The Square" Cape.
The new departure in evening wraps
is a cape which arrived with the title
of square" 1t is really not square
at all, but long, wide piece of ma
terial, two edges of which are caught
together in the middle to form loop.
A long tassel is added at the neck, one
at the point of the loop and one at
each corner. One of these extremely
simple but picturesque capes is made
by an American designer in green and
gold metal brocade
Another is of lovely shade of
hydrangea pink crepe Elizabeth, lined
with chiffon several shades deeper.
The possibilities for decorative effect,
utility and chic in these cape
squares" are almost without num-

A large assortment of beaded gowns
technically known as robes" land
tunics is presented by almost every
L-ess shop. They are said to be "flood-
ing the market, but they are far from
being drug. for beaded and pailletted
things We're never more popular. The
latest styles in these are done in ex-
cellent taste, lighter and more lacy
than the heavily beaded gowns of win
ter. and are dyed in many pretty and
delicate shades.
