THE popularity Of the cape
suffers no wane with the
coming OF fall. You will be as
interested as / was to find very
attractive cape, left from the
spring stock, on sale for $33.
The garment Is of colored Scotch
plaid. in the loveliest of shades.
To slip on over a golf costume,
to wear in the automobile, or for
the young girl away at school,
the cape recommends itself, The
tuxedo front adds that long,
graceful line that every woman
so desires, while the circular full
ness. hanging in ripping folds,
follows the fall style. OF course
capes, SO II the garment fills a
need in your wardrobe, will be
glad to assist In the purchase.
HAVE you been in despair try
ing to keep baby in clean
and attractive rompers7 The ad-
vantage Of the romper needs no
sponsor. the only need Is to keep
the supply up and the buttons
on. Yesterday I discovered such
a dear of a suit, fashioned In
pink and white gingham, for 81.
For two or three year olds, pink
is lovesome color. The style
of the romper Is that cunning
Dutch one, with pockets that
stick oct at chubby sides and
whose boomers are bouffant and
full. II you are planning to go
away on a vacation, provide the
baby with supply of rompers,
and the laundry worries win be
lessened.

MONKEY fur is a favorite as
trimming for hats, dresses
and wraps. Yesterday I set out
to find a place where the popu-
lar fur could be purchased at a
reasonable figure. My search
was rewarded by finding a shop
where fur, about four inches in
width, and silky In quality Is
sold for $3.50 a yard. For an in
between frock monkey fur has
many possibilities as trimming,
and for wraps and capes and
odd scarfs the fur has a popular
place.
H
HAT shapes are individual. from
small twisted turbans, with
a veil as its only adornment. to
the shoulder-wide shape. runs
the style. And now that a few
cool days bring a warning Of the
approach Of autumn. the fall hat
is the thing. In black and all
colors. in velvet, duvetyn, felt,
taffeta and ribbon, are some
pleasing early models, that
small shop Is offering for $5 and
1915. Untrimmed felts, boyish
and useful; black velvet, with an
odd feather trimming on the side:
tan and brown velvet, the sea

shades of red. The late vacation

'Fis Day of Drapery
and Season OF the
Sleeveless Ssock=
Frocks
BY VIRGINIA KINDON.


~ RAPERIES quite often fore
gather In the front. The
~ gowns with drapery are
drawn tight about the figure,
mounting In the front and held
with an ornament Of jewels, or.
with a knot of the material.
TIL e RE is an effective side
drapery, too. that sometimes
falls in soft folds, forming an elon-
gated side drapery, at other times
lengthens itself into a train.
pERFECTLY sleeveless models
are the rule. say some, yet
within the same hour one sees and
approves of immense Aeeves that
trail their graceful lengths on the
floor. Some are so long and tight
that the process Of putting on and
taking off evolves itself into seri.
Gus difficulties.
ONE Of the neck lines most
favored is the deep U-shaped
neck line. In some cases 1t drops
almost to the waist line, being
filled in with folds of chiffon.
The Jenny sloping neck lire
captures many popular votes. So
does the off at the shoulder neck
line.
THE waistline knows nor recog.
nizes no law. II may be about
the hips; It may be closely con-
fined where nature placed It: or II
may all tbut disappear. The
chemise gown has competition
with the draped one. and double
girdles are new detail,
THE narrow string tie sash
vies IN popularity with the
fashionable girdie formed by a
bulky roll Of padded material.
Circular capes and wraps Of ankle
length hang IN tho same wardrobe
with hip length Jackets.

4 somewhat similar incident attracted
world wide Afternoon in 1895 when
Commander Ballington Booth. brother
Of Bromwcll and Eva. was publicly re-
linked by his father. General william
Booth. Darlington was sent from Eng
land to the United States in 1887. and
annoorcd to be conducting the affairs
of tho Army with unusual success, hut
his father insisted that the son was
irving 70 improve the social status Of
tbc Army by accepting financial sup.
nort from fashionable churches. and
stcrny and publicly did the general
reprimand the commander. The latter
was ordered to return to England. In
stead of doing so he resigned his COM
mand and devoted himself thereafter to
establishing the American Volunteers,
an organization similar to the SALIVA E
zion Army. Ballington was natu-
rallied American and received IL good
deal of sympathy from those who
thought that the action Of his father
was nccdlcSsly harsh and unfair.
Similarly will Commander Eva
Booth be sympathiHed with. especially
since it is announced that control of tho
y
be vested in Il board Of three commits.
sioncrs who have hitherto been subor
dinutc to Miss Booth. These commits
,oncrs will be directed from England.
That is to say. they will be directed by
General Bramwcll Booth.
The son seems not to be lacking In
the mastertulness which was the out T.
standing feature of his fathers char
actcr. William Booth had Il will of
iron. To hesitate in carrying out hi>
orders meant for the man of indecsion
an outpouring of wrath. which. while Z
was couchcd in language betitting his
high religious position. was not less
terrifying on that account. Having
been - long under this firm parental
influence. it was doubted when Bran
well Booth succeeded his father whether
lie would show sufficient tirmNess for The
position. 1t has been made abundantly
manifest that whatever the failings ui
the general may be, lack of resolution
is not one of them. The Booth hier-
nrchy is as strongly in control of the
Salvation Army ~ il was when the old
general was living.
