WHEN a long Journoy is to bo undertaken, un-dertaken, or whero thero Is a prospect of globe-trotting nhend, thero 1b ono garment that may bo depended upon for comfort and for stylo; it is tho trnvolor's capo." It has taken tho placo of tbo old-fashioned shawl and is tho samo rellablo companion which does duty on all sorts of occasions occa-sions and helps out in all sorts of omergencles. Tlieso capes and combinations of capos with other garments havo been designed In several ways. When mado of u material of medium weight tho capo is often part of a loose-fitting coat, and is detachable and fastened to tho undergarment at tho collar. In heavier fabrics tho capo Is cut in ono with tho coat and Is shorter, extending extend-ing about to tho knoos. Or capo fronts of tho samo length as the coat aro w3tc"dda" in ut Uio siuo seams and aro shaped to accommodato themselves to tho shanp of tho coat. This special variety Is Intended for tho sea trip more particularly. Tho convenience of a capo like that shown in tho picture is evident. It mny bo worn over tho coat-suit or as an extra garment over a sbparato coat, or without any other wrap un-dor un-dor it, depending upon tho amount of protection tho wearer needs. It is easily kept presontable and is never out of fashion. Such garments aro mado of tho best grado of fabrics used for outer wrapa and mado in tho most substantial manner, as they aro llkoly to bo subject to rough wear. Tho eapo illustrated is mado of bluo broadcloth In tho brightest of navy bluo and Is trimmed with Hat whlto braid. Black braid Is a wiser cholco for a long Journoy, because it doesn't reulro cleaning very often. A heavy quality of cloth 1b chosen, and la shrunk before tho capo Is cut. Besides broadcloth thero aro other sorvlceablo( cloths that answer tho purpose for a! traveling cape, but none qulto as good looking. Cravanetto nnd tho several waterproofed fabrics, like sergo and cheviot, aro to bo considered, and thq choico governed by tho needs, or tasto of tho Individual. Tho broadcloth capo Is lined with a substantial woolen fabric, as a rulq In a plain color or In dark plaid. Largo bono buttons and strong buttonholes, provide tho fastening, nnd a part of tbo meager decoration which Is por-mlsslblo por-mlsslblo in tho traveler's capo. A now field for usefulness for tho capo has been developed since thojvu tomobllo has become a part of Uo paraphernalia of life. 'It is tho extra garment to bo taken along and to bo rolled upon to meet weather changes. It and the extra veil might bo included In the long list of accessories which go with tho machine. For tho capo fits all figures and Is as much a family fam-ily affair as tho old-tlmo shawl. In timo tho owner becomes attached to a cape, as to a rellablo friend. There aro very few among tho shortlived garments of today which can ever possess tho charm of association posBiblo to a capo. When it 1b made all this is to bo con sidered. It must bo ample, long enough to almoBt cover tho llgure, well put together, and always in a stablo color. Strong nnd dark blues have proved themselves tho best cholco, JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
