Taffeta Motor Bonnet.

Quaint and coquettish, yet emi.<eatly practical, is the newest thing in motor headgear. It Is made of softtexWred taffeta, and in shape it most nearly resembles the puffy , crowned caps worn by infanta not so many years ago. A two-inch broad band in straw, fitting smoothly about the head and coming well over the brow, does duty as a brim, rod to its upper edge is attached a SHk crown that is puffy and crushable booking because its plaits are many an*l deep. Pipings of taffeta finish both edges of tbb straw band, and to sides, directly over the ears, are attached huge choux in silk. These unfold into two long streamers, which will swathe the throat and shoulders if necessary. A similar motor ha# may he developed in the heaviest quality of chiffon, providing that ita crown portion la lined with silk. Many women prefer these, . as one of the roaette-loosened streams can also be used as a face veil.
