NOVELTY IN MILLINERY

One of the real novelties in millinery for this season is a combination “tarn” and cap with a piquant visof reminding one very much military fatigue cap. The material use in the model is of black hatters' plush. The crown is full and gathered. Gray satin binding is used effectively as a trimming. A gray ( satin ribbon passing through a dia-%iond-shaped steel cut buckle sets off the hat very effectively. The visor of the cap, coming well down over the eyes, is edged wjth 9 ra y sa^*n binding. For motor wear this combination hat is unexcelled.

may be turned over to its original use when baby is ready for a crib. It pays bi get a good quality wicker, for it handles give away the contents will come to grief Select a good size, too, enopgh to accommodate an ordinary bed'pillow snugly fitted in for a mattress. The sidesshould rise hlgn enough above the pillow, on the sides to keep Master Baby safely ensconced. Line the basket with double layers of cotton wadding and after basting thi« in place cover it with pink, blue or white satin or cambric lining. The bottom of the basket should be put in last to cover the rough edges of the sides. Now the basket is reacjy for the third and last covering, which may be sheer muslin or point d’esprit or plain net shirred with a heading along the top to hide the top edge of the banket. It is a little troublesome to stitch this into place, but you soon learn to find the spaces in the woven wicker, and heavy thread and a carpet needle will do the rest. The pillow should have its ordinary white linen or cotton slip, which can be removed every day when the pillow is lifted out to air. A rubber and quilted mat will protect the pillow, and all can be frequently lifted and removed. The advantage of such basket is that the baby is protected from draft, and yet the basket is easily^carried from one room to another or to the porch if necessary. The outside of the basket is better left uncovered because it would soon get musty and dirty from usage, and the heavy willow is sufficiently ornamental in itself. If desired it can be painted white.
