~ ARIS.-The success of the boudoir
- cap may be said to be phenom-
B email. 1t has been adopted by wo-
men Of all ages and 1t is worn on
ell sorts of occasions-in bed, when
the early cup Of tea is taken; In the
boudoir or dressing room, while let
ters are being read and answered; In
the afternoon, in conjunction with a
picturesque tea gown. Pretty women
have discovered that the boudoir cap
at Its best Is particularly decorative
headdress and naturally they have
made their own of it.
In cap designed for Mile. Jeanne
Provost, who wore it with great sue
cess at recent matinee, when she
was playing the part of charming in
valid, the crown was composed Of
hand-painted chiffon which showed a
delicate pattern of blurred roses on an
ivory ground, writes correspondent
Of the Cincinnati Enquirer. The frills,
which fell over the hair, were of plain
white chiffon, and length of black vel
vet ribbon was arranged In little loops
all round the crown, with full rosette
at one side.
The tea gown with which this cap
was worn was made chiefly of rose Du
Barry chiffon There was yelling of
white tulle which took the form of
long tunic and at the waist, thrust into
the velvet ribbon ceinture, there was a
cluster of roses in the same shades
as those painted on the crown of the
cap. At the left corner of the mouth,
and also on the right cheek near the
eye, patches of black velvet we're
worn; the ensemble was old world
and delightful.
Velvet Patches Popular.
These velvet patches are rapidly be-
coming craze. They were introduced
some months ago by beautiful Pari-
sian woman who makes specially of
her lovely white hair. She Is not in
reality very gray, but at night she has
her hair discreetly powdered and she
always wears patch or two.
Our sketch shows boudoir cap of
another order. Here you have genu-
me Marie Antoinette shape, and the
trimming belongs to very much the
same period-a conventional wreath of
roses made entirely Of pale gold chif-
fon with velvet bow In dull shade
of heliotrope at one side. very low
down. The cap itself is made of fine
lace In the old yellow shade and pleat-
cd frills almost cover the hair in front.
I have seen some delicious coates
made to accompany these dainty bou-
doir caps; and these coatees can be
worn over plain skirts of soft satin,
crepe de chine or crepon. Tulle
coates, bordered with pleated frills, |
are also In great favor. and the same
may be said of little boudoir wraps
which look like gigantic f1chus and are
made of Indian muslin.
With the exaggeratedly decollete
necks short sleeves are worn in the
house. Sometimes the arms are COW
cred with fine lace mittens, but far
more often they are left bare, save for
a yelling of tulle Illusion. Here l
must again mention that scarfs of tulle
Illusion are worn at all hours of the
lay and with almost every kind of CO.'S
tune. In the evening, at the theater
.hese little transparent scarfs are ubi-
luitous; they are entirely becoming.
Mile. Cecile Sorel is the grande
lame of the Partisan stage. At the
rheater Francois she always plays the
'oles Of famous beauties, such as Nine.
ou Barry, La Pompadour, etc. For
his is her type. And for the mon
LANES of Paris Mile Sorel's gowns are
Always things of vital Importance;
he celebrated actress understands the
'rt of picturesque dress better than [
my other woman of modern days.
Best Dressed Parlslan Women.
The National theater of France Is {

lressed women In Paris, each in her
wn individual way, for Nine. Bartet's
oilettes do not resemble in style those I
4 Mile. Sorel. The latter exploits to 1
erfection everything that Is magnifi- s
ent and luxurious and exaggeratedly 1
picturesque. Nine Bartet on the {
ther hand Is an ideal model for the q

ectly dressed at all times without un- Z

In the piece 'Youloir" Mile. Cecile I

'hich might easily be turned into c
ieal tea gowns-for example her .
linging robe of ivory tulle yelled In /
