With them aro pictures of a lace evening cap and a small cape edged with mara bou, which also belong among those modish accessories of evening dress that the homo dressmaker may under take with every chance of success.

It Is liked best in tho natural taupe color, but for evening wear white and the varied light colors are available. There are several patterns by which the velvet cap may bo made. A Btraight band about the head, with a scant puff forming the crown, Is sim ple and satisfactory. The band is made of crinoline or buckramette, cov ered with velvet -and lined with silk. Tho crown of velvet may be supported with crinoline, If necessary, but is often merely lined with silk. The marabou edge Is cewed to tho band about tho face. Foundations for' caps In other shapes are to be had ready made at tho milliners. In any of them the band or brim about the face Is to bo covered with a bias strip of velvet and a soft puffed crown, of scant full ness, set in. The muff Is made of puffs of velvet, wide but not full, shirred over small cord.

Tho blossoms are mounted on wire stems, very fine and flexible, and a big bunch of these light-colored blossoms In bouquets makes about tho loveliest dec oration for tho corsage that can be Imagined. Tho ribbon daisy, made of very nar row white satin ribbon, and small flat rosettes like them In pale colors are worn on tho laciest lingerie. Tho daisies, roues and zinnias, mounted on long stems, mako fino table decora tions, and with tho exception of tho rose are the best choice in ribbon llowers for that purpose. But tho makers of ribbon flowers nd ornaments aro so ingenious and Tho pointed evening cap is made of white satin that is brocaded with silver figures and edged with silvei braid. A frame of fine wire is needed as a foundation for this.

'Made in. white, gray or black aro shirt-waist holders which aro really narrow bolts, fastening with three clasps and attachments of rubber, They obviate tho necessity of holding the shirt waist with pins.
