Season in and season out the cape
I tlourishes in undiminished popularity.
1t is not often, declares fashion au-
thOrity, that q conspicuous fashion
such as this, which quickly attained
universal favor, survives for a single
season, much less for the four we'll
rounded ones which the cape already
has to its credit, as it enters on the
summer solstice with following as
enthusiastic as ever. .z. & +
There are capes long and short,
capes slim and straight or draped in
v0luminous folds, three TERED capes,
reversible capes, capes in striking
combinations of two materials in one
color or of two cOlOrs in the same
material, curious and interesting capes
and cobwebby sketches of capes in
georgette or tulle boldly accented with
fur.
One sees much less of the WaistcOat
sin the summer cape models. 1t is
Ahard to tell whether the almost total
elimination of this feature in all ex-
:! cept the strictly sport models is due
to the fact that it's added warmth is
mo longer desirable or whether it has
been simply done to death.
Collar Arrangements.
The collar arrangement which wraps
around the neck in many folds is still
much in evidence, but there are capes
. with Medici collars, capes with fit
ted yoke and high close-ftting collar
J and capes with no more collar than
a band about the shoulders.
One Of the most useful cape models
has very wide band of the fabric
folded softly back across the front
from hem to hem. This can be gath
cred snugly about the throat or al
lowed to fall in gracefully negligent
folds around the shoulders as occa-
sion demands.
This cape is displayed at it's best
In two-toned combinations Of one ma
terial or In different fabrics of identi-
cal color. It is handsomely developed
In navy, blue serge and satin or in
castor tricolette and duveteen.
4. There is a peculiar smartness about
IKE circular three-tiered capes, and
ss mere are capes on straight lines also
with three tiers, the extremely wide
cape collar which falls well below the
shoulder line forming the upper tier.
These capes are at their best In
Poiret twill or gabardine, but it is
only fair to say that the useful navy
blue serge cape has been relegated to
the background which useful old
friends are so frequently required to
grace.
In dealing with the summer cape
there is not much to be said Of wOOlen
fabrics except as they are used in
combination with silken stuffs or in
their unchallenged field, the sport out

For Sport Wear.
For summer sports the strictly serv-
Siceable tailored capes of English
worsteds and tweeds may be passed
over as year round standbys, but capes
gsce homespnn, dyed in soft fruity col
Sors, have. by reason of their light
open weave distinctly summery
place in the sport outfit.
ss Wool jersey still has a claim on the
nH:mmer spOrtswOman and capes Of
sthis fabric are frequently seen, the
most popular development Of this gar
nlent being the detachable cape to be
