CAPE COAT IS USEFUL

Every once in a while, among its furtrimmed rivals, a cape-coat reminds us that it is possible to be smartly ccated and dispense with furs. One of them is • shown here with a cape that is abbreviated so that it does not. extend across the back, but gives all the impression 1 of a cape just the same. It< is of wool velours and its ornamentation is confined to machine stitching and buttons. Such a coat is useful for all-round wear. Separate furs may be worn with it when they, are needed, and the cape gives it a distinctive military air, adding immensely to its smartness.
