Capes and More Capes

Designers are still turning out wraps that are the result of combining two distinctly different styles_ into one garment. This is an idea carried over from winter Into spring wraps, and so long as it holds there is no chance of exhausting the endless variety of cape-coats, cape-dolmans and all other sorts of capes that make a refreshing digression from coats. There is variety enough to suit the taste of every individual in wraps as in all other spring clothes, and nearly all of them are. graceful and practical. In the picture a cape appears, gathered to a short plain yoke and having small, set-in sleeves, or openings for the arms, to distinguish it from a cape unalloyed with any other wrap. It has a flat, hood effect at the back, with

a little braid trimining and a long tassel that points with pride to its value as h finish. This cape is narrowed at the bottom by folding it into a box plait, fastened down with bone buttons; this is in keeping with the narrow skirts of this season. The other wrap pictured is much like a dolman. Small cloth-covered buttons and large fancy ones are cleverly- placed on it, for the smaller ones appear to fasten down box plaits that form a square yoke. This is one of a few models that are shorter in the back than in front. The collar and sleeve openings are faced with a heavy weave in silk in a contrasting color. Duvetyn and velours in navy and black, with facings in beige silk, make the handsomest of these wraps.
