Dolman mantles of “Mnmespan blue” and burnt onion cloth.
Quaint Effects in Evening Wraps
Voluminous Capes and Dolmans Reappear on Fashion's Stage-Marvelous Color
Combinations in Evening Raiment.
By MARY DEAN.
In the workrooms of smart dress
makers just now there is much talk of
wraps. It is declared that if sleeves
continue to mount at the shoulders all
mufflings, whether for day or even
ing, must accommodate their lines to
the new? conditions. Already The
change has been widely exploited in
evening wraps, the majority of which
are in the form of entirely unfitted
capes, or dolman mantles. The high
shouldered and wired sleeves beneath
hold these out with a square effect.
The fulness of the cape, however, be
gins below the shoulder line. Vast
dolman sleeves are achieved in some
of these capes, and they accomplish
on good figures an effect of rare
grace. The skirts worn with the
capes also are generally long and
sweeping, which adds much to the
poetry of the loose muffling.
Some of the cape-cuts show in the
skirt position a lower flare, made by
a circular flounce, with trimmings to
hide the joining. Sometimes the
flounce takes a beetle dip at the back
of the cape, the front in this case be
ing very much shorter and the sides
rounding up gracefully. Trimming
for the shoulders of the capes takes
many forms, but since shoulders arc
higher the old diooping collars are
now rarely seen. Such new collars
as appear are generally out to em
phasize the square look, and drooping
shoulders are made to appear square
by clever padding.
Simplicity in Evening Capra.
The simplicity of the cloth evening
capes m many cases is marked, for
with the exception of handsome fur
collars of some sort, many models
are. untrimmed. In this case a rich
color is chosen which harmonizes
well with some rich skin, as pale blue
with chinchilla, burnt onion with
black bear, etc. This last shade has
been found so universally trying that
It is now rarely made up alone, and
rich white linings are found necessary
for further relief.
A stunning French cape of burnt
onion cloth with a white lining is
worn with a huge tippet of black
skunk. A cape in Montespan blue
cloth —which is an exquisitely delicate
shade of azure, has the baggy sleeves
gathered at the bottom into wide
chinchilla bands. Below these are
falls of blue chiffon and lace, the same
materials with deep chenille fringes
forming a becoming trimming for the
neck of the cape.
Burnt Onion and Emerald Green.
Among the fantasies are some very
odd effects, a combination of whit?
silk and emerald green velvet being
one shown In an opera mantle. This
cape Is shorter and rounder than the
other two described, which fell a trifle
•hort of three-quarter length. It is
cut with undulating edges, a velvet
band showing between two others of
the silk. Dolman sleeves are made by
the cut. and the round collar repeats
the trimming shown in the bottom of
the cape.
A second cape of even more dressi
ness is of white lace with medallions
In blue and pink applique and em
broidery, sel Vff by a square collar
and edge of Russian sable. The model
of this Is the ordinary simple cape ex
cept that the bottom hangs like a deep
flounce from a fitted yoke portion.
It ia surprising how many airy even
ing wraps are seen, for lace and gauzes
are now considered somewhat smarter
textures than plain cloth. But they
a/e often so blended with silk and vel
vet. and so decorated with bcada and
ed under-flounce—also pleated in the
embroidery that it la difficult to tell
what is th ■ ground material. For ex
ample, a rnagnlfP ent cloak designed for

a deep border of velvet embroidered |
with raised roses in silver tinsel.
Around the shoulders, and down the
front of the coat, went a stole collar !
with fringes of jet and the same sii- 1
ver roses. The effect was superb but ,
funereal and over-done.
Lacm and Gnnre Over Fur.
Fur is a frequent doubling for these
filmy cloaks, but they are generally
made warm with interlinings of
lamb's wool, which lends itself better
to lightness of fall. An all-fur even- !
ing wrap is generally in the shape of
a jacket of ermine or white rabbit, for
skins are too precious for the lavish
cut which the mantle requires. Still,
there are radiant little ermine and rab
bit capes which fall to the hips, and
one or two very elaborate dolmans in j
similar skins, and in caracul, have i
also been seen. Falls of lace and j
chiffon, tricked out with gemmed but- !
tons, make these somewhat serious gar
ments becoming at the throat and
front.
With velvet gowns, consisting of a
trained skirt and wadded coat, most
elaborate sets are seen. These are
especially affected by women who wish
to make the best of good figures, and
the very" fussiness of the sets makes it
possible to fashion them of fairly in
expensive materials. One set worn
at a charity fair given at a fashion
able hotel wa3 of white rabbit clipped
close to imitate ermine. The tiffpet,
which sunk into the waist with jet
buckles, was furnished with long stole
ends and completely edged wdth a quill
ing of white velvet ribbon. Black vel
vet somewhat wider, strung through
openings, was a further and most ef
fective garniture. The muff was im
mensely big. with falls of white chif
fon and quillings and lacings of black
and white velvet.
Fluffy Seek Sets.
Other sets on a similar order, or
with the neck piece in a small cravat
shape, are made from a variety of
woven materials, with chenille and
lace falls and velvet ribbons to
smarten them. Some of the textures
Imitate furs, such as the crushed ve
lours and be'ar-cloths. but others are
woolen materials, pure and simple,
and are none the less charming for
that. Y'elvet, cloth and zlbellne—es
pecially the novelty patterns of the
last—may be used for the sets, whose
chief requirements seem to be an ex
treme flxlness. This is accomplished
both by a fussy little cut and by or
nate methods of trimming.
Numberless are the means em
ployed by the smart woman of
small means to obtain effects of
least possible cost, so to her the
new’ Watteau train will prove “a
treasure.
The Wnttenn Train.
"The Watteau train,” writes a
French correspondent, “is Immensely
in vogue in Paris, for through the
detachable charmer one can turn a
street skirt any time into an evening
frock. Suppose madame's skirt is of
old-red cloth, which Is a most fash
ionable color. She buys some lengths
more than are required for the actual
skirt, which is cut around, with no ex
aggerated fall at ‘any point. The train
Is made separately and lined through
out, but It may be attached at the
waist or sweep from under one of the
flounces at the bottom of Hie skirt
proper. One skirt model which has a
fan of pleats at the buck has a tram
middle of the back—to be tucked un
der the skirt when needed.
“Any Jupe,” concludes this authori
ty. "may have an all-round exten
sion, following the lines of galloons
u<-d, braids, embroideries, etc,, and
put on at the region of the lower trim
ming."

importance of the evening hat, which
Importance is certainly demonstrated
here by the splendid chapeaux worn,
particularly about the fine hotels. These
hats accompany gowns of quite a low
decoll'etage, and the wide plumes of
the male ostrich accomplish the most
successful trimmings. Nothing more
beautiful than these soft feathers could
be imagined, and the most delicate
blues and yellows of many feathers
will be combined with the fashionable
faded rose.
This sentimental flower is by no
means cheap despite its crushed and
damaged look. It is, in fact, rather a
dear possession, as the correct degree
of pensiveness, if one may use the
phrase, can only be accomplished by
the most high-priced art. Shown in
slightly discolored whites and faded
pinks these strange and charming
blooms have an almost human qual
ity. "They are like Duse!” somebody
suggests—and straightway you see
tfie likeness to broken and poetic
beauty.
Cockcd-lv Jauntlneiß.
The shape of the smart evening hat
runs to a cocked-up jauntiness, for
scarcely a single chapeau is seen that
does not roll up one side or the other.
Such velvet models as do not show
the ostrich feathers may be decked
with a great Paradise bird, whose
richly tinted head and brilliant tail
seem very dashing. The hat is posed
rather ofT than over the face, the fall
of the feathers replacing undertrim
ming and softening the hard brims.
But do not be misled by the phrase-*
evening hat. It means only something
worn with a smart light gown, an
elaborate headpiece in which to dine
and visit, that may go to the theater
and opera and concert doors and no
further. For heads sparsely thatched,
to which the elaborate coiffure of the
day is impossible, a fine evening hat
is a great boon.
DAZZLING BUCKLES
ON WINTER GIRDLES
The hallmark of the smart bodice
or coat, whether fur or cloth, Is the
buckle which adorns it. The Immense
vogue of rosettes, high girdles, direc
tolre hats and fancy shoes has brought
with It an unprecedented use of buck
les, from the tiniest clasp to huge plas
trons of filigree and enamel which
nearly encircle the waist. Truly won
derful In brilliancy and beauty of de
sign is the endless variety of this tell
ing finish to a woman's get-up. Cut
steel and Jet buckles are In high favor,
while the white metal Is delicately
tinted In all the soft shades. Metal
or leather buckles are set off by mar
quis stones, which show the same col*
or as the belt or ribbon. Rhinestones,
emeralds and rubies are employed In
profusion as studding for miniature
reproductions of animals, and tiny
chips, In green, purple, red, blue and
yellow sprinkle wide band-buckles of
Egyptian filigree. The girl who Is for
tunate enough to have an old cameo,
large or small, cannot use It to better
advantage than as the center of a
buckle showing the wing design. Mo
saics are also employed In the same
wag.
We# buckles of cut steel or rhine

a clasp built of six large semi-globes
of carved metal joined by links and
having a heavy chain dangling from
the prong. One handsome clasp
showed curved dull gold buttons the
size of a half-dollar, each set off by
three eyes of pale green stones, while
from the prong chain hung a cross
built of eight or nine large square
green stones. Another clasp with
dangling chain joined the handle of
two little tortoise shell fans sur

French-grey silver.
In plain flat gold a buckle of Colo

Children's heads In silver are em

tures of a little girl smiling through
grandmother's spectacles, peered from
the depths of a poke bonnet. Another
showed a rougish baby's face with
tousled hair.
A jeweled buckle will transform an
otherwise simple dress. Peacocks
have their bodies studded with rhine
stones and the fan-shaped tails picked
out by rhinestones and emeralds.
Crab or centipede designs are most
effective. Each of their many legs is
a line of rhinestones and the bodies
are closely studded with glittering
brilliants.
The horsewoman can have her gold
buckle a combination of horse shoe
and nails, and the girl who has a
fancy for her monogiUm on all her
possessions can have an odd though
smart buckle showing her initials in
Chinese characters.
ANGORA RAIMENT
THE ATHLETIC FAD
The expenditure of a Christmas
check which some kindly Santa Claus
has slipped into the stocking is always
a pleasant task, no matter what the
age of the recipient. It generally im
plies the possession of some coveted
luxury just beyond one’s dress allow
ance.
Every year brings out some fad for
the man or woman of athletic tastes,
and here a Christmas check of almost
any size may be put to satisfactory
use. The fancy of the moment among
athletes and motorists is the Angora
garment, which, while not new, has
been developed upon novel lines and
with most satisfactory results.
A vest or jacket composed entirely
of Angora would be worth Its weight
In gold, for the Angora goat from
which this precious wool is obtained
has become more scarce rather than
more general. But by means of anew
process discovered and protected by
an obscure firm in Vienna, the Ango
ra is combined with a peculiar quality
of silky wool resulting in a material
of great firmness, strength, warmth
and softness. This factory was dis
covered by a merchant who has stores
in New York and Philadelphia, and his
buyers immediately captured the entire
output and then set out to establish a
vogue for Angora raiment, with the
result that it has become the approved
apparel for all sorts of outdoor exer
cises, including golf, horseback, shoot
ing and motoring, and is being imitat
ed in a dozen styles.
The most common garment is the
sleevesless vest which can be secured
in single or double-breasted fashion, in
gray, tan and a peculiar mixture of red
Pelerine and muff of clipped white
rabbit skin.
and black bound with silk. The color
combinations are peculiar. For in
stance, the back and sides of the
garment will be of plain tan and the
front show good sized diamonds in
tan and brown. If a Jacket Instead of
a vest is shown, the sleeves will be
of the plain tan to match the back
and sides. These jackets are less bulky
than sweaters or knitted vests and lit
the figure like a glove.
Leggins in Angora are extremely
popular with young women who skate
or ride horseback in winter, while for
the motorist there comes an ideally
soft cap which fits like a visor, with a
flap which turns up to admit goggles.
This cap protects not only the head
but the throat and ears.
Angora gloves are also shown but
they are less popular with athletic
folk than mittens with half-fingers,
which can be slipped over kid glovrs,
giving the wearer free use of his
hands. These cost $2.00.
The weave used in this raiment Is
more firm than that which Is shown
In the little fluffy caps in pure white
which are offered for babies. In this
new form Angora clearly distances
any recent offerings for athletic wear,
and it commands the high price which
Is the penalty of popularity. An An
gora vest will coot sl6. while one
made from ordinary yarn of a good
quality can be bought for $3.50.
Another article of raiment extreme
ly popular with motorists Is the long
neck scarf In shape not unlike that
worn by our great grandfathers.
These scarfs are not knitted or cro
cheted but are patterned from a non
shrlnkable flannel of silky softness.
They come In grey and tan and can
be wound round and round the throat
and still fall almost to the bottom of
a motoring coat.

Robes and Gowns fop Indoor Wear
New Eiderdown Robes Are More Shapely Than Ever Before—Many Dainty
Modes of Trimming.
The building of house gowns is an
art in itself. The English and French
modistes excel in designing tea
gowns, but the American dressmakers
have no equals in building up smart
little house frocks which are a cross
between the teagown and the tailored
effects used for street W’ear. And it
has also been left for the American
woman to so beautify an eiderdown
robe as to make it desirable for her
sister who likes to combine comfort
and warmth with tidiness.
The new lounging robes In eider
down are quite generally trimmed and
cut in elaborate fashion. The backs
are fitted and have pleats inserted in
the middle artd side seams below the
waist-line to give fulness to the skirt.
The fronts are loose, but held in place
'by elaborate cords or girdles. Sleeves
are more dressy than they were a
year or so back and suggestions of
yokes and vests are quite common.
Pink Eiderdown in Vogne.
A very pretty design built on these
general lines is of pink eiderdown
with a short vest effect in the front
set off by a big rolling collar, edged
with a shell-shaped silk braid in self
tone outlined by lattice work of black
velvet ribbon. The full puff sleeves
have a simple fitted cuff trimmed with
the velvet ribbon and joined to the
puff with the self-tone braid. The vest
shows a lattice work of the velvet
ribbon and is finished with long loops
and ends of pink ribbon.
A well-fitted eiderdown robe of
pure white' has a very dainty finish in
the form of sleeve ruffles in accor
dion pleated chiffon shading from
white to light blue. The same chif
fon falls from the throat to the hem
in an elaborate jabot. It is joined at
the waist with a cord interwoven of
blue and white silk.
Fit for a princess is the eiderdown
set off by the gold embroidery and the
new tulle lace etched with gold
threads. The neck is low and finished
with a deep rolling collar embroidered
in gold and edged with tulle lace.
Wide 'bell-shaped sleeves are embroid
ered almost to the elbow In gold and
filled in with lace. The cord and tas
sel are of white and gold silk.
Shirred Ribbon for Trimming.
Shirred ribbon Is extremely popular
for trimming eiderdown garments and
is often edged on either side
by narrow ribboft showing Dres
den pattern or tiny hand-embroidered
flowers.
These eiderdown robes are for bed
room use exclusively, but in the aver
age American house the temperature
is too high to make them desirable
except in extreme weather, and the
negligee which finds most favor is
composed of a lighter fabric, particu
larly In the popular crepe de chine
weaves. This fabric carries an espe
cial air of leisure an luxury, and in

ribbon and lace in alternate strips. A
beautiful robe in cream colored crepe
de chine was built from strips of
point de Paris edged on either side
with liberty taffeta ribbon, which in
turn was finished with strips of the
crepe de chine run in pin tucks. These
strips ended In points which fell over
‘a very closely gathered flounce of
deep point de Paris. The robe had a
slight train and a loke, hidden by a
deep sailor collar edged with the lace
and fastened in the front with long
loops of ribbon.
The Keck Invariably Lott Cat.
In the dainty crepe robes the neck
is almost invari'ably cut low either V
shape, square or round. Cascades of
lace in the form of elongated
jabots finish most of the crepe
gowns.
From the crepe negligee 1t is merely
a step to the more elaborate tea
gown, and here fancy runs riot and
price has no limit. One of the most
striking characteristics of the teagown
of the hour is a coat effect. Avery
beautiful model shows a loose fitting
teagown of very soft pink silk trim

self-tone chiffon. Over this falls a
square, sieveless cefcit, suggesting in
shape the old-fashioned combing

exquisitely painted in wild roses of
the most delicate pink.
More eccentric and distinctly Paris
ian in Its effect is a combination of
white framboise crepe and chiffon
with jacqueminot red velvet. The
skirt and blouse 'are of white chiffon
with nun’s tucks alternating with
bands of the white crepe, which is a
form of Shantung silk. Over this is
a coat of the crepe built below the
waist-line in graduated pleats and
falling over the blouse of the teagown
in bolero effect. The coin is edged
with bands of jacqueminot velvet and

Gown for a Blonde .
A demure little blonde has ordered
a ravishing teagown built entirely of
dotted net over white silk. The robo
proper is bloused at the waist by a
girdle formed from three pointed
bands in a dead rose tint. The sleeves
are shirred flatly into the blouse and
finished with two ruffles of the net
edged with guipure lace, and over this
robe is worn a bolero of guipure
forming a V-shape neck finished with
flowers made of chiffon and the rose
colored velvet ribbon.
Messaline is one of the most popu
lar fabrics for elaborate teagowns and
is particularly effective when veiled
with lace. A princess model in whits
messaline is finished with a girdle of
seed pearls. The elbow sleeves are of
perles of tulle lace finished with tiny
shirred messaline with angel-wing dra
tassels of silk and pearl beads. Over
the shoulders falls a cape of the lace
with long stole ends, the pattern pick
ed out In small pearl beads.
A Dainty Jacket.
Many women prefer a tea-jacket
with a soft, lightweight skirt, and
some beautiful models in this little
garment are offered. A dainty jacket,
exceedingly comfortable yet very
smart, is built on a foundation of paie
blue silk hidden iby a blouse drapery
of pale blue repousse all-over. The
pouch sleeves are built simply from
the silk covered with net. and a smart
touch is given to the jacket by a deep
shawl collar of pale blue panne vel
vet, slashed to show an under-flounce
of edging to match the all-over lace.
The narrow corselet of the panne vel
vet is finished off around the bottom
with a flounce of the lace of simulate
a peplum.
The really smart American girl who
goes in for athletics scorns teagowns
and considers an eiderdown robe only
as an esesntial accessory for the daily
bath. She is apt to have extremely
trim house dresses suggesting tailored
lines. Shirtwaist suits in the non
shrinkable flannels or the dainty mix
tures of silk and wool, are her de
light. particularly the new plaids.
With these she wears a tailored stock
or linen collar with a tie that tones
into the colors of the plaid. Thus
clad she presents an extremely trim
and energetic appearance at the fam
ily breakfast table. It is a notable
fact, however, that the average man
