PRETTY CAP FOR CHILD.
Of Silk, Trimmed Around the Face
with Wool Canvas.

A cap for a child of two is made of
silk and trimmed around the face
with band of wool canvas lined with
silk and embroidered in the cross
stitch. The material is of square
mesh, not unlike linen canvas, and at
the same time the threads may be
pulled so that the band is finished on
each side with Mexican drawnwork.
The design used for the embroidery
is a wreath of roses interwined so
that they are continuous vine
around the cap. If the wooden ma
terial is not used for trimming the
design may be worked on silk by first
basting over it some linen canvas
The stitching may then go through
both that and the silk, and when the
design is. finished the canvas may be
pulled away thread by thread. A cap
of this plain variety is more becoming
and more comfortable for a baby
than are the very much trimmed and
fussy bonnets that many children
wear.

LITTLE wAisTcoAT OF LINEN.
Garment Either in That Material or
Cretonne Is Popular.

The little cretonne, or coarsely-
printed linen waistcoat, tight-httlng,
and adorned with row of dull gold
buttons, has given ample evidence
that it may be regarded as one OF the
most important items of spring wear,
in spite of the fact that the fashion
able Parisienne might have been ex-
pected to have exhausted it's possible
ties last year.
1t will be worn in conjunction with
the severest of blue serge tailor-made
costumes. the filet being cut out at
the tor in the form of a V to allow of
a smart little vest Of tucked net,
which is supplemented with a lace
iabot of the ''abbe' persuasion.
The design which is most in favor for
the linen or cretonne is the quaint
Georgian pattern, represented by little
scattered, detached bouquets of flow
ers on a plain ground, pale biscuit Or
sac de raisin groundwork being
chosen for bouquets in pink, blue and
amber.

New Biouses Vary,

There is one item in her wardrobe
that no woman need to worry about
this year, and that is her blouses, or
her shirt waists, as she is apt to call
them. No matter what her age or her
figure, there is such a diversity of
styles and designs that she need have
no difficulty in getting what she wants.
If she wishes to add breadth to her
shoulders, this broadness is produced
by plaits extending over the shoulders,
and then again by a scarf-like drapery
so arranged that it widens the Shout
der line. While, on the other hand
if she has fondness for long, droop-
ing shoulders, she can find many de-
signs that will carry out this effect.

Cuffs for Biouses.

There is a great variety in the
cuffs used on the blouses for the com
ing season. Sometimes they are OF
the stiff, masculine variety, and some
times they are turnback, starched af-
fairs; again, they are merely ruff
fe; and others are a band of en-
broidery, edged or not with lace, as
may seem best to the dressmaker.
Then, too, there are the mousque,
taire or mitten cuffs of lace, which
extend from a small puff in the elbow
and closely cover the wrist and the
knuckles of the hand.

Men Who Worked UnseIfishy for the

serious sense of the value Of his art

the artist who lives not for himself.
but for his craft, and while there are
many others, bred in the same lofty
traditions of service, who may be re-
lied upon to give themselves gener-
ously to the still formative work OF
creating and charging lntelhgent
literary and musical opinion, the ac-
comnlishment of these two men can
not be duplicated. Both have given
momentum to influences of great pub
lie value.
We hear much in criticism of the
aloofness of the artist-much IN de-
rogation of him as gentle hermit.

of what is called silver gray elastic
