WRAPS FOR SUMMER WEAR

Combinations of Gay Colors Mark These Beautiful, If Superfluous, Hot Weather Garments. The summer dress-up wraps are as frothy and superfluous as a dream. Fancy a coat of tulle, a bit of lace and a few pearl beads. Yet it is “done.” A beautiful imported wrap has a cape of rose-colored silk from which fall tiers upon tiers of lace, mounted over rose chiffon. By the way, do you know that chiffon is a good wearable fabric and is used now for linings of silk coats —aye, and for cloth ones, too! Time was when dressy wraps were only for evening, but the afternoon dances permit more elaborate costumes. Hence the appearance of the expensive cloak of lace. One of Caillot’s loveliest models is a long coat of batiste, embroidered to the guards and beautiful beyond words and type and printer’s ink. It was to be worn with a beige-colored taffeta with sleeves of ecru lace. Tres splendide, yes? We hazard the opinion that it was and is.
