STYLISH WRAPS FOR SUMMER
Garments for Evening Wear Frequently as Gorgeous as Gowns Which They Often Match. Evening wraps are often as gorgeous as the gowns which they not Infrequently match or are combined with. They are rarely, however, made of exactly the same material, although the fabric in the gown is occasionally used as lining for the’wrap. Renee has conceived an idea of bands of contrasting color which form kimono sleeves. For instance, a plain black satin has these bands in black and gold braid, of which latter material the lining and the big collar are made. Bernard, in a coral velvet worked with gold and lined with taffeta, to match, shows a big collar formed of a ruffle of the silk. This Is quite new. At Worth’s, evening as well as day wraps invariably take the form of capes. One of black velvet, with three capes, depends for its .novelty upon Its lining of pink satin worked all over Its surface' in criss-cross black streaks looking like lightning. Deuillet uses a beige wrap heavily worked with golden brown silk, the effect being luxurious and at the same time quite summery. Bands of the embroidery finish the* kimono sleeves, form the collar, and constitute a wide sash belt.
