CAPES AND CAPE WRAPS; " HAT BRIMS ARE WIDENING On |uny a sunny day gentle spring suddenly turns the cold Shoulder to confiding mortals. But we have long ago learned to expect it, and thereby hangs the tale of wraps for spring. Every year we must prepare ourselves for emergencies of chilly weather that drops in on a winterweary world Just when the calendar Is holding out every promise of balmy days. Since we must have wraps we demand that they Interpret spring and be smart and even swagger. After a review of the styles It is hat brims grow wider; for tlie short skirt Is not a natural ally of picturesque hats. Skirts are longer and brims are widening. Encouraged by the mounting summer sun there is no telling Just how far they will go, but they will not eclipse the small hat It rules a realm of Its own and is secure in it The group of new millinery shown here leads olt with a small tailored hat having an upturned brim, faced with tucked taffeta and trimmed with two quills thrust through the silk. It evident that the smart set among Is covered with a highly lustrous mil HUES OF RA Wave of Color Featurt of Season's Wearing Apparel. ' i . . . . •ufab CisU, Wash Drum, aipyssfr Mediums for Exploitation wt the Gayest Shades. wave of color surges everywhere In fashions, until it seems aa if we must almost have reached the high tid«», says a fashion authority. While even the tailored suit and street coats have their share of brilliant shades in tfte way of trimmings, wash dresses and blouses are wonderful mediums for exploiting the hues of the rainbow. Here the designer has great latitude in the way of background to offset her art work. The white blouse alone Is capable of any amount of amplification through gay trimmings cleverly applied. The past two years have seen marvelous development in the colorings brought out in wash fabrics. In these alone there is a multitude of variations in art tones.- There ai« brilliant reds, all the tones seen in the flames of a wood flrev and browns, yellows and blues without number. The wonderful embroideries made prominent through the Russian vogue made ] their first appearance on blouses. Here i we see the strong peasant colors which | are most effective on a background of coarse linen, although they are used on silks ayd even on thinner fabrics. In the form of blouses we have almost as much variety as there Is in color. A very large proportion of the new blouses are Russian. The Japanese feeling is^not lacking, for those with kimono sleeves In flowing style are easily traced to the land of the cherry blossom. There is a kinship between all articles of dress, so we see separate blouses gathered to a band which comes about the hips of the wearer, the blouse Itself falling in loose folds above this band. These are very like the coats of many of the new suits. These hip bands, to which the lower edge of the blouse is gathered, are a means of introducing a great deal of needlework. The art of all nations has been lavishly drawn upon to furnish patterns from which needle* women nay copy. For instance, one such band Is worked with Egyptian figures, another in Chinese landscapes. Necklines and sleeves remain much WORN WITH TUXEDO SWEATER t, ftMk? CHIFFON FOR KIDDIE'S FROCK LOi.o TWEED CAPE AND DRESSY WRAP Straps tsmade up of capes or of wraps that look like capes. Coats almost |sse their identity In aping the favor- He of fashion. The picture discloses an aristocratic leader, in a long tweed cape for general wear. It is Jlaln, carefully shaped and has a particularly becoming high collar. Slits •t each side, that release the arms, are faced by bands of the material flDd eight large buttons, extending from the collar to the waistline protide for the fastening. This cape la llnery fabric and is one of the moat successful of the sprfng's tailored models. Next to it appears a pretty brimmed hat in white with a silk crown and braid brim. It is finished with a wide collar of ribbon, made by weaving two narrow ribbons together. A handsome, early arrival among the new wide-brimmed hats, as plotured, is covered with black taffeta and faced with braid. A wreath of simulated foliage made of taffeta folds is a clever bit of artistry that dtah A sport skirt of gray, rose and white striped covert, fringed at the lower edge, and worn with a gray allk tuxedo sweater and a smart little ribbon hat, completes this good looking outfit. the same; the chief change is In the arrangement at the bottom of th£ blouse and in the colors a*^l trim* mlngs. t * GROUPOFWEW MILLINERY a- V - CREPE DE CHINE BLOOMERS' Petal Points Instead of Petticoats^ Latest in Underthinge for Milady's Wear. Petal points instead of petticoats. That is the latest translation In underthings developed In the showings. Paris Is credited with having originated the idea, which is carried out by means of a crepe de chine bloomer. The garment Is quite short and without elastic at the knee. Stitched on at a point a little below the waist line, are petal points of georgette. In matching or contrasting colors. These points fall gracefully below the hem of the bloomer and serve in reality as a petticoat They are especially adaptable for wear with chiffon evening frocks. : Another whimsy in underthings Is found In colored crepe de chine garments with cretonne appliques In the shape of flowers in the natural flower colorings. Afternoon Skirts. Anltto length, or over, Is the M&S for afternoon skirts, with the exceptlon of a few. Uneven effects at the bem continue to be popular, though they are not as universal as they have been. Sometimes skirts are full, but their effect is always soft and straight, with the exception of immense organdie skirts and lingerie models. When white chiffon Is used for a kiddie's party frock, and frill upon frill adorns the skirt, there is little other than a rosette or two needed to complete this most cherished item of a child's wardrobe. ; Tailored Silk Bloilasa. Bwrnflcloth. radium silks, crept de chine and canton crepe are favorite mediums for the development of the silk tailored waists. They follow the same general outlines -as the cotton numbers, with diversity expressed In i collar and cuff treatments. STRAIGHT SILHOUETTE TRIUMPHS #- Spring Fashions Are Not Revolution* ary, According to an Authority on Women's Wear. fhe spring fashions are not revolutionary, declares an authority. The Straight silhouette triumphs. The bouffant is permitted for young girls' dancing frocks and has not distended hips, but IS wide at the hem. The tendency of the waistline is higher. Sleeves ure important in all blouses, so much so that they affect the line of the silhouette. They are generally long for daytime. Skirt lengths have Increased for afternoon and evening. Black has not disappeared, but color Is paramount. The vogue for beige is remarkable. Indications point to tremendous popularity for the three-piece costume, made with a coat rather than a cape. Lingerie touches and plaitings of every variety are repeated by almost all houses. ; Kasha, repp, twill and serge lead In Woolen fabrics. Crepe de chine, printvnllned and faoed back at the front with self fnaterlal. As a rival to this substantial and beautiful garment the picture presents >. a dressy wrap made of a soft coating. It has a yoke and dolman sleeves and ; appears to be a member of the cape % family that has made departures from . family traditions. But it achieves a cape effect by means of a deep fringe across the back, falling from the yoke. Always, when skirts grow longer, tlngulshes this all-black model. Placed last, but In the lead so far as popular^ lty Is concerned, appears a straw shape with wide, lacey brim. It haa a sash of ribbon, ending In three loops at each side and a generous halfwreath of blossoms across the front. ed crepes, crepe romaln, crepe marocaln and crepe satin are the silk materials of the moment. Satin, georgette and foulard follow closely. Bright galloons are good. Dresses of two materials combined are emphasized. Lace is conspicuous, with accent placed on fine black lace. In evening dresses, bead embroidery sometimes covers the material so entirely that It suggests a new fabric. In spite of the many new and attractive meshes which are being shown in veils, the mesh most often seen is the very one with small chenille dots thickly inset. The body of the veil Is most often white with a dot harmantslng in color with the costume. -- Shades In Silks. In the silk dresses with matching capes darker colors are seen and More of them used together, as, for instance, a taupe silk with border of green, yellow and rich blue in plaid effect* these colors repeated in the cape.

When sleeves are not wide, either intrinsically or by the addition of floating wings of lace or chiffon, then they are suppressed altogether for afternoon wear, but the sleeveless models are usually hidden for outdoor wear under a matching cape or coat. Here and there we have a long, tight sleeve for afternoon, as in a striking Lanvln model of black crepe, banded with cyclamen and blue, which has a sleeve as tight as the skin of the arm, banded above the elbow in medieval fashion with two colors Jenny's afternoon sleeves are luvari- FASHIONS IN BRIEF Trimming that emphasises the width of the hat Is la vogue.

SPRINGTIME IN ZOO - ^ •'Good-morning," said Mr. Yak from Asia. "Good-morning," said Mr. Cape Bofr falo from South Africa. "I have a pleasant enough disposition," said Mr. Yak, "but I am annoyed if anyone tries to pull my great long shaggy hair." "You have such heavy hair," said Mr. Cape Buffalo, It Is trttly magnificent." "Ah yes," said Mr. Yak, "my hair Is very nice and very fine. When I think of the effort some creatures go to so as to have whiskers and beards and mustaches and such things I have to smile. "And ladies have their hair treated so It will be long and little girls wish they had as long curly hair as other little girls they know. "It Is all very funny to me, for X naturally have long hair. It is very Shaggy and very heavy and fevery one notices It about me right away." "I am a water buffalo, if anyone should ask me," said Mr. Cape Buffalo, "and I used to be a beast of buVden.

"Of course I do not mean that we are not of beautiful shape in any case. An elephant's shape is something to wonder at and admire. "But we are made to look our very best and an elephant's best is pretty fine. "Of course, as I've explained before," Mr. Elephant continued, "when ire are In the free state we cut our nails by climbing and walking and we oil our handsome shapes by going Into the native marshes where there is much oily water.
