Myth the disappearance OF the nor
w NAL waist line girdles have be-
come wider and still wider. They wrap
the figure in many cases from below
the bust to the thigh, making a
straight line instead of a curved line
at the front and back. Less extreme
and more popular are those from nine
to twelve inches wide, which are ad-
justed loosely about the waist.
Two girdles Of this kind, which
merit attention because they show
new features in their construction, are
shown here. One of them is made OF
MORE ribbon not more than three
inches wide. II is in golden-brown
color shading from light to dark.
Lengths of this moire ribbon are
sewed together by hand in the very
tiniest of seams. In this way ribbon
too narrow for the present styles can
be used to make wide girdles.
Using the same idea, silk ribbons of
other kinds are widened by machine
stitching them to velvet ribbons. A
very attractive girdle is made by
black velvet ribbon on both edges of a
colored satin ribbon or one of brocade.

ONE Of the most elaborate OF the

pictured here. II is a two-piece gar.
ment in which a very full, long cape
is set on TO surplice. 1t is the most
ample and enveloping of all the capes
which the season has brought out.
The material used is a soft, heavy
black satin, with a lining OF white
satin. lighter in weight but equally as
soft.
The surplice portion of this garment
crosses below the bust line in the
front and hooks in the back. The ma
terial is turned back, in the form of
revers. and provided with a ripple col
lar across the back Of the neck. The
lower or cape portion of the garment
is set on to the surplice by means of
a piping. In order to provide for the
ample fullness which ripples about
the bottom the cape is cut in circular
form. 1t is - inches longer in the
back than in the front The fronts
are rounded off and sloped gradually
to the longest point at the middle of
the back
Made in this way the lining is al

Gus part OF the garment. Instead OF
the plain, white satin there are rich
and brilliant brocades, or broad and
pronounced stripes, or a great variety
of plaids OF all descriptions from
which a choice OF Innings may be
made. For general utility the white
lining will serve best.
There is plenty OF room in this cape

wishes the hands free, and even so
the fronts will hang fairly straight

a loose garment with flowing sleeves
Few capes this season are capes pure
and simple, but of cape-like garments
there are many This model may be
recommended for anyone who aspires
TO the really magnificent black velvet
or velvet in colors for evening wear.
The style is suited to rich fabrics and
dress occasions, and it is unsuited to
ordinary cloths or to bulky wooden
fabrics.
One may not hope to find anything
more graceful than the cape, for eve
ming wear, and the individual wearer
can improvise her own special style
in managing the cape and thereby
achieve distinction.

She half turned, as II to interrupt.
Then she thought better of 1t and kept

flushed. But he had learned what he
hoped-that she could hear him.
You ask me why feel so strongly,

And then, knowing he had only a

became deep and earnest. His hands,
that were clutching chair-back, took
a stronger hold, so that the ends of
the nails were white

a little pale, II love Miss Jennings

Miss Patty suddenly took her fingers
out OF her ears and turned around.
She was flushed and shaken, but she
looked past him without blinking an
eyelash to me.

And with that she picked up her
nun and went out, with not a glance
