Bows and Flowers.
Perhaps the most effective urna-
mentation is that consequent on the /
employment of ribbon bows, 10 say
nothing OF the coquetti.h belt to
mach. These bows are placed any,
where and overyw here and the re-
suite are as charming as can be.
And yet, as il in perversity we con-
staniiy see the ribbon bow or tie at
the throat discarded in order TO give
place TO single large flower or
Fnnoh OF small oLes az the case may
be. Bunches of flowers are indeed
q notable featurein the outfit If
Saratoga belle. They are worn par
eccetlence at the waist on the left
side, but as | have said. they give
finish at the neck, or sometimes
smaller boquet or single flower is at
the throst while an addition of tho
same kind, but larger, is at the
waist. Daisies are the rage, but as
change we see pond lilies, crushed
roses or violets, nor let it be forgot
ten that although artificial lowers
are WORT, yet the natural are most
artificial. IT'S an II wind that blows
nobody any good, so the little boys
are making fortunes by selling bon
quets or single pond Lilies.
