What to Wear
Skirt That Is Unusual Combination

BY NINE. QUI WYE.

The time has passed. when a woman
or brains has to back M her claims
of intellectuality by wearing
sense heels and ugly clothes.
a stunning cape is among the tra-la-
las that sing our money out of our
purses.
1t is made Of NicuiIa or vclourS de

nit the cape to lie suspended from the
shoulders. with the C"llar-ends crossed
over tho corsagc and tied in a sash

effect is scenic. IL ot'thcatrical. and
we might say tits also very dashtnr,
