rather deep crown, which did not fit the
head tight, but stood out and up from
the head like a poke bonnet. The lib
erty silk formed the rest of the bonnet,
being made into a rather large ruffie
round the face widest in the middle
and graduated toward the sides. 1t
was frilled or doubled over an inside
ruff1e made of rather heavier NOUS
seline de sole, which gave some body
to the ruffie. Inside this ruffie again
there were sewed rows and rows of
Valenciennes.
The bonnet. which was made to set
back on the head so that the ruff1e or
brim had quite flare, had tiny piece
of pink forget-me-not stuck inside
among the lace at the left side of the
brim.
Another style of bonnet much in
vogue is made Of accordion plated lib
erty silk. The silk is gathered around
a button or piece of embroidery in the
Los Angeles herald., 1905-09-24

and again others are made Of rows Of
fine shocking or tucking, fiuting or
accordion pleating, caught down by
bands of the embroidery. Fashionable
caps also have a center crown Of em-
broidery and medallions to match it
scattered over the other part of the
bonnet. This is, of course, for the tiny
babys perfectly close fitting bonnet,
which is oftentimes one of the richest
items Of it's wardrobe.
Again, these wee infants bonnets are
made of rich lace, as were those of the
royal babies of old. When this fabric
is used it is needless to say that the
little cap is lined with softest silk or
nainsook, pleasing to the soft baby
head. If ever fine lace and hand em-
broidery seem an absolute necessity 1t
is when these trimmings are used on
infants garments. Better plain silk
cap than one of coarse, pretentious ma
terial The embroidery should be of
Los Angeles herald., 1905-09-24

middle of the crown, and then made
into a succession of puffs, which form
the full crown, and which are rather
loose to show the beauty of the accor-
dion plating, and caught down be-
tween the puffs with rows of shirring
or brierstitching. A wide ruffle Of the
accordion plating around the face COM
pletes the bonnet. Inside this plating
there should be at least one other ruff
f1e, and If the ruff1e is made very wide
so as to require something to hold It out
there should be also a double chiffon
ruf1e shirred near the edge with cord
run in the shirring. A taffeta ruff1e
may also be used between the accor-l
dion plated ruffie and the chiffon one.
In all these bonnets ruching is fitted
inside directly next the head. All OF
this style OF bonnets also depend on
the cording of their ruffles in several
rows, and near the edge especially, to
make the ruffles stand up properly.
One of the most attractive bonnets
Is made of white taffeta, or rather OF
ivory taffeta, for much of it's beauty is
in the exquisite tint. 1t has no trim
ming except self-ruffies and pufiings
except the inside chiffon ruffle and
ruching next the face. In any instance
where chiffon ruff1e may be used
fine batiste ruff1e is also appropriate,
and indeed seems better suited to In
fant flnery than the chiffon. The finest
and sheerest of batiste must be chosen,
however, if the diaphanous effect is
desired.
A quaint way to trim a cap which is
almost as effective as embroidery and
requires less time is by the use of
narrow figured white ribbon. The rib
bon should be of satin half an inch wide
or less, and the figures, of course, are
also in white, usually silk on satin or
vice versa The ribbon can be put on
fiat around a full crown, so that it
forms a most effective decoration. 1t
should also be made into border
around the full ruffle which forms the
front of the bonnet and a number of
very full bows OF it may be placed one
on top, two at the sides and one inside
the face ruff1e.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-09-24

ruff1e was set on around the cap for an
edge. Inside this small ruffie there was
another pleated ruff1e of the silk, quite
wide in the middle and tapering away
at the sides. This large ruffle did not
go around the back. Inside the large
ruffle of silk was set a full double ruff
file of white chiffon, which was edged
with guipure lace about an inch and a
half wide. Another bonnet made on a
similar plan, but without the lace, was
quite as quaint and becoming to its
baby wearer. 1t had instead OF the
plain ruffle around the crown and the
face puff and ruff1e, narrow around
the crown and wider around the edge
OF the bonnet.
A dear little bonnet, quite different
in effect, was made. entirely of narrow
lace and liberty silk The lace, which
was French Valenciennes, about half
an inch wide. was gathered quite full
and put on in tiny ruffies to make the

batiste or rich quality of silk-in
short. of the softest and finest mater
falls obtainable. The lace should he
real, If possible, and if an imitation be
used it should be of the very finest and
of rich but refined pattern. Ostenta-
ton in the garments of baby is vul-
gar above all things.
For the slightly older baby who is
still, however, very much the baby
there are the most beautiful little bon
nets, with ruff1es around the face.
These bonnets are made of peau de sole,
gros grain silk taffeta, liberty silk, lib
erty satin and many other soft and rich
materials. One bonnet made Of peau
de sole had full gathered crown,
around which was set a narrow ruffie.
The sides and front of the cap were
frilled and under this another narrow

are also feature of this winters fash
ions, and these, too require careful
treatment that they shall not break the
lines in an ugly manner, but shall give
the width that is desired without being
involved but is always simple to one
who understands dress.
An extremely smart gown and an eff
fective one, If worn by a woman with
a good figure, is the princesse style,
with the bolero to be worn with 1t on
cold days. The gown must be entirely
finished in itself-not one of those skirts
with a high bodice and suspenders all
in one, but a regular princesse gown,
Los Angeles herald., 1905-09-24

skirt keeps fresher in this way. At the
same time there is the disadvantage, if
there is a contrasting shade of color,
that it cuts the figure if height is
needed, and at the present moment
height and slenderness are thought
very smart and very desirable for every
woman to possess, and If nature has
not bestowed them upon her she must
resort to artificial means to attain
them.
The circular skirt is favorite model
for the long as well as the short skirts,
but requires just as much care in cut
ting for one length as for the other.
The pleats put in to give added fullness

THE most elaborate of the white
silk babies caps, which are re-
placing the thin null and main
sock, now that the weather is growing
cooler, are those made with guam
tity of shocking, supplemented by en-
broidery ALL of course, in pure white
Some of the caps shown at the good
shops are shocked from the middle of
the crown to the very edge, the only
break made in the shocking being at
the line where the crown joins the side
piece. Here a band of embroidery
separates the two parts. An embroi-
dered medallion also marks the CEN
ter, and the edge of the cap has the
shocking let out to form a small ruche
of the silk, edged with feather stitch
ing, embroidery or similarly light and
suitable ornamentation. A ruche CT
strings of wash silk ribbon, or rather
tape, of the sort that is used in under
wear. complete the cap. The bow on
the top and at the back are also of
wash silk tape, which is most sensi-
BILE sort of ribbon to use on babies
things. The satin or silk ribbon has
constantly to be replaced If it Is to
look at all well, which is both expen-
sive and troublesome, but the wash silk
tape, which is quite as pretty for the
infant finery, may be washed out easily
and will look as well as ever.
Another shocked silk bonnet for a i
somewhat older child is compromise
between a regular bonnet and Tam
o. Shanter. 1t has a crown shocked
almost entirely except for wreath of
embroidery and the embroidery center.
Beyond this the silk comes out in a |
full Tam o. Shanter effect, and is then
caught in close to the head with a |
wide band of the shocking
The shocked bonnets are not, how
ever, the only ones that are popular.
There are a great variety of these
fetching little bonnets planned to act
off to perfection every order of baby
beauty. AS in all garments now fash
ionable. whether for grown persons or
children, embroidery plays very i'm
portant part in the ohildren's caps. |
Some of the tight little caps for young
babies are shown made of solid emf |
broidery. Others have embroidered |
crowns and borders around the face,

open at the throat to show lace and a
touch of an embroidered waistcoat The
bolero is of the same material and is a
mass of embroidery and lace edged
with fur-a warm little garment and
becoming one if, as has been said, the
figure of the wearer is good.
These princesse gowns are trimmed
down the front and around the hem
with embroidery-that is, embroidered
bands-or with braiding on the material
itself, but have the effect of being
rather plain with all the ornamentation
accumulated, as it were, on the jacket.
and these little jackets are wonders as
regards workmanship.

wide band around the hem or where
the hem would be. These bands are of
velvet or cloth of a deeper shade, and
are embroidered. The fashion has its
good points, because the hem of the

enough over the skirt to give the eff

The skirts are trimmed in a variety
of ways; in the long bands, in the

with the long lines, and the long lines
are accentuated in many instances by
