TO REMAKE FROCK
Addition Of Cape That Matches
Provides Up-to- Dateness
Fabric That Blends May BE Used,
Lined With silk in Shade Like
the Dress.

Making over last-season frock has
become a popular experiment with O.
great many women these days. One
Of the best possible ways to make a
simple one-piece frOck of last seasons
vintage look like one of the 1922
models Is to equip it with a cape that
matches, or at least blends, with the
costume well enough to make 1t seem
an actual part Of the year-old frock.
This may be accomplished in num-
Der of ways. OF course, best Of all is
the actual matching Of the dress fab
rlc and the fashioning Of the smart
cape to accompany It. If this is not
possible, then fabric in some color that
blends with the frock may be pur-
chased, and 1t may be lined with silk
In shade exactly matching the dress.
Stitching a fabric in heavy silk
thread or in beads to match the frock
It Is to accompany is often done, the
plain material being transformed into
checkered or striped weave, so far
as appearances are concerned. Very
fine silk braid is frequently used for
this purpose, instead of the silk stitch
ing.
A smart one-piece frock and match
ing cape is made Of light tangerine
cOlOred duvetyn or velours. The frock
fastens in front, little loops of the
fabric serving as buttonholes and the
buttons are small bullet-shaped af-
fairs covered with black silk A silk
braid girdle holds the frock in at the
waistllne. The cape is lined with black

SOCCER GAINING BIG
POPULARITY in EAST
Dribbling Game Getting Stronger
Hold Every Season.
Leading Colleges Have Adopted Pro.
fesslenaI Coaching, Indicating
Prejudice Against Pastime
Has Been Removed.

Soccer football among the colleges.
particularly 1.-THE Big Six" Penn,
Princeton, Harvard, Cornell, Haver-
ford and Yale, which form the In
tercOllegiate league, will prove more
interesting than ever this season. The
reason for this is because Of the fact
that the great dribbllng game Is get
ting stronger hold every season in
the various colleges. The league last
year enjoyed its best season. That
was because Of the close race for the
championship between Penn and
Princeton, which was not decided un-
til the playoff game, which necessitated
the teams meeting on two occasions be-
fore Penn finally won the title,
It seems only a few months since
soccer was first tried out at Penn and
Haverford, Harvard, Yale, Princeton
and Cornell came later. All Of L"The
Big Six" now have paid coaching
forces, which indicates that the colleges
have gone in stronger for the game
than was anticipated at the start
1t is only a few years ago that none
Of the teams were permitted to play
on the college football grounds, but
now that Is all history with some Of
the teams having at least a couple
OF patches on which to play their
league matches.
Pennsylvania has won the champion
ship more times than any of the other
teams. Haverford comes next with
Harvard, the only other team to have
Its name dented among the titleholders.
For the last few years the race for the
bunting, however, has been more open
than formerly. That has resulted ow.
Ing to the weaker teams being In a
better position each year through more
students taking up the game which has
given the coaches a bigger field from
which to develop varsity material.
Penn this year, under normal con-
ditions, would be handicapped getting
together a strong enough team to make
showing, owing to the fact that of
last years championship eleven only
two remain for the coming season.

FASHION NOTES

Velvet still is good for entire cos
tunes, but 1t is considered smarter
this season when used in combination
with soft wool fabric or with silk or
satin.
NightgOwns made of silk, similar to
that used for mems shirts, are shown,
made on very simple lines and finished
with a double row of machine hem
stitching.
All shimmering fabrics are not all
silk, though they are known by names
that convey the silk idea. BengalIne
is worsted-filled silk that has good
wearing qualities and is Of attrac-
tive texture.
Deep-piled wOolens for coats have
such soft and close texture that they
resemble fur. Chemire resembles
beaver in its deep, lustrous pile.
Armida conveys a good idea of Per-
sian lamb fur. Panvelalne Is a close
suggestion of otter. Wool canton
has a pebbly surface, and is shown
in all the new color tones.
Camisoles made with lace and en-
broidery trimming at the front to
show in the cloth suits and dresses in
stead Of vests are being shown in
great numbers. The camisole itself is
made of net, satin, crepe, edged about
the top with lace and strapped over
the shoulder with ribbon. The vest
front in some of them is loose and
long enough to hang down over the
skirt.
Sets comprised of hats and scarfs
are being developed by the different
designers as accessories to the winter
outfit. Some Of them are made of
fur and silk and metal fabric combina-
tiOns, others are of flowers, and in
clude muffs for evening wear. Still
others are of paisley effects, or
roman striped material combined into
many different and clever shapes and
sizes.

Wool Wells Like SILK.

There are wool wells of finest thread
much like thread Of silk. Some of
these gossameFy fabrics convey hint
Of Iuster, while others have a soft and
down look that is quite new and fetch

be forgotten-that huge square Of al

For evening wear. also, crepe de
