A domestic cyclopædia of practical information ... al, fold it bias, making two tri-angular pieces, then gather it along this diago-nal, and raise one-half over the head, the pointcoming upon the forehead, while the other isdrawn around the neck as a pointed cape. No. 3. This pattern is the same as No. 2,except that it is cut bias, and the crown issmaller in the lower part. No. 4. This is a pattern much used for chil-drens caps. It is cut in two pieces, and the frontis half the breadth of the cap. The crown, cutthe straight way of the material, follows theline from g, and is gathered into the front, 78 CARAMEL CARBUNCLE being much more full below than near thetop. (Fig. 2.) The first of these patterns repre-sents the crown very large, and the front cor-respondingly reduced. The front may almostdisappear and become only a sort of binding toretain the gathers of the crown. The latter iscut rounding, and the double line marked?? gatheriiii^ in the pattern is left for the backof the neck, while the rest of the crown is gath- Cr<nwt. ered into the front and must have a third morelength than the space of the front upon whichit is to be gathered. The second pattern, in-dicated by the scalloped edge, representssimply a fauc/ion, having no crown what-ever. In the construction of these caps, many va-rieties may be introduced in the size of thecrown and of the front, beside those we haveindicated. When the cap is made in one piece,a front may be simulated by ruches of lace orribbon. Again, the crown and front may beseparated half way up, the crown be cut some-what longer than the front and gathered uponit, and the seam be hid by lace arranged in ac-cordance with the general style of thecap. Asa _ rule, it should be remembered, that thetrimmings of a cap should be always more andmore simple as the wearer grows older; andthat thread lace and blonde are more suited toalmost any complexion than artificial flowers,or glittering bead-trimming. *^-^^-^^-MBL.—A dark brown subs
