are used for evening wraps, and make
very useful substitutes for these more
ambitious garments. Turquoise and
other light blues. orchid, gold, rose,

The cape shown in the picture Is Of
light blue taffeta and is simply a
straight strip Of the silk gathered to
a band on each edge. The long ties at
the front are made Of strips of silk,
finished with picot edge, and fasten the
cape with big bow Of two loops. The
merest amateur In sewing can manage
cape Of this kind. They are useful
to throw about the shoulders at the
tea-dance. between dances, or any
where that a scarf Is needed.

ings finish them and they are fastened
with ties Of soft ribbon matching them
In color, or with silk cords. They are
shaped like the small fiat capes Of fur
which came In as a new feature in fur
styles In the present season.
There are as many small fancy neck.
pieces in fur and velvet as there are
little capes. Most Of them mufiie up
the neck in the approved fashion. and
are worn with nuns to match. They
suggest good use for fur garments or
sets that are partly worn, and must be
either made over or cut up into bands
for trimming. Fur bandings are used
on dresses. hats. bags. and all sorts Of
wraps.

The always. popular crepe de chine
and crepe geOrgette In blOuses might
lose interest, If interest were not con-
stantly stimulated by variations In
style. Both materials are presented In
models made to wear with tailored
suits, in less simple ones for formal
afternoon suits. and in wonderful cos
tune blouses that rivet the attention
on themselves.
The blouse of crepe de chine shown
here belongs to- the aforementioned
class. 1t Is made with open throat
and fastens at the side under the col
lar. The full sleeves are gathered into
narrow cuffs. Two buttons. with simu-
lated buttonholes. are placed at the
front, two others appear on the girdle
and one ON each cuff. All buttonholes
are worked with dark-colored silk.
This clever management of the fas-
k,nings Is in harmony with the very
handsome embroidery. Of our Egyptian
motif, which appears at each side Of
the front. Fine needlework counts for
SO much in blouses of all kinds, and
