Frivolous Capes

The neat, but Inconsequential little shoulder cape has now become an article of clothing by Itself. It Is black or dark blue, and occasionally of a brighter color. Three deep ruffles of taffeta, which’ bring it Just over the shoulder, are its usual mode of being, bnt many Variations are exhibited. Sometimes the ruffles and upstanding raffle of a collar are divided .at the back, and in one case the little cape is made with diminutive siheves, also finished with a ruffle. The high, flaring collar of one cape Is made with a narrow, pointed yoke, and the frills, Instead of being of the taffeta, are of

dark blue net. Flippant as these ruffled capes may seem, their charm is undeniable.
