New Idea in Breakfast Caps

THE breakfast cap still basks in the sunlight of feminine and as long as it holds its place of high esteem we may expect to find it departing from the simplicity which marked its early days. From the combination of puffed crown and falling ruffle it has excursioned into many new fields. There are so many varieties of caps worn by the women of other countries that new sources of inspiration will certainly not be hard to find.

The Dutch bonnet is the source from which the lace cap shown here borrowed its outlines. The pointed and flaring sides of the original-have been exaggerated in the copy.

There id a circle about six inches in diameter for the crown piece and a shaped portion for the front This portion is wired and set on to the crown with a small Trirrtw* rtf b»tin The edge is finished vs rnrr ■ a—nu uni lace A satinvcovered cord, instead of rib-

It Is sewed flat on the lace and at intervals small chiffon roses, not larger than an ordinary thimble, are set on the cord, j There are several attractive neW models ih breakfast caps that are shown in the larger stores. One noticeable example has a puffed crown of white chiffon with fine black brussels net over it and a frill of white net with black lace. The combination of net and chiffon in twq colors or one color and white, has resulted in very becoming and gay little headpieces. Ribbons and chiffon roses are the main dependence of their makers when it comes to a choice of trimmihg. • ■ t . However odd and pretty these new caps, that are patterned after the national headdresses of the women OTOr■ea, may be, the favorite breakfast headdress will remain as it has been,, a soft puff for the crown of the head, the face and
