Of us who can look back twenty years
recall distinctly the cape fashions of
two decades ago. Everybody wore
capes-in summer capes of cloth,
preferably cadet blue, fawn color or
smoke gray in shade, and in winter
capes Of seal5kin, monkey fur and
heavy blanket cloth with reverse
side of plaid. 1t took several years
for the cape fashion of twenty years

slowly faded out, though long after

spring that their popularity was as
