Tango Cap for Wear at Popular Dance

CAPS for we/tr at the various dancing functions which are furnishing exercise for the younger set —and all the other sets —in the social world just now, are among the several dress features that the fad for dancing has emphasized. Just “why a cap” for dancing is not apparent, but the caps are. A pretty cap, made of alternating rows of ribbon and lace, is pictured here, and is a type of the greater number of the caps which are worn. These caps are made of all sorts of fancy laces—the metal laces among others —and of tulle and silks. Ribbons, beads, jeweled bands, and embroideries help out in their construction. The ribbon used for the cap shown In the picture is about three inches wide and is in one of those reddishyellow tones which are classed as the “Tango color.”. There is a rosette with long hanging ends of satin ribbon in the same color. The ends are finished with a bow which ornaments and weight* tjiem. A covered disk made of the wider ribbon finishes the cap at the center. No less a potentate in the realm of Fashion than Paul Poiret designed, the daring gown and cap for the din-

her-dance, shown In the other picture. There is a straight-hanging underskirt and an overdress on v the lines of the "’lamp-shade” tunic, of which this particular designer is so fond. But It is the cap that invites attention. It is a close-fitting affair covered with beads. The design is daring and the wearer must be able to "carry It off.” The cap terminates in a little extension at the back which supports a long, curling peacock feather without the “eye.” Such a cap demands an unusual costume. Altogether a dress and cap of this kind are bound to be somewhat sensational. The cap of ribbon and lace is a modest design which will look well with the average dancing frock. This last, by the way, Is to be gay and frivolous in light colors and made up with as many furbelows as the wearer likeß. Among theue the girdle it not to be forgotten.
