Along comes Christmas, each year
attended by bevy Of adorable break
fast caps always prettier than those of
other years. Here are two which will
solve at once the problem Of what to
give to the friend you hope to please.
The little cap at the top is a glori-
fed and frivolous version of the sun
bonnet. 1t is made of val lace edg-
Ing and insertion In a fiat medallion
shaped piece over the top of the head
and a little cape that hangs from the
back. A band of pink MORE ribbon Is
brought across the top Of the cap and
ties In the back at the nape Of the
neck. 1t is encouraged to be useful
and stay In place by the company Of
clusters of the tiniest chiffon roses.
A band Of hemstitched taffeta, edged
with lace and trimmed with zig-zag
band of little blossoms, makes the
other enticing cap. 1t fastens at the
side under bow Of narrow satin rib
bon. with snap fasteners.
