It you are looking for mi afternoon gown that will do service for almost any of the Bemldress occasions whloh enliven summer afternoons and eve nings, and Is really a triumph as a visiting toilette, combinations of silk with transparent fabrics deserve your attention. In the costume pictured here such a combination is shown, em ploying taffeta and chiffon with tho happiest results. Voiles and laces, nets (and organdies when very sheer) suggest any number of combinations and great diversity iji style. The skirt in the costume shown Is mndo of dark blue chiffon decorated with bands of tho same shade in taf feta. It Is straight and round and cut to extend several Inches above tho waist lino on to tho bodice. It la shaped to the figure about the hips ''s. and waist and to the lower part of tho bodice by means of cords run in nar- r row tucks. These are drawn up, full- "vaKf B material anu forming a shirred r.vf yoke at the top of tho skirt, terminat" ing in a frill above tho waist lino. -, . This skirt is worn over a plain one of , -vvtaffeta. a uuimy uouicc oi jace or net or any of tho softly falling semltrnnsparont fabrics, worn with this skirt, and a corsage ornament, makes a pretty dance or dinner frock of'lt. The pretty, straight coat, with am ple sleeves finished with chiffon frills, Breakfast Caps, Simple and Otherwise yicre aro three of tho latest break fast or boudoir caps, one of them a familiar and simple typo, nnd two oth orsj'less simple, but having tho charm oftnovelty as well as beauty to recom (Jmjmd them. None of those .are too Mlifllcult to make for women who un derstand oven a little of needlowork, and tho pretty cap of point d'eaprlt net, pictured at tho loft of the group, might be successfully made by any novice In sowing. This cap la merely a circular piece of dotted net having a diameter of eighteen Inches. Tho edge is turned up In the tiniest of hems about one sixteenth of an Inch wide and over this a narrow edging of val luce Is stitched down. Two inches in from til 0 edge of tho lace, on the under sido of tho net, a nnrrow silk binding or Mas tapo la machine-stitched along both edges to the net. This forms a casing to hold an clastic band or rord that Is run through It, gathering tho not Into a cap. A rosette of satin ribbon is mounted at each Bido. Or, if preferred, a small cluster of chiffon roses or millinery flowers may bo used. At the top of tho group a cap Is ihown- made of shadow lace over chlf- fon, edged with a scant rufllo of mes caline ribbon about an inch wide. The Is open at the throat and finished thero with an organdie collar decorat ed with a little lino embroidery. Tho sleeves are elaborated with a . band of taffota above the elbow, fastened down with silk-covered buttons. But the touch of distinction which first catches tho eye la the bolt and hang ing end of silk, 'decorated with an embroidered pattern of the smallest beads in many brilliant but har monizing colors. They aro put on With the lntont of reminding one of the beadwork of the Indians, and are astonishingly effective. One may count upon a thrill of patriotism as a part of tho satisfaction in wearing this gown, not simply bocauso It is made of American fabrics, but be cause ita decoration is ah inspiration born in our own land. And notice how thq Idea Is carried out in the long and splendid single feather for which the little hat Is merely a support. How to Make a Bureau, Take three or four boxes; nail them together and line Inside with white paper. Take three yards white dot ted muslin and fell and tack it around tho top of the top box; cover top with towel or bureau scarf, nnd you have a very handy placo to put things, as well as a very neat-looking piece of furniture. crown and short capo are made of a Btrlp fourteen Inches long. At tho front two triangular pieces aro set on to form tho tUrnod-back points shown in tire, picture. Those are about five Inches deep A short clastic cord Is Inserted In a casing across tho back, and tho fullness at the front of the cap Is caught in tho plnln edges ol the twp-pointed pieces. Full -rosettes of four-inch satlu ribbon, with two ends, decorate this model at each side and finish a cap that la unusually bo coming. Tho third cap shown Is made of a wido shadow lace, edged about the front with a narrow lace of the same kind. The scalloped edge of the wide lace forma a capo falling to the Bhoulders, and the narrower lace makes a frill falling about tho face. An elastic band adjusts this cap also, and mcBBallno ribbon, caught at Inter vals about tho face, la finished with loops and hanging ends at tho back. Until you havo experimented with different modols In these pretty blt of femlnlno finery yon. will not know how becoming some of them aro. Moreover, they aro mado of American Inces, tho filmiest nnd softest' product of the looms that turn cotton fiber Into fabrics to wonder at, JULIA DOTTOMLEY.
