Smart Capes Make Good Background.
Is there any woman who has gone
her way in this world, even with her
mind intent on other things than _d,f658,
withdut being alive to the ’ pictur-
esqueness of the modern cape: It is
the background against which the pen-
cil silhouette of the day is outlined.
lt'is so voluminous. and the woman in
her new clothes is so frail. and slen-
der that she appears to be a shadow
cast against some brilliant stage back-
ground or a column against velvet cur-
thins.
Once it was thought ihat few women
could carry off a cape with the spirit it
demanded. it is a most picturesque
,garment. No one can doubt this who
has noticed the hundreds of glances
turned toward the figures of the tall
young Italian aviators in their long,
sweeping cape. , Zl'l one end thrown
over the left shoulder. All other not-
‘forms may pass with merely a ripple
‘of interest,_ but, the Italians step into
ithe middle of the limelight, and the
IAmericans have no hesitancy in ac-
cording to them these smiling. approv-
ing glances that we always give to
. the human being who contirlvesto look
llike an agreeable picture. -1 _

lshoulder, if its sleeves seem tofbe a
' part of that ripple, and if its fastening
down the front is negligible. then the

be barred. l ,,
’l‘he cape rules the hour. it gives
every woman with an attenuated cos-
tume, made according to the request
of the government. a chance to take to
herself the grace of a butterfly. She
disguises the lack of material in her
frock by ripping 11th her cape and
looking like some winged summer
creature that has a right to the beauty
and joy of life. '
No woman should try’to escape the
cape. if she is stout she must arrange
her garments in some way that will at

or and grace.
There are severe capes and gay
capes, ornate capes and simple ones.
It is not necessary to make one choice.
Even women of small means seem‘ to
possesu two or three capes for diifer-
ent occasions. They are of chiffon
edged with fur for the afternoon and
for summer evenings, theyare of gab-
ardlne, severely stitched, for the street
at 11 in the morning; they are of dark
blue silk serge lined with artillery red
or Chinese yellow, for the country and
for country clubs.
STAY SLENDER.
Body fat is stored-up energy. Keep
your energy in circulation-not in stor

plenty of them. Use up the energy
they give you for your war work and
