1t is the privilege of women to wear
all sorts of pretty accessories of dress,
and there are all sorts of airy and al
Turing fabrics that inspire them to
make these luxuries of apparel. Laces
and ribbons, nets and metallic gauzes,
and other transparent materials
are translated into neckwear, head
wear, and other finery that bespeaks
the dainty woman. Interest in these
things is more keen than ever when
the holidays get near. Anything that
promises an easily made and pretty
gift is welcome.
The breakfast, or boudoir cap, has
more than prettiness to recommend it.
|. Is cheerful and most becoming bit
of finery that any woman may own,
and is always an acceptable gift, like
a pretty pair Of slippers. Besides the
boudoir cap there are those for trav-
cling and those that are worn at
night, and the most essential cap OF
all-the busting cap. This last one
is made of washable cotton finished
with a ruffie of the material. Travel
ing caps are made of washable silk
or of dark colors not easily soiled.
They are usually gathered over elas-
tic cord or fulled on a ribbon run
through a casing about the edge of the
crown. The ends are drawn through
slash in the casing and tied in
bow. This allows the cap to be
fiattened out when it is pressed.
The picture shows group of three
breakfast or boudoir caps. Two of
them are of lace and one of net and
lace combined. A wide net top lace
forms the body of the first cap. The
embroidered edge is turned back
about the face and the straight edge
is gathered into a narrow lace inser-
ton. This insertion borders circu-
lar piece at the back, forming the
crown. The lace is extended into a
tab, which hangs under bow of soft
satin ribbon, at the back.
The second cap is very simply con-
structed of band of shadow lace
edged with val, and pulled crown OF
net with frill of net across the back
at the neck. The lace band is extend

hands, and was worn by a woman
who stood for the last thing in fash

DIFFLEY TRIAL
NEARING FINISH

With no direct evidence having
been offered that Mrs. Bertha
Diffley ever committed secoL d.
degree assault on three-year-old
Clarence Hall, the taking OF tes-
timony ceased this afternoon and
arguments began.
The state was prepared to urge
on the jury the bruised condition
Of the body, the alleged admis-
sions which Mrs. Diffley has
made of whipping and striking
the child and her alleged dislike
of the. child as circumstances
which were sufficient to prove it's
case. The lack of direct evidence
was admitted, but it was empha-
sized that even q certain amount
of circumstantial evidence was
sufficient to convict.
The defense was prepared to
argue that the state had failed to
prove Its case beyond a doubt, and
that Mrs. Diffley already had
suffered between four and five
months Imprisonment.
DR.. G. ]. Brobeck testified to-
day that the bruises and wounds
on the body might have been
caused by falling or rough play.

WAR GRINDS ON,
BUT NO ONE WINS

LONDON, May 20.-Alolg the
western line, both the Germans
and allies claim unimportant ad-
vantages at various points, but
neither side makes any preten-
ton to a victory of Significance.
In the east, the Germans and
Austrians are still advancing.
The Russians claim to be re-
treating for strategic purposes,
and even say that In a few tests
of strength they have been able
to check the advance of the in
vaders. There are 100000 men
in the Austra-German advance.
Around the Dardanelles, the al
lies seem to be making some pro-
gress, but as yet they have taken
no really vital positions. Much
effective work has been done by
bomb dropping on Turkish howit-
GERS by the British airmen.
