SMOKING - CAP.

BY MRS. JANE WEAVER. THIS is one of the very prettiest designs we have seen for a Smoking-Cap. It is made of cloth or velvet, and ornamented with fine silk braid, gold cord, and embroidery. Cut out the top piece about three inches less in size than that made by the circumference of the border ofthe cap. Fit the lower part or border to the size of the head. Ornament as seen in the design, (any other pretty braiding pattern may be used. ) Line with silk slightly wadded, full in the border to fit the center- piece. Our pattern calls for emerald green velvet for the cap itself. The center of the waved vine is of gold cord, as also the little pattern in the or with colored floss silk or crimson. The boulower part. The leaf-like pattern, crossing the quets in silk embroidery of black-and-white gold cord, may be done either in fine silk braid, silk exclusively.
