Introducing a New Boudoir Cap

The girl who is pretty enough, or has the poise to carry oft extremes of style, may go to any length she likes in her Inconsequential little fineries, to be worn within her own four walls. Certainly the new boudoir caps, just now beginning to blossom in the shops, in anticipation of autumn weddings and the holidays, will delight the maid who is looking for unusual things. Designers seem to have searched the wide, wide worid for inspirations—and they have brought many captives home to Rome. There is the coolie hat from China, translated into lustrous ribbon and lace, the Dutch cap, the head band that is a bequest of old Greece, the visor cap, suggesting a jockey’s headwear and the oriental cap with lace that covers the eyes, which must have come from India or Arabia or otherwhere homes of veiled ladles. It is shown in the picture, made of pink crepe georgette laid in folds and forming a sort of hood. It is bordered with lace, with a fine wire set in a hem along its lower edge and a strand of pearl beads outlining both edges of the lace. . F 7 The cap is merely a straight piece of the crepe laid in folds, tacked to place, that adjust it to the head. At each side strands of pearl beads in loops of graduated length provide the proper' decoration for this new arrival in the gay company of boudoir caps. While these new ideas in caps are attracting enraptured attention, caps like that at the right of the picture go on selling. This is of crepe de chine and cream colored net, edged with lace and embellished with frills of baby

ribbon set on the ne t. At each side there are small, simply made ribbon flowers. These caps are made in all the gay, light colors and are as popular as ever.t
