Beauty Without Charm-What Does 1t Really Bring You
Two Models Emphasizing the Cape Motif
Whether on Dress or Coat the
Cape Is Again High
In Favor.
BY Marie MarOt


THE little eapelets that were so
popular in the nineties are be-
ing revived-it has taken Just
a few fashion showings to remove
them from quaintness and old
fashioned style to up-to-date smart
ness.
The accompanying sketch fea-
lures two models employing this
presently popular cape motif.
The cape coat to the left stresses
off-the-shoulder fur treatment
Gray fox appears on il midway be-
tween the neckline and cape edge.
1t adapts itself to all manner of
varied treatment in tying; it may
be worn loosely tied. high on one
shoulder and loose on the other
side, or more securely fastened.
The gray Of the fox is shown to
excellent advantage against the
dark blue of the kasha-
These cape scarves are highly
favored at the moment. There are
those who criticize their tendency
to emphasize broad shoulders
which Is really not a criticism con-
sistent with the styles of the pres
ent day which seem to run to
width above slenderizing at the
hips.
Worn with this cape-coat Is a
small blue cloche faced with rose
gray.
Equally interesting is the
cape modification employed in the
evening wrap shown to the right.
1t is fashioned Of delightfully."- soft
chiffon velvet. The cape fullness
starts low on the shoulders and
converges at a low line in the cen
ter back.
Many Of the latest wraps are
being made with furless collars
fur not appearing at all. or being
used to trim loose-flowing sleeves.
These fur collars are Of the stand
up variety which display garment
Innings. In some cases they grow
into long arve that can be
draped gracefully about the
shoulders.
