It is becoming fashionable to wear
a cafe bonnet or cap to the aIter-
theater supper in the cities. The
married women need not provide
themselves with cafe cap. because
husbands don't seem to make prac-
tice of taking their wives out to sup
per after the show-they do well TO
take them to the theater, but all the
girls should have them to prove to
their beaus who take them to the
nickelodian and then to restaurant
or a soda pop stand, that their gem
crosby is acknowledged. Inc cap
could be carried in the bag with the
powder puff and donned when the
lunch counter was reached. The big
moving picture hat worn the rest of
the evening would have to be taken
care of during the meal, but 1t might
be laid on the counter, or perhaps the
gallant escort would be pleased to
hold it while its owner ate, and then
she could take charge of 1t while ne
Toasted. Thus the supper would be
prolonged and the bonnet duly dis
played. 1 have seen one of these bon
nets. The crown is transparent. being
made of two layers of maine, black
over white, and a bright silver ribbon
binds the crown. The cap fits the
head and is worn at a rakish angle. At
the back of the cap is a large maline
bow poised at the top of the crown,
and above the ribbon is wreath of
iforget-me-nots and fern 1t is a
handsome creation, and I understand
that it is not injured by being crushed
or folded.
