A Pretty Theatre Hood.

There was a time when anything in the way of a woollen shawl or a lace scarf was considered good enough for a theatre headwrap, and when no one's imagination went very far beyond a knitted "fascinator." At the present time, however, there is plenty of variety in the way of theatre-hoods, and we give an illustration of a very dainty and charming, head-wrap which is both pretty and practical, and which ought to prove specially useful to those who live in the suburbs, and who have to travel in evening dress by tube, train, or tram, as it will afford a most effectual protection from cold, although it is so light in weight that it will not crush or disarrange the hair. It is carried out in soft satin, and made with a very full crown, finished in front with a straight band of blade satin ribbon, and and drawn in on a band of elastic at the back. On either side there are rosettes of pale blue satin ribbon.

A pretty little shoulder-cape In the same material lends a great additional attraction to this hood. It is most becomingly draped and outlined with a \ rery dainty floral embroidery, representing clusters of pink wild roses and green leaves and worked in very narrow satin ribbon. This hood would look equally pcetty carried out in silk gauze, chiffon, or in net. adorned with embroideries worked in coloured silks instead of ribbon.
