New York.-There Is a certain in
definite connection in the mind of a
certain section of New York life be-
tween the several varieties of the avia-
tors cape worn this summer and the
remarkable personality of Captain
Resnati, who was recently killed.
1t is probably due to this one man
that New York women and their fol-
lowers wore the ripping cape with so
much grace and with such persever-
ence. He was a striking figure on
Fifth avenue, at the Ritz and in
smart houses. His death, his dramatic
and picturesque funeral at the end of
career.
All New York knew this young avia-
tor. He was probably the most ro-
mantle figure of all who have come to

this country since the war began. He
did not exploit this atmosphere which
hung about him, but he was too much
of an italian in temperament not to be
conscious of it.
1t was not only to the young that he
appealed, who felt that he had stepped
out of a story; it was to all ages and
classes of men and women. Where ne
walked, there the crowd followed;
where he sat at the Ritz each day,
there the looks were directed. He was
Extraordinarily tail for an Italian, al

were details that explained the aura
of romanticism thru which New YORK
regarded him.
He Made the Cape Fashfonapi

When the women OF the avenue
learned how to throw one end of>thelr
cape carelessly over the shoulder, they
spoke of the effect as "a la Resnatl-
When they wore the visored hat
well down over their eyes, as fitting
top to this cape, they felt themselves
more than ever like the tall young
man from Milan.
Had we been French instead OF
American, we would have named this
cape after him. Just as France called a
blouse of another war the Garibaldi
after another romantic figure. But I'M
doubtedly II was Resnati who had
the honor or trick, whatever you may
call it, of keeping up the fashion for
these picturesque capes which France
had already invented.
Women sent to Naples and Milan
for the genuine article. There were
certain types of young girls, tall and
slim, who could affect the swing OF
Captain Resnati when they wore the
high, brown, laced boots with the
cape coming to the edge, and the dark
blue cap with the gold band about IT,

die as he would wish to have died. He
