quantities of material are pressed Into the service of a single cloak The Idea of using fragile mate rIJs for theatre wraps Is not quite new because some of the most attractive opera wraps of last season were fash fashioned fashioned from long lengths of crepe and of ot chiffon but the cloaks of the hour are of another genre they are longer and more voluminous and they give the Impression of hiding the figure while in reality they reveal It In a most subtle attractive way The are arenow arenow arenow now devoted to the loose and semi loose wrap but always it I must be made of a material
