WOMAN’S PAGE. }’ .COATS AND CAPES FOR WINTER. BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE. 1 b #ery much worn late last summer af some of the resorts, especially at Nawport, and very much displayed in thp shops at the present time are sfagey wool capes. 'his_type of cape seems to have bgen of the sort that the builders of clithes rejected. but which was later t@ be made chief stone in the corner. begin with it was sald that the clthesmakers deviseq them as a means of using up a quantity of wool jorsey that was no longer in demand for wool jersey sport suits. And frpm that very fact arose a prejudice against them among some of the buy- egof wraps for retail shops. 3But these easily worn capes pos- sassed a style and a usefulness that appealed to enough discriminating wpmen to bring them into the lime- light last August. Every other wom- al u saw motoring in the morning wport wore this type of wrap en the air was chill enough to make such protection necessary. w Cape Idea Still Good. JWith such patronage their popu- larity was assured for another sea- som. And. doubtless, this spring hun- dfgds will be sold where ten were last. summer. There are women, however, who find more to be desired in the wrap with sleeves than in the cape type of wrap. The cape idea fn wraps is certainly not done for. It is a matter of individual prefer- euce, not of fashion, with many w en. If you drive your own car will incline to the wrap with sleeves. ‘From the new offeri in_wraps you will have little difficulty in find- ing one that combines all the major advantages of the cape with the ad- vantages that sleeves possess. It will be many a year before women will be willing to go back to the old- time coat that went on with some- thing of a struggle, into which your fiock had to be folded and smoothed in order that it should not come out lgoking hopelessely —mussed and wilted. ‘The reason we have these easily worn garments today is because we ate quite willing to wear a wrap that hides such slenderness as we possess, and reduces us all to barrel propor- tigns. And the reason why you are willing to go on wearing this loose, fqrm-concealing_sort of wrap is be- cause your neighbor is willing. And we shall all go on being quite will- ing to wear capes and dolmans and péasant coats until some one breaks the spell. . Novelty Still Comes in Fabric. or the present Season the tubby ‘ap will surely prevail. We may de- velop considerably more shapeliness as—far as our frocks are concerned, b our wraps will still be ample, lodse and what we once would have called SIoppy- By way of variety, we do not chaage the essential line or silhouette of these wraps.
