Fall Cloaks Have Flowing Lines

The cape, pure and simple, having had its day of high favor, must pass on to make place for cloaks and coats more novel. But the cape is graceful and practical; a garment that women love to wvar and manufactur- . ers have-'capitalizefi their fondness for it by turning out new garments that preserve its flowing lines.. These new styles, at first glance, are very capelike. They are long and aipple, with sleeves that are merely continuations of drapery. Their collars are managed In a variety of clever ways, and some‘of them- are collarless, while others are so amply supplied with thisaccessory that it 'becomes the dominant feature of their style. The cape, unmodified, is never wholly absent, and is represented this season in handsome evening wraps of silk. Also there ape fur capes that are guiltless of sleeves, that will play their usual part in adding to the richness of fall ahd winter costumes, and the owner of a fine cloth cape need not feel that it is antiquated. But the purchaser of a new cloak will be likely to buy something similar to the very attractive garment shown in the picture in which a full, capelike body is set on to a plain, deep yoke. The coat hangs straight in the back and is weighted with rows of covered buttons that make an excel-

lent ornament. They are used to finish the deep, turned-back cuffs and the front of the coat, their neat precision of arrangement lending the charm of fine tailoring, to this tasteful model. In place of a collar a satin scarf with fringed ends makes protection for the neck when it is needed. . Soft wool velours, pile fabrics, broadcloth and heavy woolens in new weaves are used for making the new cloaks for practical wear. The tendency in weaving is toward more complicated cloths than were made in war times. For evening satin and vel< vev are unrivaled, but there are attractive taffeta wraps that must not be overlooked.
