Fascinating boudoir caps are mad.
by crocheting heavy silk thread in an
open design. They are shaped like
the caps made for infants. and fin.
ished with crocheted shell OF seal
lops about the edge. Ribbon is run
in them about the face and across the
back. 1t fits the cap to the head and
decorates It at the same time.
Crocheted hats are made Of silk
fiber, chenille, or wool. and are very
smart for motor wear for travelling
and for the street. Fine wire is used
in shaping them, and they are made
by professional workwomen who un.
derstand how to conceal the wire in
the crocheted stitches.

ionable and everyone is knitting or
crocheting or doing some sort OF
needlework, the evidences OF the

rections. The family, from baby to
grandma. revels in pretty things in
the way Of dress accessories, and the
house is decked out with fine spe-
cimens of needlecraft.
Among the most successful Of all
the articles knitted or crocheted, baby
bonnets, hats for little girls. and bou-
doir caps and hats for grown-ups tes-
ufy to the adaptability Of this kind of
work to headwear. Baby bonnets,
either knitted or crocheted OF silk
have long been among the coveted
luxuries that each mother manages
somehow to secure. They are very
durable and very beautiful. Crocheted
headwear is somewhat expensive, and
one must either have the time and
knowledge of the work required, to
make it, or be prepared to pay the
price which elegant, handmade things
will bring.
