" voiles, silk muslins, challi or any
other of the semi-transparent materi-
ais, are suited to the design for a
party gown such as that shown in the
illustration. Those fabrics that have
plain surface-that is, without print

OF scattered sprays of hand embroid-

corations are used on the thin figured
materials which may be preferred to

~ HE breakfast cap still basks in the
sunlight Of feminine favor, and as
long as it holds it's place of high es-
TEEN we may expect to find it de-
parting from the simplicity which
marked it's early days. From the COM
bination of pulled crown and falling
ruff1e 1t has excursioned into many
new fields. There are SO many varie-
ties of caps worn by the women OF
other countries that new sources Of in
SEPARATION will certainly not be hard
to find.
The Dutch bonnet is the source from
which the lace cap shown here Dor
rowed it's outlines. The pointed and
fiaring sides of the original have been
exaggerated in the copy. 1t Is made
of lace, one of the fairly heavy all
over patterns, although wide edgings
answer the purpose as we'll. The cap
is cut in two pieces. There is cir
Gle about six inches in diameter for
the crown piece and a shaped portion
for the front. This portion is wired
and set on to the crown with small
piping of satin. The edge is finished
with a little frill of very narrow val
lace.

bon, is used for the decoration of the
new arrival among breakfast caps.
This Is quite an original, touch. 1t is
sewed fat on the lace and at intervals
small chiffon roses, not larger than
an ordinary thimble, are set on the
cord.
There are several attractive new
models In breakfast caps that are
shown in the larger stores. One no
ticeable example has a pulled crown
of white chiffon with fine black brus-
sells net over 1t and a frill OF white
net with black lace. The combina-
ton of net and chiffon In two colors
or one color and white, has resulted
in very becoming and gay little head
pieces. Ribbons and chiffon roses are
the main dependence Of their makers
when 1t comes to choice of trim
ming.
However odd and pretty these new
caps, that are patterned after the ma
tional headdresses of the women over
sea, may be, the favorite breakfast
headdress will remain as it has been,,
a soft puff for the crown of the head,
and frill of lace about the face and
neck.

The skirt is longer than is the rule
in street dresses. The tunic is set on
to a fitted yoke and shows scant full
ness. The front of the coat is very
like that of the last Poiret blouse and
will be seen in the finest of blouses
for the coming season. 1t Is no re-

Its only decoration is narrow inser-
ton of French val lace at the top OF
the hem.
The easy-fitting blouse has set-in
sleeves, V-shaped neck and surplice
fastening at the front. Insertion like
that on the tunic is set in at each side,
forming a panel down the front and
back of the blouse. In these panels,
and in the side pieces, sprays of EN-.
broidery like those on the skirt ap-
pear. The arm's-eye is large and the
sleeves straight. The sleeves are fin
ished with hem having the insertion
at it's top and decorated with en-
broidered sprays. They are cut long
enough to allow little draping at the
elbow where the material is caught up
in two folds. The bodice is finished
with a turnover collar having a mar
row hem and insertion.
This little frock is worn over pet
ticoat having border of figured satin
ribbon about the bottom. There is a
crushed girdle of the same ribbon.
Each wearer selects the manner c
fastening the girdle which suits her
best. A small fiat bow at the back is
to be recommended for youthful wear
