have discovered that the boudoir cap
at its best is a particularly decorative

In a cap designed for Mile. Jeanne
Provost, who wore 1t with great sue
cess at a recent matinee, when she

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 a
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 let corner of the mouth,
and also on the right cheek near the
eve. patches OF black velvet were
worn: the ensemble was old world
and delightful.
Velvet Patehes Popular.
These velvet patches are rapidly be-
coming a 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 disereetly powdered and she
always wears a patch or two.
Our sketch shows boudoir cap of
another order. Here you have genu-
inc Marie Antoinette shape, and the
trimming belongs to very much the
same period-a conventional wreath Of
roses made entirely of pale gold chif-
ion with a velvet bow in a 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-
ed frills almost cover the hair in front.
7 have seen some delicious coates
made to accompany these dainty bou-
doir caps; and these coates can be
worn over plain skirts Of soft satin,
crepe de chine or crepon. Tulle
coates, bordered with pleated frilis,
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 decoiiete
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

must again mention that scarfs OF tulie
illusion are worn at all hours OF the
day and with almost every kind OF cos
tune. In the evening, at the theater
these little transparent scarfs are uDi-
Quitous; they are entirely becoming

Best Dressed Partisan Women.
The National theater of France is
rich is artists. from the dress point OF
view as we'll as from the point of view
Of dramatic art. Mile Sorel and Nine
Bartet are incomparably the two best
dressed women in Paris, each In her
own Individual way, for Nine. Bartets
toilettes do not resemble in style those
of Mile. Sorel. The latter exploits to
perfection everything that is magnif-
cent and luxurious and exaggeratediy
picturesque Nine. Bartet on the
other hand is an ideal model for the
society woman who wishes to be per
fectly dressed at all times without IN
due eccentricity.
In the piece "Vouloir" Mile Cecile
Sorel wears some charming robes
which might easily be turned into
ideal tea gowns-for example her
clinging robe of ivory tulle yelled II
