Capes may fairly be said to have taken the world of dress by storm. This one is charmingly graceful and attractive and makes really ideal summer wrap while, treated little differently, it would also be charming for the street suit of autumn, for capes undoubtedly will be used in place of coats throughout the coming season. In the picture, the material is charmeuse satin lined with thin silk. For the street suit, the cape would be pretty made of serge, gabardine or any similar material. It takes ex- tremely graceful lines and folds, shows exceptionally becoming shaping and withal is the simplest garment possible to make since there are no seams and only the edges to be finished. For the street suit, navy blue serge or gabardipe with the cape lined with plaid or striped silk would be exceedingly smart.
 The cape will require 7L yds. of ma terial 77 or 36. yds. A, IL yds. s2 in. wide. with 4 yd. 77 in. wide for the collar.
 The pattern of the cape S33o is cut in or,e size only. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of ten cents.

Dressing of Her Little Boy Matter
 Within Province of His Mother
It Is She Who Determines What He Shall Wear From
 Day of His Birth Until He Reaches Age of Ten at Least

1 somewhat surprising how little one finds.
 Do Not Depart Radically from Ac- cepted Styles. Even in attempting radical depart | ure from the set fashions one is apt 1 to stray from the narrow path of l good style The Fauntleroy and Buster Brown suits of past popular ity, for example, cannot be included in the present day manual of smart ness. and were one to combine the Russian blouse with little trousers of the Dickens suit type one would but | mar the correctness of the forms. Indeed, so closely are certain rules of precedent adhered to that while the collar of the middy blouse is often colored the tie should be black, and-were one to insist on strictly correct form--the tie should be tied in sailor knot, instead of in bow style.
 But to consider the subject more broadly than by the mere enumerat- ing of examples, even in the dressing of children of tender years the i'm portance of avoiding the vulgar and directing ideas of dress along lines
 
 taste should be emphasized. There Is no trite saying more true in this connection than that "as the twig is bent, so is the tree inclined"
 Dress from the Tenth to the Sixteenth
 Year.
 From his tenth to his sixteenth year is, however, the period when the boy should have most careful di- rection in the clements of good dress, and be taught the importance of proper regard for the selection and care of his clothes.
 It is then that, having had the un- conscious teaching by example of his earlier years. his taste should be moulded; that he should be taught to distinguish between the exclusive and the vulgar in design and color, and-more than all-that he should be made to form habits of neatness and absolute cleanliness. In brief, It is the time when boy should learn what to wear, when and how to wear 1t, and how to take care of it.
 Tn such an idea there Is nothing that need savor in the least of prig- gishness. Nor is it by any means intended to encourage a taste for ex- travagance or ostentation. Indeed. quite the opposite, because a thor ough knowledge of good style pre- cludes the least suspicion of snob- bery or overdisplay.
 Good Style is Not Miss Nancyness.'
 The idea is not, of course, to fos- ter in the natural, healthy boy. a Miss Nancyness" that will keep him from rolling around in the mud of wet football field, or. to use baseball expression, trying to steai bases standing up, but to impress upon him the desirability of not doing these things in his white fan nel suits and, after his games, of get ing under shower bath brushing his hair and attending to his finger nails before he again appears in polite" society.
 More than this, he should be taught that there is much benefit to be derived from a regular morning tub, and that to be scrupu1ously neat and well groomed is a duty he owes to himself, his family and his friends.

The dressing of her little boy is matter entirely within the province of the mother. She determines what he shall wear from the day of his birth until he reaches the age of ten, at least; and in the great majority of cases it is she who selects his apparel and she alone who is responsible for the result.
 incident to motherhood at all in the light of a responsibility to the child :: Or is his clothing to her a mere ne- cessity. to be given special thought only upon dress occasions, and then with the object of showing him off to advantage according to her ideas of good taste, or fashion, mainly for the gratif1cation of her own personal vanity?
 Mothers Appreciate Mental Influence
 of Clothes.
 Tn these eugenic days few are the mothers, of any reading or educa- tion whatever, who do not appreci- ate, to some extent at least, the sus- ceptibility of the child mind to carry influences. Yet how many have thought of carrying this early influ- ence into practice in connection with directing an education in dress along such lines of good taste and good form as will remain with their boys through life?
 Correct and Smart Styles for Young
 Boys.
 During his infantile days the ques- tion for that mother who will put aside such individual ideas as she may feel inclined to experiment with is a comparatively simple one. for, quite aside from any individuality of style or type her little boy may possess, the smart fashions of his dress are much more narrowly de- fined than are those which govern maturity.
 She may, perhaps, have the idea that in running counter to them she expresses greater personality, but while in small details of color. trim ming Or material there is always a certain degree of latitude in their main forms they are very definitely established, not only by convention but by the precedent of fashion. Russian Blouses for the Child of Four.
 For the little fellow. just over the line of babyhood, come the Russian blouse suits, the first simple style of white linen, with turned-back cuffs and collarless neck, finished with a white embroidered, scalloped edge: the second a slightly more elaborate effect of white linen, al- though the touch of extra finish is given merely by the square cut at the neck. the shorter and narrower cuff sleeves and the feather stitching of brown.
 Tn the same category come the Dickens suits, of which there is pretty Oliver Twist model, of rose colored linen, with broad, white col lar and large pearl buttons and fol- lowing these-that is, for the boy of same age and on for several years more-come the sailor suits, with small sailor collar of navy blue, cuffs striped with white braid. and black silk tie.
 Of these models there is infinite variety in color and in detail of trim ,nink, but while they do not make up all there is in the way of suits for the little fellow. when one comes to look for decided variation it is

The fashionable woman is now pretty we'll accustomed to fuller effects.
 The latest patterned silks show enormous flowers and fruit decora- lively treated. A charming finish to the ends of towel is elongated peacocks worked in cross-stitch.
