CHARMING TEA JACKET

MODEL THAT 13 NOT AT ALL DIF* FICULT TO COPY. Almost Any Material Will Serve, able —Matinee Cap May Be Worn With it. Here is shown a charming little sacque tea or dressing jacket which is very easy to ihake. This is cut full in a cape-like manner, the armholes being made by merely catching the hem -of the garment under the arms. This might be made of any material on hand of the washing variety preferred. It would be delightful in heavy broderie Anglaise of an open pattern, lined with pale blue or pink silk with a kilting of the silk to border the edge. In a patterned tussore or flowered washing silk it would look equally well, or even in some warmer material, as cashmere, on which a pattern might be worked, it would be serviceable and attractive. The frilling should be in the Bame shade at the predominant color in the pattern, or if in white, the same as the contrasting lining. Worn with the jacket is a charming, little cap-in embroidery and lace, finished with satin ribbon. These little caps, made in the filmiest of lace, net .or embroidery, are becoming more and more popular, and once their uses are appreciated, this is easily understood.

For hotel wear they are almost Indispensable, where the early cup of tea or breakfast is brought into the bedroom, before the hair is dressed. The cap is simply slipped on the head and covers a multitude of sins in the way of uncolffed tresses. It is, incidentally, most dainty and becoming and quite easily manufactured at home. One is apt to regard such et ceteras as superfluous, but the really dainty and artistic woman will readily seize the opportunity of looking her best at the most trying moments of the day, by such accessories as are within her means. To our list of boudoir requirements, therefore, we must certainly add the boudoir cap, for it has so well proved that its charms are permanent and that it means to stay.
