CAPES.

Every day some new models of the lovely little short capes that are to be the fashion par excellence. Black and white are very often combined in the prettiest and smartest of these" little capes, as for instance in a short white satin cape veiled with accordionpleated black net with a line of jet beads marking eaoh fold-of the net. When tho is made with a yoke, a fashion that is very prevalent, this yoke is often of white velvet? or satin, cutin a rather fanciful shape and embroidered with jot sequiirt and beads; in move useful models the yoke is of black satin'embroidered in the. same way. A number'of dresses are still being made with 'Eton jdekecs",' ox>eu over a chemisette of white silk muslin or tulle drawn down tightly under the belt. A new style of revers'for these is a series of large square tabs, * put oh close' together from the bu6t round'the back of the neck. The tabs are of guipure laid on silk or velvet; sometimes the silk revers is iii'a single piece, and only the lace tabs "are divided.
