THIS hood is the novelty of the season, and while it is both pretty and becoming, it is very simple and easily made. Take three-quarters of a yard of scarlet sack flannel, the finest and most brilliant color that can be procured. Cut enough off one side to make it perfectly square ; round one corner, as seen in the diagram ; then have it pinked all round in small scallops, which, you will find, will produce a very beautiful effect. From B to B at about two inches from the edge, sew a casing of narrow ribbon on the under side, also one diagonally from A to A. Run a narrow ribbon in the casings, drawing the one from B to B to fit the face. Fasten it. The one from A to A is to be drawn to suit the head. If preferred, the hood may be lined with silk as far as the line A A. The point which represents the cape is better not lined.
