There are women who would never
dream of letting a borrowed fifty cent
piece go unpaid overnight, and who
cannot rest after an entertainment
until the score has been paid off on
their own account; yet letter of sym

go unanswered on their desks for

those friends who fill the 6rst two or

not so very convincing after all.

And the small fur cape protects the
neck and throat Of the modern gown
which is apt 10 be cut rather low or
to have a transparent bodice and
sleeve. These little capes may be had
in various furs. There are many mod
els OF moleskin with gray squirrel
trimming and some capes are of
shirred chiffon with gray fox border.
Less sealskin Is seen this season than
formerly in the summer wraps of
peltry but there are brown-toned
wraps of fitch. sable and mink with
trimming of skunk or fox.
Scarfs Very Popular
Long fur scarfs are worn gracefully
with summer costumes and some of
these scarfs are Of seal, though the
preference Is for moleskin decidedly.
Such q scarf is half yard wide at
least. and some models are wider.

Double.Hcaded Neckpieces

Two animal scarfs are much smart

and there is reason for this. One

on cool day and a single strip of fur
about the throat does not add much
warmth whereas double scarf makes
a practical little shoulder wrap. One
of the new doubled-headed neckpleces
is pictured. the animal scarfs OF soft
taupe fox, with two heads forming
the clasp and two brushes swinging
below the waistline. Two more brushes
shoulder. Dark fox neckpleces and
especially taupe and gray ones are
more fashionable this year than white
fox neckpieces which are little seen.

ET scarcely pays nowadays to try 10
n make the children's little bathing
costumes at home, for the ready
q made models are so inexpensive and
so admirable in every way. And there
Is smartness about these shop bath
ing sults--a cunningness OF cut and
trimmlng-that Il is almost impossible
to reproduce in the home sewing
room.
Both boys and girls wear one-pieee,
skirtless suits now. In fact skirts
have almost been abandoned in bath
ing suits for any age. After u girl
grows too big TO wear the childish
one-piece suit she can have n slipon
tunic and trunk swimming suit: and
for Older women who wisely avoid the
straight, clinglng tunic style, there are
good looking suits with skirt at
tached at the belt line OF the one
piece waist-and-trunks garment. The
first requirement OF bathing suit
now is that Il shall not hamper free
movement In the water: the second
that II shall not pull down and drag
when wet; the third that II shall be
easy TO get out OF.
This last quality IL especially i'm.
portant in a child's bathing suit.

becoming-for a stroll on veranda or

furs for evening wear are the most

the sea, is quite cool enough to make
fur wrap feel very comfortable over

and these little white coats are the
prettiest things imaginable.
Shoulder Capes or Blended F'urs
The great call for summer peltry
however. seems 10 be for formal
dress-up occasions. The little fur wrap
or fur scarf is liked with a disiin-
guished frock and these formal fur
pieces are so dainty they have not an
alien suggestion with summery cos
tunes. Capes are usually OF two kinds
OF fur and are very short-no more
than shoulder capes that do not de-

though the collar may mount high at
the top. A typical summer fur cape
is pictured, dainty affair Of fitch
and lynx, worn with a black canton
crepe frock and a small hat trimmed
with leaves and grapes in black. gray
and green. The fur cape laps In front
and is held by single fastening. It
escapes the waistline-though 10 be

fashlonably low and It's lynx collar
