When costumers have busted them
yelves for weeks turning out numbers
IT beautiful and graceful afternoon
frocks they come to a place where
fney take time to explore occasional
by-paths of fancy. Then we are trent
I'd to a few odd and sometimes anus
Ing ideas in frocks of varieties quite
different from those that have gone be-
fore. The late arrivals lend spice to
the styles and sometimes prove to be
the forerunners of new models. After
a survey of this seasons afternoon
frocks the two models pictured here
are more than likely to be pronounced
"odd," but with the concession that
they are pleasing.
Satin and georgette were made for
each other and Join forces in the
quaint-looking frock on the figure al
the left of the picture. A plain satin
skirt is the foundation for short, full
tunic of georgette, which in turn sup
ports three bands Of satin. In thu
bodice the order is reversed and thu
c,,pe provides the under portion ant

furnishes the long sleeves. The
short-sleeved peasant waist worn
over 1t has a double row of small,
round, satin-covered buttons down the
front, set very close together. All Its
edges are piped with satin-coyered
cord. This frock must stand or fall
on its own merits. as it has nothing In
the way of precedent to lean upon in
the seasons showings.
The dress at the right starts out
with plain skirt of satin and finishes
up with very short tunic and bodice
Of the same material. For once geOr-
gette crepe plays no part in the story.
The tunic is shorter at the left side
than at the right and manages to
make place for three bands of satin
and also contrives to look frivolous.
A full bodice and wide, crushed girdle
| lend such flavor of youthfulness to
| this frock that It's frivolity is taken as
matter of course, and the deep far
| ing cuffs that finish the sleeves prove
SO unexpected as to be amusing.

Capes and capelike wraps have
taken such hold upon popular taste
that designers continue to offer new
models in them. 1t is something of a
task to avoid duplicating styles and
to preserve flavor of individuality in
wraps as simply constructed as the
cape is, but the ingenuity of their
makers keep them from being tire
somefy alike. There is a better
chance for variety in dolmans and in
combinations of cape and dolman, and
an occasional model that is cape,
pure and simple, makes a success
merely by contrast with these.
A cape Of this kind in a black and
white checked wool fabric invites
study as a pratical summer wrap, as
shown In the picture. For young
women and for misses its simplicity
recommends it. 1t IS a snappy and
youthful model with plain black satin
collar and lining Of gray foulard.
canes made of the lighter weight wool
ems are usually shorter than those of

Y,r length, Is a good example
