 CAPUCHIN

HOOD.

BY MRS. JANE WEAVER.

THIS exceedingly comfortable and cozy hood may readily be made by strictly following the accompanying diagram. For material, cashmere, flannel, or silk, may be used ; or to make a very pretty and dressy hood for the opera, use sky-blue, or rose-colored Florence silk, covered with black dotted lace ; edging this with a black trimming lace, instead of the velvet ribbon seen in the design, which is the most effective finish for the cashmere ones. The one-half of the head-piece is given, and denoted by the dotted lines in the diagram, where the number of inches is correctly given for the half of the head-piece. The half of the

cape is shown by the straight lines, and number of inches given. Follow these explanations and the diagram, and you cannot fail to have a well-fitting hood. It is always best to cut out of some old muslin, and fit to the size of the head. In the front piece, where the shotr parallel lines are seen around the face, slits are to be cut and worked in button-hole stitch, for the ribbon to pass through, which draws the front to fit the face ; they are two inches apart, and sixteen in all around the entire front-by that we mean sixteen groups, two together, as seen in the design. The whole is very pretty as well as useful. 381
