 Cape Theme is Important iu tho Mode
 The cape theme presents itself TO- peatedly. When Mrs. William II. Vanderbilt sailed on her recent hon. cymoon on tho Bermuda. she wore a suit that featured double tiers, cir cularly cut, that flarod from a fitted | silhouette. Chinchilla trimmed the ! sleeves by an elbow band and round cd the ncclline and edged tho dias- l onal closing of the jacket. The classic mink coat has become | the correct first fur coat 10 pur- chase. it would seem. I have counted them over in my minds eye this win ter until think lovely mink out strips several other furS combined. Sara Woodward wore one to lunch at Perrc's that has beautifully matched skins and an extremely lux urious and yet casual collar, One of Patou's velvet turbans with the big bow in the back was an excellent choice hat 10 wear with that type Of coat.
 The vogue for elegance in jeHeled decorations emphasized everywhere one looks.

 Mrs. Garbschs going away coa- tune was the new Riviera blue. softer and a little lighter than the .gponctratnG Lido blue of last year but moro colorful than the nautical blue. It had rich bandinGs in light fur and her hat of the same blue was small turban.
 Blues seem increasing both In their numbers of different tones and in their popularity. So many of the young debbies choose blue for some ot the dance frocks. Gatrinka Suy- dem and Susan Hart are couple that look very pretty in baby blue.
