RETURN OF THE GOLF CAPE

Wrap That Closely Resembles Garment of Twenty Years Ago Adopted as Substitute for Sweater. Smart women tave adopted the circular cape with straps across the front of the body, as a substitute for the sweater. These wraps resemble the golf capes of 20 years ago. One of the smart French designs is modeled exactly after the Scotch garment. The dominant idea in the new capes is to have the fullness swing away from the shoulders at the same time that the garment is held tightly in place by two broad straps that are placed beneath the shoulders, cross over the chest, pass around the waist in the back and tie in the front. These capes have brilliant linings in figured designs. The printed Futurist crepes are better here than Broad, colored stripes in crepe, silk or cotton are also used. Even the jackets of summer suits are now lined with gay-colored linen.
