under this another narrow ruffie was set
on around the cap for an edge. Inside this
small ruff1e there was another pleated ruff1e
of the silk, quite wide in the middle and
tapering away at the sides. This large ruff
fle did not go around the back. Inside the
large ruffie Of silk was set fun double
ruff1e of white chiffon, which was edged
with tiny chiffon pleating. The large
ruff1e and all the other ruff1es on the bon
net were edged with guipure lace about
an inch and a half wide. Another bonnet
made on a similar plan, but without the
lace, was quite quaint and becoming to
its baby wearer. 1t had instead of the plain
ruffie 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 Valencienres. about half an inch
wide, was gathered quite full and put on
in tiny ruffles to make the rather deep
crown, which did not fit the head tight,
but stood out and up from the head like
a poke bonnet. The liberty silk formed the
rest OF the bonnet, being made into a rath-
er large ruffie around the face. widest in
the middle and graduated toward the sides.
1t was frilled or doubled over an inside
ruf1e made of a rather heavier mousseline
de sole, which gave some body to the ruff
fle. 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 ruffie brim had
quite fare. had tiny piece of pink for
get-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 liberty silk.
The silk Is gathered around button or
piece of embroidery in the 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
accordion plating and caught down be-
tween the puffs with rows of shirring or
brierstitching. wide ruffie of the accor-
dion plating around the face completes the
bonnet. Inside this plating there should
be at least one other ruffie. and II the ruff
f1e is made very wide so as to require some
thing to hold it out, there should be also a
double chiffon ruff1e shirred near the edge
with cord run in the shirring. taffeta
ruffie may also be used between the ac-
Gordon plated ruffie and the chiffon one.
In all these bonnets a ruching is fitted in
side 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 ruffies
stand UP properly.
One of the most attractive bonnets Is
made of white taffeta, or. rather of ivory
taffeta. for much of its beauty is In the
exquisite tint. 1t has no trimming except
self-rufi1es and puff1ngs except the inside
chiffon ruffie and ruching next the face. In
any instance where chiffon ruffle may be
used fine batiste ruffle is also appropriate
and indeed seems better suited to infant
finery than the chiffon. The finest and
sheerest of batiste must be chosen. how
ever, II the diaphanous effect is desired.
A quaint way to trim cap which Is al
most as effective embroidery and re-
auires less time Is by the use of narrow
figured white sfbbon. The ribbon should be
of satin half stn inch wide or less. and the
figures, of course, are also In white. usn-
ally silk on satin or vice versa The rib
bon can be put on nat around a full crown,
so that It forms a most effective decoration.
1t should also be made into border around
the full ruffie which forms the front of the
bonnet, and number of very full bows of
It may be placed one on top two at the
sides and one inside the face ruffie.
Another simple and effective way Of TRIM
ming one Of these picturesque bonnets and
which costs less Ia money than lace and
less In time than embroidery is to use tiny
shirrinss of liberty silk. A bonnet having
full poke crown and full plating or
gathered rufle around the face when made
