Show PRETTY BONNET TO ADORN THE SMALL MAIDEN IT IS a delight to make the pretty little lit-tle bonnets and caps which small daughters and little sisters look so adorably sweet in, and it is by no means difficult. Here is one made of chiffon taffeta silk, with plaited ruffles of moussel-leine moussel-leine and lace. The puffed crown is simply a circle of silk about eighteen inches in diameter, with rows of shirring at the edge. This is sewed to a narrow covered head band or bandeau, bound ' with pin shirring wire. Underneath the band the ruffles are placed aft3r being gathered into ample fullness. The knife plaiting may be made of the same silk as the crown I? j,, a. and need not be hemmed at the edge. It is poised under the lace. By way of trimming, a narrow ribbon rib-bon ruching is placed about the crown and a rosette of baby ribbon with hanging ends is placed at the side. Ties of ribbon about three inches wide complete this pretty piece of headgear. Bonnets of this kind are made u? in all the colors that children wear, and are very practical for almost every season of the year. Tiny boquets of fruit blossoms, little June oses, forget-me-nots, and little daisies ire added. Flowers and ribbons are if all things the best for children's aiilinery. When made of the darker colors, as brown or tan, with white or cream lace ruffles, bonnets of this kind are quite durable.
