THERE'S something inimitably graceful about

the swing of a cape-and when it's as well cut as this spring's models, It has a dashing verve and animation that glorify the young and take years off the age of the not-so-young.

Short, medium or full-length espes-také your pick-one is as fashionable as another, what with all this tale about streamline, windblown and movement in the allhouatte. You'll look a long way, yes, a very long way, before you find any- thing that has more movement than n capo. It never stands still but floats gracefully behind as you walk and even seem to futter and ripple when you're standing atili.

The cape iden, modliled, appears also in awag- ger atrect ensemble with straight, unbelted three-quarter conts, or in the universally be- coming box jackets which hang straight. Tron shoulders to hips. They're not capes, you under- stand, but are emulative of the capo theme just . the same.

Speaking of plaids, the reversible capca are as. flattering to any woman as Katharine Hepburn's Little Women coiffure is to her. Plald on one side and plain on the other, these can be worn elther side out with equal success.

Cape ensembles are most amusing. Just try to resist a chic dress of heavy crope with a cape to go with it! Maybe the capo will bavo slita for your arms, or It may have a slit in back for the dress belt to slip through.

Pale green, powder blus, light rozo, creatay orange-all aro anchanting colours for capes.

Silk frocks with shoulder-length capes that button or tie on to the necklines are spring fashions that will be good all summor.
