Ladies' Page: a chic opera-cape, 1898. 'Hunt and county balls are sprinkled thickly over the list of present amusements in home quarters and country houses, in consequence undergoing a quick change of guests as functions succeed each other...this chic little opera-cape commends itself to appreciative consideration with its rich embroideries of variously sized pearl and crystal on white satin, a festooned flounce of point de gaze making that luxurious contrast to the dark sable border which fur and lace accomplish so successfully. A well-tied bow of white satin ribbon with long ends further gives a well-considered last touch to the wide lace-lined collar'. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
