NEW YORK. June IA
There ought to be a law!
Summer evenings are too short!
They're the longest of the year,
to be sure. But still too short
for all the grand things folks
can think of to do in the sum.
mertime. Too shortsto display
all the good-looking evening
fashions that have been created
for summer.
And of which there's none
better looking than the short
little velvet or velveteen wrap
you're seeing everywhere fash
iopable women and girls go.
Long skirts - short wraps.
That's the way it goes. When
a skirt is softly full, as so
many of them are, folks don't
want a long wrap ballooning
out over it.
Much smarter to hug it
snugly round your hips or
waist-and let the long flowing
lines of the skirt ripple and
swing and flutter.
The Washington times., 1930-06-14
Cape Wrap
Some Wraps Fitted


All these wraps are short.
And some are even shorter.
Some reach to the hips; others
only to the, waiStline.
Some Of them-like the one
shown in the sketch at the left
are much like the jacket that
was fashionable in Queen Vic
toria's day. Fitted at the waist
and flaring over the hips. With
a short capelet.
Only the one Queen Victoria
wore had wide lace on the edge
of the cape and fastened
straight down the front with
taSSelS.
These short summer evening
wraps rate abNRt $3.50 between
velveteen and transparent vel
vet. Smart young things like
them to be of velveteen. The
dignity of maturer years likes
transparent velvet.
Some Very Plain
Some are very simple. Quite
unadorned. Just a mere wiSp Of
velvet crushed into an effective
drape. Like the one Sketched
at the right. This ties at the
The Washington times., 1930-06-14

waistline and the bow ends fall
down to become part of the de-
sign.
Some Of them have sleeves
and some don't. But those that
don't usually have capes deep
enough to take the place Of a
sleeve. Like the one sketched
at the center.
For Sports Wear, Too
The younger crowd-always
original and inventive-has
adopted some of. these wraps
for sports wear, too. Particu-
larly the little fitted wrap with
the capelet when it's
made of velveteen.
Thus they make one expendi-
ture do double duty-and look
verys smart and up-to-the-min-
ute in the bargain!

For Smart
Outfits
BY WILMA LA VILE.


Summer costumes must match
their accessories just as care
fully as winter costumes, for
after all they are not as rich
or elegant and they must
therefore be smart in every
detail.
Shoes are more important
than almost any other acceS-
sorry in summer, not only be-
cause they are still quite
obvious with the skirts of to-
day.. but also because they are
lighter and more noticeable in
summer, so it is very very i'm
portant to choose not only
good looking shoes, but the
exactly right shoe for each
frock or suit.
We wear the same type shoe
in Washington for spectator
sports, for the country club
or for general day time use
in town. This makes the
problem easier and if we choose
our shoes with care. we can
make one pair go with many
things. AS you noticed, brown
and white are the most popular,
though black and white are
chosen by a great many very
smart women.
They may be of linen or
leather and they are moder-
ately simple. using only tips,
heels and straps of leather for
decoration. Natural linen with
brown is a good combination or
white linen with brown or
black. The same type is often
made of white buckskin or
antelope and is extremely good
looking. Pumps. oxfordS and
straps are also worn in these
types though pumps seem to be
by far the most popular. The
heels are medium or high,
usually shaped very slightly or
straight. French women pre-
fer high heels though most
Americans wear the medium
straight heel.
Afternoon shoes are very
lovely but are rather simple so
that they will not detract from
the interest that should be cen
tered in the frocks they are
worn with, such as floWered
chiffons or organdies They, of
course, practically always have
high heels and they may be
pumps or strap shoes. Linen
is perhaps the newest and
smarteSt fabric for them and
it usually matches or harmon
ICES with the frock. White
linen may be tinted any color
or natural colored linen is
smart with many things. Shan
tung or kid is made up in the
same types though linen seems
more popular now. They may
be embroidered.
The story of evening shoes is
about the same as it was in the
winter, with satin and sink
crepe, also tinted, to match or
contrast with the gown. 1t is
even permissible to wear your
afternoon shoes of linen or kid
with informal evening gowns
such as printed chiffonS with
cape sleeves.
