plated rufles may be bought, and
range from twenty-five to fifty cents
yard already to sew on.
A band of soft messaline ribbons In
light blue, extends about the cap with
small fiat rosette at each side, This
Is made by gathering a quarter of a
yard OF ribbon along one edge. A lit
tie bunch Of pink rosebuds is perched
under the rosette, just where the ruff
fe joins the crown. 1t requires one
and half yards of ribbon for this lit
tie cap, such as may be bought for
fifteen or twenty cents a yard. Three
quarters OF yard of plating is a lit
tie more than is needed but is the al
lowance for one ruffle. One and a
third yards will easily make two ruff
fes

made OF coarse dotted net 1t Is
made In the same way and edged with
a ruffle of net having a finish of mar
row Val. lace. Under this ruffle a plait-
ing is sewed, finished with hem
stitched hem. Pink and blue satin rib
bon one inch wide is made into little
bows and mounted at each side Such
a little cap costs only fifty cents.
A lovely cap of spangled chiffon is
pictured in Fig. and this cap is also
very cheap in price. The chiffon is
light blue with little crystal dots over
the surface. A plain, thin net crown
lines the chiffon, to protect It. They
are bound with a thin, narrow satin
ribbon in pale blue. through which
the elastic cord is run. The ruffle is
made Of the same chiffon edged with
border of the ribbon. A little bunch
of pink moss roses and leaves is
sewed to the left side. This can ia
made In pink or light green or laven-
der or in all white. It requires al
most no time to make and is one OF
the prettiest of all. II one has time to
make the plated ruffles, the expense
Is lessened. But even buying It ready
made 1t only requires three yards to
make the single edging for four caps.
An average of seventy-five cents each
VIII cover the cost, when several CAPS
are planned to be made at one time.
Evening caps are more expensive.

pink satin ribbon set about the top of

and those of rich brocade make beau

made flowers. or small millinery flow
ers like the forget-me-not, are used in
trimming them. Rich laces are draped
In full puffs for crowns and lace edg-
ings fall about the face and over the
neck In caps that are worn with eve
ming dress. But, however grand. the
opera cap is not quite 80 sweet as the
little breakfast cap nor nearly SO use

ing, and anything that makes the
young day cheerful Is a Christmas
gift worth having.
you would have the shape of the Sec
tons for the inner covering of the
framework; cut from stout cotton
eight OF these pieces, allowing amply
for seams. Sew four pieces together,
and fit to half the framework, letting
seams come between ribs, not on
them; now sew the fifth piece to
the joined four, sew the sixth piece
to the Joined five, and so on until
framework is covered. Do not entire
ly close the last seam, sewing 1t only
one-third way up from bottom and
one-half way down from top, leaving
an open third. Make the outer cover
ing the same way, using white Christ
mas cloth having stamped on it ig-
ures Of Santa Claus. holly, bells. or
just plain red cloth.-Woman's Home
