SEASONABLE FROCKS.

Last season every frock had its little coatee. This season it has a cape of some kind. One cape may be waist-length, another no more than a little berthe, but both are beautifully fitted round the shoulders. One fastens down each side of the front of the frock with a row of buttons. A dress with a lancer front, for instance, has two rows of buttons from shoulders to waist, and the cape is attached to the three top buttons on each side. Another way of holding the cape is by means of a scarf which is attached to the back, slipped round the neck, passed through two slots near the front, and tied in a bow under the chin. As an alternative, the scarf may be drawn down the front of the dress to make a waistcoat effect, and pulled through the belt to keep it trim. When the sleeves are made with little epaulettes, a cape so small that it is only a tippet is worn. This allows the edges of the epaulettes to show and gives a two-tiered sleeve effect. Another cape is made like a yoke, with a point over each shoulder, one at the back and one in front, those at the back and front being buttoned down to keep the cape in place. This capelet looks very charming, in silk pique or white cloth, on a dark frock and is useful also in the same material as the frock.
