doir caps unblushingly call attention
to themselves as noteworthy. They
are examples of what the new laces
bring to morning caps in the way OF
attractiveness and grace. II these
laces and nets we're less supple, they
would not fall In such soft rufies, and
II they were too sheer they would not
make such successful plaitings and
hair coverings.
The cap at the left has a full soft
crown of all-over lace and a frill Of
lace about the face which widens to-
ward the back, where it covers the
neck. It Is adjusted to the head by
the elastic cord that is run in a casing
on the under side where the frill Joins
the crown. A few little roses of chif-
fon, Joined by long stems OF silk-cov-
cred cord, wander aimlessly over the
crown.
The cap at the right is made Of
fine net, having q broad panel oi
lace along the center Of the crown run
ming from front to back. The frill Il

Liberty in Sleeves.

There is a delightful liberty in the
realm of arm covering. To each arm
its sleeve is evidently the creed Of the
designers at the moment. If a woman
wishes to let an admiring public see
that she has been given the rare gift
of a lovely arm she may adopt the
Grecian shoulder drapery which
serves as a sleeve, but is careful not
to hide a fraction of the arm.
