NEW COSTUME FOR TEA COSY
Though Simple, IL May Be Made Very Pretty, and Is Almost No Trou-
 bIe to Make.

If you haven't time and materials ssc ssc dress your tea cosy as a French aristocrat or colonial dame, don't despair Instead of allowing the tea pot to get cold for want of wearing attire of the conventional type, sally forth to the shopping district, pur- chase medium-sized doll, amputate it from the waist down and dress it in circular cape made of whatever lowered material is in the house, The garment should fit smoothly over the dolls shoulders and become only gradually wider as it lengthens suftl- ciently to cover the cosy. In order that the lower edge shall not crinkle up or sag inward, there should be a hem wide enough to accommodate a whalebone. The fronts of the cloak are joined above an inner staying strap and may he fitted closely about the neck under fancy collar of lace or embroidery. On the cosy's head ii worn a witch's cap made of materia matching the cape and trimmed in { way to emphasize the tall peak. Int cap consists of two triangles of thu brocaded or lowered silk. lined witi buckram to give it stiffening and ad justed to the head so that the seam
 come in at the center of the iron and back. The practical featur
 about this new tea cosy costume i that it may be easily removed an' dry-cleaned. whereas the more elabc rate costumes of this sort nearly al ways are useless when soiled.
