CAPES that are really practical
" are those made in three-quarter
length, well fitted about the Shout
ders and full about the bottom. They
are roomy, without being cumber-
some, and they are comfortable. But
the cape, plain and simple, is not as
well liked for general wear as the
capelike jacket and those combina-
lions of cape and coat or cape and
Jacket, which costume makers have
seized upon for making new effects in
wraps.
The long, full cape is an. ideal gar
ment for evening year. For this pur-
pose it is developed in many fabrics.
Black velvet, lined with white satin
or brocades, and white silk or satin
draped with black lace make them
selves a place of honor in wraps for
evening or other fun dress. Often
handsome furs in deep collars appear
on these as on other brilliant fabrics
The long cape promises well in the
rich brocades and pushes and EN-
broidered silks and crepes so well
adapted to it, especially in conjunc
ton with fur used in broad collars OF
bands for trimming. For warmth the
lighter fabrics are interlined.

VEGETABLE SILK IN BRAZIL
Product Called "Palna," Kind of Silk
like Cotton, Grows AbundantIy
and spontaneously.

Brazil has new product for expor-
ton, to which other countries, notably
Belgium and Switzerland. have already
paid some attention. This product is
called "paina," and is Kind of vegeta-
BILE silk or rather a silk-like cotton that
grows spontaneously and abundantly
In several of the states of Brazil. Hith-
erto it has been used by the natives,
but with no especial care in its prep
aration, in filling pillows and cushions
and for other domestic uses. A fac
tory has been started In Switzerland
for the manufacture Of cloth from this
new tissue. Some years ago in the
United States attention was called to
the fact that the silk weed" which
has a boil similar to that of cotton,
furnishes a product similar, but SUI
perior in flneness of appearance. Ia
blecloths and napkins made of this
material, which shines like satin, were
exhibited at the state fair, and as this
weed grows in Indiana, in poor soil
and, apparently, needs little cultiva-
lion, an effort was made to interest
producers, brt nothing came of 1t.

UNIQUE TOOL FOR BARRIERS
Comb Attachment is Fastened to Side
Of One Blade of Sclssors-Worked
With One Motion.

A new kind of scissors for use In
barber shops has been patented by
New Jersey man. The feature OF 1t is
b comb attachment that is fastened to
bne of the blades. Every man has Nd
ticed how the barber combs his hair
up into position for the shears. With
the implement seen here this can be
done with one motion with one hand.
One blade Of the shears has a slot
along it's outer edge. A metal spring
clip is attached to a plate with comb
on one edge. This plate lies fat along
the scissors blade and the teeth pro
iect just beyond the cutting edge
With one motion, therefore, the barber
can comb a mans hair into the posi-
ton he wants it and snip off the ends
1t is to be hoped that this will reduce

for them. The most practical are the
simple ones that can be laundered

the neck bound, the garment Is ready
for trimming.
A ruffle of shadow lace is sewed to
all the edges. Pink ribbon an inch
and half wide is used for fastening
the neck and the fronts. A half yard
sewed to each side ties into pretty
bows. Three yards will provide these
and small bows to set on the
sleeves as well.
The cap is made of a pun of white
null gathered on an elastic cord. A
band of the figured crepe is sewed
across the front and turned back
about the face. This is one of the
washable caps made to outlast an ex-
perience in the laundry. There are
many ahers, OF ribbon and laces, with
/ frills and flower. trimmings that are
prettier but less durable. 1t takes SO
little to make these bits of fineryr
even when ribbons and laces are used
that most people can afford them
The cap shown in the picture is an
excellent pattern for a sweeping OF
busting cap. No one should neglect
to protect the hair as much as pos
sible from dust. which is its worst
enemy.

For smartness and style touch the
garment shown in the picture illus
trates the effectiveness of the cavalier
cape. It's best developments are in
plain velvet with plain satin Innings.
1t is made here in combination with a
sleeveless jacket with fiaring collar.
Many of the combination wraps are
puzzling at first glance; one hardly
knows whether to classify them in the
cape list or not. Quite often what ap-
pears to be a simple cape turns out
to be a sleeved garment. The in
genuity of designers has managed to
introduce the lines of the cape into
cloaks, and has evolved cape-jackets
and cape-coats that are the most novel
of the offerings for fall and winter
wear in wraps

The towel monogram is now being

composed of a simple wreath of forget

frequently the frame is an embroid-

afraid of newspapers, and who would
not let the newspapers influence him
to govern the town for the benefit Of
business alone.
All other things being equal, l
would prefer an honest working man
to an honest business man-and l
think, from observation and expert
ence, that the percentage of honest
men is greater among working men
than among business men.
have had lawyers tell me that the
so-called professional juror makes a
better juror than a business man
does. The professional learns his
trade as a Juror. For the same rea-
son, if an honest politician can be
found / would prefer him for mayor
to an honest business man. He would
understand the job better.
Besides, the politician would make
a business of being mayor. With the
successful business man, mayor1ng
would be his side line; and he could
not get away from the effect Of busi-
ness experience, association and en-
vironment.
1 have a notion that if Mayor Har-
rison is not so strong as he once was,
it is because he has got away from
the people, and his social relations
are too comfortable and pleasant.
Tom L. Johnson, former mayor OF
Cleveland, became great mayor
when he learned that the confidence
and affection of the thousands he
never met or knew, was better worth
having than the friendship Of the sue
cessful business and professional men
he knew at his club.
He had to quit being a business
man in order to become real mayor.

perintendence, profit and loss. The
human equation enters into govern
ment. People as well as dollars must
be considered.
A business man as mayor might
get the last penny Of interest on pub
lie deposits; he might buy municipal
supplies to advantage and have an
orderly auditing of public accounts.
: But the chances are he wouldn't
know much of the history and evolu-
ton of municipal government, OF
housing, sanitation, garbage collec-
ton and disposal, vice, crime, pow
erty, unemployment, public health,
public welfare and the thousand and
one things that affect the daily life,
health and happiness of the people.
His business idea of strike or
lockout would be to use the police
department to suppress strikes and
lock up strikers. He would have the
employers point of view, and posi-
bly, be entirely honest about 1t.
Undoubtedly he would be inter
ested in the fire department, because
it's efficiency means protection OF
property. But his understanding OF
the functions of a police department
would be nil-except as it might be
used to protect property, too.
The reason that political bosses are
successful in politics, notwithstand-
ing constant criticism by newspapers
run by business men, is that they un-.
derstand human nature and take a
daily interest in the actual life of the
people in their ward or district. They
see to getting the boy job, helping
him out of trouble even if it means
getting him out of Jail. They come
in contact with the people, though it
be at weddings and funerals. In short
there is some SYMPATHY in their re-
lation with the people.
If were picking out real mayor
for Chicago, would look for a man
who would have enough sympathy
with the working class to refuse to
