CAPES, one of smartest
fashion trends of Spring, are blowing in every, direction in the brisk
March winds. And very chic they
are, leading a military air and
lots. of dash.to the wearer when
they swing over either dresses or
suits. Appearing in both the bright
and dark shades of the season, they
ripple intriguingly in the wind, revealing faille or wool suits, match
Or contrasting sheer wool
f. Not liniited to the monotone shades by any means, capes
of plaids and other gay, colorful
combinations, also are making quite
@ Splash on the fashion front.

In the faille and wool combination, Brandy brown, a new brown
with lots of verve, and beige is a
favored combination. Brown for
the crisp faille suit and beige wool
for the cape. The suit is really a
suit. dress. worn without a. biouse.
and its. only ornament a topaz pin
glistening on the. left lapel. Brown
shoes, bag, gloves and large Milar
hat accompany this ensemble.

Wool teams with wool in another

the colors are bright red and navy
