crepes of all weaves and eponge,
as they have a way of hanging in
graceful folds and do not appear
bulky. At the Kafka Shop white
Canton crepe combines with
epongee in various colors to make
attractive cape costumes. On one
model the dress is cut on straight
lines and the upper portion is
white canton crepe, while the low
er is orchid eponge. On the white
bodice circles of the eponge are
appliqued and a girdle ties at a
low waistline.
The cape is the stylish note and
In this instance ii is rectangular
and hangs in points to the bottom
of the skirt. The cape carries out
the same contrast. being lined with
white canton crepe and quite a
novelty Is introduced in the up
standing collar, which Is com.

sewed together.
OBVIOUSLY, the flapper has
come to the fore in Washing
ton. The days have gone by when
the young girls main desire in life
was to mirror the older genera
ton by assuming the styles, lines
and whims Of Fashion adopted by
her mother.
Nowadays the young set have a
distinct place for themselves in
the book of fashions, and it is sat
isfying to see that youth remains
youth, and no more does daughter
lombard mothers wardrobe in
tent upon the desire TO look older.
Very often little novelties make
their way into the hearts of the
school girls and in adopting them
they make them a popular fad. So
- 80 "ith tiiC hNthtltS lIldl are
worn with the strictly tailored
waists and tweed suits. They
might be purchased. as the women's
neckwear departments in Washing
ton shops are showing them. Or
they may even have been .confis-

lection while he was out Of town.
At any rate, whether bought, Dor
rowed or appropriated, the tie fad
has been adopted as part of the
sport costume by the college girls.
THERE is, too. an underlying
motive. for in the selection of
these ties one may reveal Just
where her thoughts fly most. II
she cheers for Princeton, she will
choose an orange and black tie, II
the score stands in favor of Har.
ward it will be maroon and white
and II she is true to Georgetown
the tie she wears will be blue and
grey. Perhaps she may have an
extensive collection but at any rate
her intuition will lead her to always
wear the right tie at the right time.
SPEAKING of fads It would
almost seem that the men in
the family will have to get safety
locks for their closets. The femi-
nine invasion is becoming too pro-
nounced and what with the vogue
Of Knockers and neckties 1t is hard
to tell just how much the men will
find missing from their wardrobes.
Now 1t is the swagger stick that
Is the vogue. II owes its popular
ity. as do many other whims Of
Fashion, to the Conference that
took place in Washington, intro.
ducing into the mode the military
air. Army officers carry swagger
sticks, It is quoted. to keep their
hands out OF their pockets and
since everything swagger is con.
siidered fashionable this season the
swagger stick Is Of course the
thing.

smart note is added to the walk.
