ART IN. WEARING THE CAPE
Graceful Swing Of the Wearer Counts
More Than the Kind Of
Fabric and Color.

The most popular type of summer
wrap Is the loosely flowing cape. This
holds true of wraps designed for both
daytime and evening wear. The wom-
an who owns q cape or contemplates
the purchase Of n or who plans TO
make n for herself, should realize
that the real charm Of a wrap of this
kind Is In the way 1t is worn. One
m may stink along I'm a cape and
look hOpelessly dowdy, while another
woman will fling the folds abo-4 her
figure and carry the cape so well that,
1t will be a genuine thing Of beauty,
no matter what It's color or fabric.
One Of the popular cape styles of
the present season is that made OF
accordion plated serge or ~tricotine.
The cape may be merely a single sec
ton af accordion plating. the plaits
running from neck to edge in an an
broken line, or 1t may be a double or
triple affair. Keeping the accordion
plated Is troublesome and expensive,
and a midsummer rival Of this type of
cape Is the plain one Of taffeta or satin,
lined with material in a contrasting
shade.

CLOTHES IN PARIS
Furs Disappear and Summer
Hats and Dresses Arrive.
Milady is Not Confined to Any One
Fashion, but May Choose
From Hundreds.

The fine weather has brought out
many gay clothes, writes a Paris CORE
%spondent In the London Times. Furs
have almost disappeared, large hats
are taking the place of small ones, and
summer dresses that of spring tailor
mades.
Some of the dresses are fantastic In
style and need a great deal of wear
Ing; others are delightfully."- simple.
The general effect of all the new
styles Is interesting and diverting.
There is not one fashion, nor eve
two. but hundreds, so that there is no
monotony, and almost any style Is rec
ognized. The only thing that looks
completely out of date is the long
skirt, and the very short skirt is de-
Ginning in favor. 1t Is now worn chief
~ by young women who lunch in the
Tuileries gardens on a crolssant and
n bit of chocolate; they almost dis
close their knees and allow nc more
than a yard and n half in width pos
sibly they are inspired by methods Of
economy. Far more becoming Is the
ankle-length skirt, just slim enough
for comfort and grace. A neat little
tailor-made with pl!sse side-panels, a
coat with pllsse basques, shawl collar
and cuffs, In striped blue, green and
black; under it a green crepe blouse
lightly embroidered in blue and black,
with a black taffetas hat and a lace
veil, give a result that Is neat and
effective. Foulard. crepe marocain,
taffetas, and crepe de chine are made
up in many different styles for the
afternoon. The plisse skirt is preva-
lent, and the plisse tunic slit at the
sides is In favor. Short sleeves, low
neck, and sashes make an unimportant

OBLONG PARASOL 1920 MODEL
Transparent, Gayly Colored Things,
Wet and Glistening, Are Atten-
ton Arresting.

The dreariness of q rainy day may
be utterly dehed IL n is fortified
by a bright colored oiled silk umbrel-
la. Although we have become accus-
toned to protecting ourselves from
the downpour by umbrellas Of bright
silks, these transparent, gayly colored
things, all wet and glistening with
rain, are attention aIresting. They
come in colors as brilliant as the rain
bows hues. The transparent effect is
carried out even in the tips and the
handles, which are of bakelite. !
The oblong parasol is the p~arasol of
1920. SO say its makers. But 1t is
impossible to predict the extent Of its
success. There is no reason why we
should not carry oblong parasols.
They certainly have many advantages
over the round n There, are few
err angles to interfere with your own
or other peoples hats on q crowded
promenade. Then m car set them
on the beach with the certainty that
they will not roll away under the i'm
petus Of the slightest breeze. Wlep
closed they give a petal effect.

NEAT STAND FOR FANCYWORK
verted Into an Attractive and Use.
full Receptacle.

What girl does not like a room that
is frightened by a bit of cretonne?
What girl would not like a place to
keep sewing materials and bits Of
f%ancywork where they are out of the
way and easy to reach when one has
an inspiration to sew? A normal girl
likes both Of these things, and the
great number of normal girls in the
world will be glad Of an opportunity
to learn how to make that bit of fur
niture which is so useful and colorful.
This stand Is made out Of q wash
board. An old washboard will do. A
c~retOnne work pocket Is tackled along
the front and sides of the board. A
slight frame Of wood should be made
to keep the cretOnne away from the
board ut the top, so that a good-sized
pocket is formed. The %cretonne, Of
course, is tackled fast to the bottom Of
the board. og
Before the ~cretonne Is tackled into
place the zinc should be covered with
a piece Of clOth.to form a pocket lin
ing. The recess at the top of the
board which holds the soap Is util-
lied Il hold scissors and thread. Nails
should be driven into the bar across
the bottom Of this recess to form spin
dies for the spools. Two pieces Of
tape at the back of the board will hold
the scissors.
The stand is supported like an
easel by screwing a pair Of uprights
to the sides of the washboard. These
uprights are held together near the
lower ends by means of a horizontal
strip.
