convenient to furnish them. The Wo-
mans Committee will have a tent at

try, it grow to be an irritant to the
conservative woman.
However, as a sport garment, it has
no equal. 1t is still the smartest wrap
that can be gotten up for warmth.
But the cape has crept into first place.
AS a wrap for a cool morning, for an
afternoon in the open, or over dim
ner or dance gown, it is chosen before
all other garments of its kind.
The sweater is still with us. The
shops show hundreds in every color.
The people continue to buy, but the
novelty has worn off. and a woman
would prefer to be seen at a sporting
event in a good looking cape than in
crocheted.
Lavish Use of Taffeta.
The cape for the street is made of
broadcloth, of homespun and of jer-
sey cloth. The long, loose cloak of
the Puritans, which came into fashion
via France, has met with approval
and the type that Cheruit sent to this
country is better liked than the kind
Nine. Paquin made and wore. The
former has a flattened front, with
sleeves. and this gives a woman a
chance to use her hands. Such a cape
is also warmer than the loose cloak
which flies in the wind.
Taffeta, which is still used for GER
tain brilliant dinner gowns seems to
have found an abiding place in the
evening wrap. Blue, pink. apple
green, purple and Chinese yellow are
the colors that are used in the vast
variety of silk capes that women are
using for every occasion between the
hours of shutdown and midnight.
