coming to a child's face. The cap is
very simply and easily made. and a
pattern may be secured from any
good pattern-house. 1t consists of a
top, side pieces and ear-laps. Astra-
kan, Persian lamb, or some of the
rough clothes. will be appropriate.

Embroidery continues to hold its
place and is used on all sorts of high
class garments. One of its newest
Ideas is the use of French crestoone,
which is a thin glossy fabric. The
,attern is cut out and applied with a
ong and short stitch. 1t is effective
on vests. collars, cuffs and belts,
though its use is given to wider uses
than these.
Vests and vestees and soft silk
folds in different colors used as a
vest edge are favored. Sometimes
they are copied exactly from the
mems vests, or they are used In sur
pliced fashion or cross-over effects.

square designs are used. and those

the semi-dress garments for after
moons.

piled hens: and these hens are en-
broidered or decorated with designs
done In soutache. Some are trimmed
with quilting of cloth velvet, ribbon
or braid.

veloped from printed India linen en-
broidered Swiss. Persian lawn, plum
etis, challis, albatross( or the wash

useful fabrics with trimmings of Val
enciennes or Cluny laces. Hand en-
broidery which may be done at home,
is dainty additional decoration.

Taffeta. is. of course. the best ma
terial for this purpose.
The long, close-fitting coat is much
favored this season. 1t will be slashed
at the sides and have a smart vest
and reversed cuffs. A dark coat will
often have a white or very light col
ored silk vest well covered with a
design in soutache braid, flat col
lar facing of velvet with its edges
outlined with the braid, and the cuffs
should be decorated in the same
fashion.
The use to which tiny folds of taf-
feta and satin are put are many.
They may be applied in braiding pat

zigzag designs on panels. fronts,
vests, hens or collars and cuffs.
