made from white lace scarf or veil. the

the looped pink ribbon trims this cap all
around.
Out-of- door or boulevard lace caps are
models designed for boudoir wear, and
there IL usually less brim and more
crown. There are three styles. the Char
lotte Corday cap. which is illustrated:
the round mob cap. which fits rather
closely to the head, and the quaint
Dutch cap, which is rather square in
shape and has roSettes over the ears.
The dainty Charlotte Corday cap pic

plat at the back does much to help its

Fascinating motor coats made Of soft

over the pretty dinner frocks. A stunning
coat of this sort was worn by woman
who drove up with party OF New
Workers to a fashionable restaurant In

and around the bottom and edging the
loose, baglike sleeves were ten-tnch In
sertions Of cream Greek lace, the bold
open pattern of the lace showing the
tan silk beneath The upper part Of the
coat seemed much looser and fuller than
the narrow skirt. though this was prob
ably merely trick in the cutting. One
side Of the front turned back from the
neck to below the waist, where the
fastening was arranged in a deep rever.
which was faced with white satin. The
simplicity and elegance OF this coat were

which gave extreme looseness at the

an exaggerated sailor collar OF white
satin, which came below the waistline

and indeed once the charming wraps are
removed the little dinner frocks are so
ravishing that one wishes to think Of
nothing else.
