gold cord. There is q stakeliness about
the three-oornered wraps which
makes them unsuited to younger wo-
men; debutante in such a wrap
looks like a little girl dressed up in
grown folks attire. By the same
token the woman verging on middle
age should avoid the stately and dig
nif1ed wrap which lends impressive
ness and years and stick to the grace
full coat or abide by the frivolous lit
tie shoulder scarf, which is more
youthful in suggestion.
Shoulder Wraps More Youthful Than
Long Ones.
An adorable debutante wrap of
corded chiffon. with a hat and reti-
Guile to match, are shown in one of
the illustrations. The scarf is made
of violet chiffon. six yards or more
of the f1lmy material being shirred
over cable cords into the two and a
half yard length of the scarf. The
ends are caught together to form
tabs which hang just below the waist
line when the wrap is in place on the
shoulders. the ends of the scarf being
rounded in shape instead of straight
across. and the cords going around
the ends. A wreath of fine lilac
sprays is sewed between the two outer
rows of cording all along the edge
of the scarf and the shirred chiffon
reticule and hat are trimmed with
clusters of the lilacs. The wrap is
lined with lilac chiffon matching the
outside and this little wrap, with its
rows of cording, closely shirred ma
terial and trimming bands of flowers,
has really a substantial weight and
forms more of a protection over thin
frocks than the usual sort of chiffon
shoulder scarf. The same model is
shown. made OF white chiffon, with
white nlacs. Pale blue chiffon with
forgetmenots would alsO be charm
ing on a young girl.
The rettcule in this photograph is
carried in the modish manner-with
very long cord handles looped over
the shoulder, the bag hanging under
the arm. Reticules are carried in this
way with all the smart afternoon
frocks this summer, and one sees even
shopping reticules swinging from the
shoulder in this fashion.

A lovely pink chiffon coat for even

illustrations. This coat is particular

in self color on the sheer material
