al. sorts of occasions-in bed, when
the early cup of tea is taken; in the
boudoir or dressing room, while let
tiers are being read and answered: in
the afternoon, in conjunction with a
picturesque tea gown. Pretty women
have discovered that the boudoir cap
at It's best is a particularly decorative
headdress and naturally they have
made their own OF 1t.
In a cap designed for Mile. Jeanne
Provost, who wore it with great sue
cess at a recent matinee, when she
was playing the part of a charming in
valid, the crown was composed Of
hand-painted chiffon which showed a
delicate pattern of blurred roses on an
ivory ground, writes a 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 vas made chiefly of rose Du
Barry chiffon. There was yelling of
white tulle which took the form of a
dong 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 were
worn; the ensemble was old world
and delightful.
Velvet Patches 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 discreetly powdered and she
always wears 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 chit
ION with a 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-
ed frilIs almost cover the hair in front
| 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 frills,
are also in great favor, and the same
may be said of little boudoir wraps
which look like gigantic fchus and are
made of Indian muslin.
With the exaggeratedly decollete
neeks 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
must again mention that scarfs of tulle
illusion are worn at all hours of the
day and with almost every kind of cos
.ume. In the evening. at the theater
these little transparent scarfs are ubi-
quitous: they are entirely becoming
Mile Cecile Sorel is the grande
dame of the Partisan stage. At the
Theater Francois she always plays the
roles of famous beauties, such as Nine
Du Barry. La Pompadour. etc. For
this is her type. And for the mon
DANES of Paris Mile Sorels gowns are
always things of vital Importance;
the celebrated actress understands the
art OF picturesque dress better than
any other woman of modern days.
Best Dressed Partisan Women.
The National theater OF France is
rich is artists, from the dress point of
view as well 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 magnifi-
cent and luxurious and exaggeratedly
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 I'M
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 In
Malines lace accompanied by a casa
quin of black chantilly which is vague
in form and infinitely becoming And
again in the second act her dress,
which is composed of charmeuse in
the delicate shade known as "nymphe,"
which seems white in certain strong
light, but which shows faint tints of
peach and faintest green. This robe
is yelled in Natter blue tulle and here
and there at unexpected points there
are deep red roses made of gauze.
Still another picturesque robe worn
BY this actress is made of fine white
MaIines lace with casaquin of silver
