TIPS ON THE MODES
WHICH NOW ATTRACT
Florentine Effects in Capes-Also
Irish Peasant Styles Are
Liked.

Capes are very long and full in the
Florentine shape and extremely pic
turesque Many Of these capes are set
into a round yoke, after the manner OF
the long cloth cloaks worn by the Irish
peasants. They are lined with colored or
brocaded satin and, with the addition of
a fur collar, they make ideal evening and
afternoon wraps in winter.
Instead Of being drawn in about the
hem, to produce the once-popular pegtop
silhouette, the top coat now flares from
the shoulders, some models being Of such
ample proportions that they resemble
capes from the back. Bright colors are
favored, and the Scotch plaids are very
much in demand.
Black lace hats trimmed with bands Of
skunk or sable are to be seen for dress
wear Some of these hats are Of the
Princess Lamballe order, with full crowns
and fat pleated brims. Others suggest
mob caps and are worn down over the
hair with a smart little frill framing the
face. Even the corday is seen.
One Of the most delightful advance
models is a sailor shape covered with
black breitschwanz and lined with rust
red velvet The crown Is rather low. ana
for trimming there is a cluster Of black
and white wings placed well out on the
brim, near the front
Blouses Of the jumper type are regard
ed with high favor and are especially
adapted to the use of two materials.
Cloth-top shoes are quite the smartest
in footwear.
A very dashing novelty is a gold lace
with a flower pattern of so light a sill
yer as to look white.

All. not that face! You were our friend
Too close to be 50 silent now;
The love. the laughter at an end

We loved you, but We went our ways,

Along the road we went.
We loved you, but we never guessed

Were aiming for a farther quest
