If you want to color anything tenn

CAPE IS POPULAR
Fall Model Embraces Several Un-
usual Features.
Velveteen One Of the Leading Fabrics
for Wraps as Well as for Dresses
and Suits.

Fashion authorities say capes will
be very much favored during the fall
and winter seasons OF 1o1S-19. But
some style changes must be effected.
One of the newest models for fall,
made up as originally designed in
terra Gotta cOlored velveteen, lined
throughout with pale gray satin, is
shown in the sketch. There are sew
eral unusual feature in this cape,
one of the most pronounced being its
deep, long sleeves, while another
equally striking point Of difference is
the back of the garment. The sleeves
and the front alone justify this gar
ment in qualifying as n cape. The
back is decidedly "codtee," reaching
just to the waist, WI ere II is held in
by the folded belt or sash glrdle which
goes around the figure and ties in
front, holding the front sections In
place.
Velveteen is one of the leading fab
rics for fall, and it Is to be used not
only In the development OF wraps of
all kinds, but as dress and suit
fabric as well. There is as yet no
noticeable shortage Of velvets and vel
veteens, and they are being pressed
into service In large quantities to re-
place the staple and novel wool
weaves that are scarce owing to the
governments requirements and to the
fact that foreign markets are offer
ing little, If any, fabrics whatever.
For present wear the graceful cape
here shown would be charming devel-
0ped in satin. with lining either Of
satin in a contrasting shade, or with
chiffon or georgette used as the lining
material.
The scarf collar used on this wrap
is the most approved neck finish for
many fall and winter suits as well as

The Padre Scores.

Now and again a guy will take me-
off to one side and fix it up with me
to write his girl or his mother after
he is bumped off, promising to do the
fame for me.
Yet they joke about it, too. Pop

"You won't forget that little matter,
padre, will you?"
what little matter Is that?" asked
the chaplain.
"Why. my tombstone"

Paper Parasois.

One way to conserve fabrics Is to
carry paper parasols. The fact is at
fashionable seashore resorts there Is
quite a vogue for attractive japanese
paper parasols. and as they are very
much less expensive than silk para
soils, the young girl who takes up this
Tad can secure parasol to go with
almost every frOck In her wardrobe.
They are made with wooden handles
and short stubb ferrules, such as one
finds In many Of the fabric parasOls.
By means OF ribbon or silk cord at
tached to the handle such a parasOl
can be dangled over the wrist when
not In use.

NICE FOR TRAY BREAKFASTS
individual Sets Of Dresden China or
WlIIowware Have Specially
Decorated Linens.

Hostesses Of today are sending up
tray breakfasts to their guests rather
than expecting them to come into the
dining room for breakfast, and even
in households where the people are in
rather moderate circumstances there
are likely to be one or two individual
breakfast sets. These sets may be Of
the most fragile Dresden china or they
may be Of porcelain with an old-fash-
ioned design Of flowers.
Each set consists of a small coffee
pot, sugar bowl, cream and hot water
pots, q covered dish, cereal bowl, plate,
butter plate, egg cup, cup and saucer
and salt shaker.
1t Is the fad just now to have a set
Of linen for each breakfast set. For
instance, If the set is Dresden, there
are a cloth for the tray, tiny cover
for the toast, cozy for the egg and Il
napkin, buttonhOled in pink or blue,
with Dresden flowers embroidered In
the corners. If it is willOwware set,
the linen is coarser and has a blue
picOted edge and pair Of doves out
lined in the corner.
The breakfast might consist Of q
grapefruit or q cocktail glass Of or.
ange juice, little cereal, an egg, some
toast or roll, small jar Of jam, and
a pot Of coffee. Many hostesses are
buying these tiny jars and filling them
when they make their jam for just
this thing.

Kept Potato In Warm Place.

1t was limited that some proprletors
Of greengrocery stalls in the neighbor-
hood Of certain schools found their
stocks of potatoes mysteriously dwin-
died owing to the children's sympathy
for the outcast and forlorn. But, any
how, the sacks have been rifled. One
teacher was presented by small In
fant with warm potato.
"But ! can't have this one, Bobby"
said she. Its cooked"

assuring reply. "Tve only bin minding

wraps, and 1t may be worn open or
closed according to choice.
Both silk and wool Jersey cloth are
popular cape fabrics, and capes are
fashioned of these materials as ac-
compartments of some Of the seasons
smartest bathing suits. The rubber
or rubberized cape featured very
strongly last season was not found
very satisfactory, and wraps Of the
knitted weave materials are much
preferred this year. These loose
wraps are more practical than sweat
ers or sweater coats. formerly SO much
worn on the beaches to protect necks
and arms Of bathers.

 Tt is probable that the men in the French armies suffer to a like extent, for the conditions under which they live are identical with those of the other armies
 During the formative period of the American army in France the men were able to keep fairly clean-cn y fstirIy-but with the opening of the Eear's activity they we're set upon the same footing as their allies.

 the men of all armies are washed and dried and newly underclothed once a fortnight. Sometimes glad eyed op- timists clean up their men once q week.
 Even if that were possible, the louse would not be disposed of. He , would manage to cling n the over looked fold of a blanket or under the collar of an overcoat. And by and by i romance would begin to sing in his | blood and he would meet lady louse and set up housekeeping.
