Wrap in Favor
as Paris Mode

contrasting color to the skirt and
coat
The leading American dressmaking
houses report absolutely no demand
for the tailored suit.
Although creators of styles may
bring out startling new things, they
are too clever 10 force them upon
| the public. There is a vast differ
ence between creators of styles anS
makers of fashions, the former be-
ing the originators of the models
that are brought out from which wom-
en- may make their choice and the lat
ter the woman who wears her clothes
with such grace and charm that every
other woman wants to copy them.
Humped-Back Cape Bizarre Novelty.
Designers and manufacturers, to
be successful from financial point of
view, must make what women want.
whether 1t is new fashion or an old
one. Consequently they have given
unstinted attention to coats. There is
an unlimited number Of models as
well as materials displayed. Beautiful
crepe de chine coats and capes vie
with those of soft satins and striking
new worsteds.
Laces not only plain. but beautiful
~ embroidered. play their part, as do
wonderful trimmings of ribbons and
silks. Huge rOsettes on one coat
illustrate a typical new coat trim
ming. This is Madeleine ct Made
leine's new humped-back cape, said to
be designed after the Hindustan or
Persian priests robe. This wrap is
the sensational novelty of their col
lection. 1t is developed in black and
gold lame. with deep fiounces of black
net threaded with black and gold to
form a pattern on Brussels mesh sim
liar to the new face veilings. These
f1ounces are bordered by narrow
fittings of the same embroidered net.
Encircling the body are five huge
flower motifs, in rose pattern, de-
veloped in a cotton ribbon, hand
painted in water colors TO simulate
Gaded tea rose shades. These orna-
ments are distinctly like a padded
applique standing away about half
an inch.
The peculiar neck effect in this
wrap, which is a distinctly new fea-
ture, is obtained by a framelike sup
port or lining which holds it to tie
back. 1t in no way separates the
collar, but continues with the drapery
of the coat. Mile. Madeleine, who
designed the coat, claims that it is
suitable for all types of figures, and
will give q more slender line to the
stout woman than the ordinary col
lar Through an inside support the
material forming the wrap flares
down from a rounding shelflike eX-
tension, and, once the folds of the
material leave the neck, 1t is a fact
that they do fall perfectly straight,
so that there is absolutely no curve
Of the figure at the center back. The
head and neck of the wearer seem TO
fit into this grOOvelike space formed
by the collar foundation. 1t is most
eccentric. but, one must admit, In
teresting. 1t has a name Of its own
-Seindia.
Blue Serge Wrap Transparent Effect.
1t is not only In the dressy wraps
that one finds this collar of Made
leine ct Madeleine. but also in more
practical styles for day wear. The
model known as Trou Trou, is ap
interesting example of the use of the
hump collar In connection with a waist
length cape, showing that it is equally
well adapted for the more simple form
of wrap.
Another important and interest
ing feature in connection with this
model is that, while the coat is de-
veloped in blue serge. 1t is given a
transparent effect through the very
elaborate open-pattern embroidery
which shows a crepe geOrgette lin
ing.
