CAPES IN HEIGHT OF FAVOR
No Doubt That Picturesque Wraps
Will Be a Feature of Autumn
Styles—Day and Evening
Gowns Much Alike.
The Redfern model I have sketched
this week Is very novel anil original
in design and yet It is comparatively
simple, writes Idallu de Villlers, Paris
correspondent of the Boston Globe.
This robe, intended for afternoon
wear, Is typical of present-day styles.
It possesses uII the elements that go to
make up a successful toilette of this
wonderful year.
In the first pluce the general outline
of the little gown rather suggests an
evening costume. The neck Is cut
round, in generous fashion, and the
k sleeves are very short and transparent,
yet tills is the kind of dress that Is
worn at the big race meetings and at
all outdoor festivities, accompanied
by a big picture hat and—more prob
ably than not—by short gauntlet
gloves. It Is, in fact, a genuine 1919
model.
The material of this costume is
black and white foulard—large white
spots on a black ground. There Is a
suggestion of pannier draperies at the
sides, and at the hem the supple ma
terial Is so cleverely arranged that it
gives something of the Turkish trouser
effect. Then the waistline is long, and
what the French cull “vague,” that is
to say, It is loose and ultranatural.
I recently saw a very similar dress
worn at an Auteull race meeting, but
the material was midnight blue char
meuse, with a dainty chemisette of
flesh-pink orgadie muslin anil a thick
blue fringe on the draped tunic.
Strikingly Original Costume.
The neck wus cut round, almost like
the Redfern model, but the sleeves
were even shorter. Very long pale
gray suede gloves were worn and an
Immense pule gruy felt hat, lined with
black chip and trimmed with a cluster
of black sutln water lilies. It was an
amazingly original costume, taking it
altogether.
Nearly all the best race gowns of
this season have closely resembled eve
ning dresses, that is to say, they have
had decollete necks, short sleeves and
fllmy draperies. It Is not ut all easy
to distinguish between day and eve
ning gowns Just now unless one makes
a careful study of materials. It Is not
considered correct to wear metallic
brocades In the duyttme nor paillettes
unless the latter he skillfully Inter
mingled with tine silk embroidery, but
very many of the best and most ex
pensive race dresses are richly
trimmed with Jet and steel fringes and
_ . . with embroideries worked In Jet steel
and moonlight heads.
It Is as I have said a wonderful
year, and it must he admitted an ex
travagant one. Never have I known
money spent so freely ns at the pres
ent moment, and by the most unex
pected ppople. As to the prices of the
Paris restaurants—especially those
situated In the Bols de Boulogne—It is
enough to make one gasp with horror;
one has Indeed to think, not twice, but
many times, before inviting a few
friends to afternoon tea at an out
door restaurant.
Paris Profiteers Busy.
Of course. It Is true that prices are
high everywhere, and for everything,
but that does not account for the ut
terly outrageous prices that are now
f being asked in Purls for simple arti
cles of food and of dress. People In
sist that the mischief has been done
by rich young soldiers back from the
front, who have not hesitated to muke
“a big splash."
There may be some truth in this,but
It is not all the truth; some people are
making huge profits over the necessi
ties of the hour, ami u day of reckon
ing will surely come.
---:-1
At the big race meetings we have
seen a great many picturesque wraps,
which suggest delightful things for the
autumn. The quaint Manon cape, full
and voluminous, is still a strong fa
vorite. It is made of satin or peau de
soie and lined throughout with the
softest duvetyn, in some pale neutral
i tint, or a vivid color, such as rose Du
harry or leaf green.
A black Manon cape, lined with pale
1 beige duvetyn, is a precious posses
sion. It is warm, picturesque in out
line, becoming and cozy. The Paris
iennes, especially our smart young ac
tresses, wear these loose cloaks with
immense grace and charm. They have
a clever wuy of drawing them in at
the hem to give the trouser effect
shown in the Itedfern sketch.
Gorgeous Evening Wraps.
For Biarritz and Deauville, for chil
ly evenings, similar wraps are lined
with bright rose or green velours de
laine, and a special feuture is made of
the big Manon hood. These cloaks will
lie worn in the daytime, too, over lnce
and linen dresses, the loose fronts
thrown back and the cape hood falling
off the shoulders.
I am sending you a sketch of the
latest rue de la Palx millinery, models
specially designed for the llrst race
meeting at Deauville. It shows a
really exquisite hat created by Tal
bot. The shape was dlrectoire and the
; hat was rnude of black lacquered
straw, with deep rose Stantuug to line
tiie brim. Tiie trimming wus cunningly
arranged. A long, wide, black satin
ribbon had wreath of exquisite pink
water lilies attached to it in front.
This ribbon was passed around the
high crown of the hat, tied loosely at
the back and then allowed to fall in
long, loose ends over the shoulders.
Popular Style of Trimming.
This style of trimming is a Talbot
specialty. I have seen it repeated with
various flowers, and with flowers and
fruits mixed. The dlrectoire shapes
are more fashionable than ever; they
have been found almost universally
becoming and they supply a picture
esque headdress which is exactly suit
able for wearing with the present-day
dresses of ruther fussy outline.
Many of tiie newest bats show long
floating ribbons. In velvet or sutln,
and it may be said that the flouting
veil Is more In fuvor than ever, espe
cially for seaside and country wear;
we do not see it very often in town.
White chip hats covered with Shan
tung or tussor are going to be the
! craze of the season. For morning
wear, to accompany simple tussor
tailored suits, I have seen white chip
sailor shapes covered on the outer side
with tussor and trimmed with two
! large white wings.
PAY ATTENTION TO SHOES
"Sloppy" Footwear Will Spoil the Ef
fect of the Most Handsome Cos
tume That Can Be Donned.
Shoes are not good fits that wrin
kle anywhere. Wrinkles under the
arch are caused by too low a heel
or the low instep of the wearer.
A higher heel will usually make a
shoe fit better If the Instep Is low.
This Is especially true with a long,
slender foot. Shoes that wrinkle be
cause a little wide can he remedied
after a fashion by wearing an Inner
sole. Shoe trees, of course, should
he used In shoes when they are not
being worn, for the best-flttlng pair Is
apt to wrinkle In the process of cool
ing from a warm foot. With thin
pumps and slippers a generous stuf
fing of tissue paper makes a good
substitute for shoe trees. A well
dressed woman never allows her heels
to “run down." Having heels “built
up" Is Inexpensive, Is the least
“patchy” looking of all shoe repair
ing, and besides Improving the looks
of shoes, enables the wearer to have
a better carriage In walking.
Mrs. Wilson's “Cape-Gown."
The costume of black satin char
meuse and king’s blue satin worn In
the senate gallery by Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson the other day. Is the first of
the “cape gown” type of costume to
be seen In Washington. The black
satin cape, which, at the back quite
covered the fitted gowr. handsomely
embroidered In varl-eolored silk and
lightened with sequins of king’s blue,
was lined with king's bine satin ex
actly matching the gown In tone.

He was the son of the president of
the bank, but Aileen Drury did not
know that. He was so pleasant, so
smiling, so accommodating that she
considered he would grace any social
or business position. Once a day reg
ularly Aileen had to go to the institu
tion to deposit cash and checks for
Truitt & Company, whose stenographer
she was.
She always went to the window of
the assistant paying teller, after he
had one day politely handed to her an
exquisite white rose that reposed in a
glass pin bowl filled with water on his
desk. He had noted her admiring gaze
und she accepted the trifle with a smile
of genuine pleasure. The next day his
kindness was accentuated by giving
her a small bouquet of variegated pan
sies.
So after that It was always a little
floral offering, or a brief friendly chat.
Aileen's sweet face had enchanted the
young hank man and she looked for
ward to her daily visit to the teller’s
window.
Aileen was receiving a careful bus
iness education from Truitt & Co.
They were precise and systematic
people. She had sense and aimed to ex
cel and they trusted her implicity. The
senior partner called her to his office
one day.
"Miss Drury,” he said, “on your way
to the bank just drop in on Martin
Rolfe, will you and present this hill
for $1,200. I scarcely think he will pay
It, as he is very nearly on the rocks.
If he doesn't, tell him we shall apply
some pressure for the collection at
once.”
Aileen was fully familiar with the
Rolfe account and needed no further
instructions. She found the man In
his office and noticed that part of Its
furniture had disappeared. Aileen was
a keen observer and analyst and fan
cied she detected sure signs of busi
ness trouble.
Rolfe began his usual excuses, but
Aileen was clear and firm. Finally he
filled in a check for $1,200. It was
drawn on the Atlas National, with
which Truitt & Company also carried
their account. Aileen signed a receipt
and left the office, but at the head of
the street stairs, paused us she caught
a remark from one of two men loiter
ing near by.
"Sure Rolfe Is In his office?” he
spoke.
"Dead sure,” was the response of
tils companion. "We gain nothing by
delay. Serve the notice of foreclosure
on what of his furniture he hasn't sold
and then get to the bank and garnishee
hLs account. I tell you the man Is next
door to bankruptcy and Is getting ready
to jump the city."
“Mercy me I” breathed the startled
Aileen. 1 won't lose any time In get
ting this check cashed.”
She reached the Atlas National quite
out of breath and anxious and excited.
She was experienced enough to com
prehend that she was in a race against
risk and possible loss, with time, the
essence of the pending transaction.
Alan Britton looked up with a smile
of welcome as Aileen’s sweet face was
framed by the metal bound window
of his cage. His quick eye detected
her agitation and expressed solicitude.
Voung Britton glanced at the check
presented, then at Ail-en as If to In
dicate that the bit of paper conveyed
some arousing ideas of his mind.
"Twelve hundred,” he read. “1 am
pretty sure, Miss Drury, that Mr. Rolfe
has less than that amount to his cred
it account, hut I will see.”
Alnn called a messenger boy and
handl’d him the check with the direc
tion “Tell the bookkeeper to give me
the cash balance of Martin itolfe," and
In a moment or two the boy with the
check and a slip of paper upon which
the bookkeeper had written the fig
ures: "$1,150." How Aileen knew
this, was that with a suggestive glance
Alan placed the slip so she could not
help but rend It. She was business wo
man enough to take the hint, bestowed
upon him u direct smile and passed on
to the window of the receiving teller.
She hud selected $50 In currency from
her own deposit money.
“Will you please credit this to the
account of Mr. Martin Rolfe?" she
spoke sweetly, yet with a little grim,
half concealed smile. “It covers a dis
puted account which 1 think we had
better settle."
Then Aileen Innocent faced, demure,
calm, though her heart was beating
fast, went back to Alan Britton.
“Won’t you please pass the check
tblt/fa again?” she asked and a Hash
of admiration In Alan’s eyes mtufe her
tremble and blush. Again the mes
senger, a new slip from the bookkeeper,
and with n dry smile at the cornef of
his lips, Alan paid out $1,200. Aileen
had been wise enough to know how to
turn the corner of the “not sufficient
funds" predicament of the wily Rolfe.
And just In time, for as Aileen stood
there seeking to regain her composure
two further checks of Itolfe’s were pre
sented, and their possessors sent sadly
awn" empty handed.

became engaged. “He always told me
