Show STYLES IN CAPtS - .,. i y PEASANT DESIGN MAY BE SAID TO HAVE PREFERENCE. In All Sorts of Materials It Has Proved Popular, and Undoubtedly Has Come to Stay Cape for Motoring. -" Tho Victorian capes which wcrr ushered In last February with 1810 nnd 1870 hatH to match, did not huc-coed, huc-coed, but tho Victorian shoulder senrf that wide piece of fur which looked like n postilion collar slipped to the top of thu arms, litis been entirely successful. But tho pensant cape Iiiih outdone nil others. It may be short or long, of Open-Air Dinner Cape tulle nnd ermine, or of black satin fncJd with blue, with u hood that stretches across the shoulders built of tho two colors. Wherever possible, the dresstnnlccrH use a contrasting color us u lining, ST even If the material Is as unsubstantial as tulle. A gathered cape of gray chiffon Is lined with horizon blue fur the horizon hori-zon Is blue In France, although It Is, as a rule, gray In America. , Iridescent taffeta, lined with tulle or chiffon, Is used for afternoon capes In resorts, at tho casinos, country clubs and polo ileitis. For motoring, there Is the Italian cape of dark blue cloth lined with the red of our Hag In taffeta or satin. There tire also actual Red Riding Hood capes worn by the younger set, the pointed hoods bunging between tho shoulder blades. Tripping around through the t .'sorts, one Is convinced that the capo has forged Its way to a position nbovo the emit. True, the motorcoat Is still desirable de-sirable and no one neglects It, but the cape Is tho fashionable garment. The original devices that are worked out In It gives It a wldo appeal to tho restless rest-less womnn who Insists upon now things, evens though sho has no old ones. In the evening, to wcur with white satin gowns, thcro nro wraps of red chiffon lined with blue chiffon, with hood enpes almost covarcd with bands of white marabou. At dinner parties In tho open, the women keep these cupes on during the evening, and they make a very attractive setting for a low gown nnd a bare hend. By tho wuy, tho continued talk oi the revival of first empire stylos Is actually changing the coiffure before there 1b n strong evidence of the .Tosc- phluc frock Itself. Tho hair Is worn high In tho middle of the head, und often thcro is no formed knot, simply n bunch of small, loose curls held at thu base by two ornamental combs, preferably Jot.
