cluding 12- to 15-inch yellowish lace. which
was gathered on 10 the ends; these ends
were left slanting, as the edge OF the SIX
came, when the bias cut was made.
TO make a handsome tie of this style
requires a yard of black moire antique
silk cut into four bias strips and sewed
together yard of deep lace Will nnish
the two ends. This was the prophet. az
il were, of the host of bows that encircle
the throats and nestle under the pretty
chins of half the girls i'm New York
It's the funniest kind of an epidemic,
for once this bow appeared. 1t required
precisely six days for it to he duplicated
thousands Of times. 1t only shows how
popular fashion spreads
This black MORE tie was 10 put around
the throat and tie In a bow-knot of two
short loops and two very long ends.
Sometimes the loops are half az long
when tied as the ends. but best form is
short loops and ends hanging TO the
waist or below. and the tie is worn OUT
side the coat or cape.
IcHARNING BLACK BoWs MADE AT
HOME.
Right here II should be said that any OF
these bows can be easily made at home
with comparatively little cost for a whole
set designed for both outdoor and in
door wear
The black and white are especially In
tended for the street. and there are many
styles in them. Everything, however,
seems to be made of moire
An easy way is to take yard ana
three quarters of wide molre antique sash
ribbon Slant the ends and frill on white
or cream-tnted lace, or If preferred, wide
black lace for the ruflie.
Another style Is of narrow ribbon or SILK
cut on the straight. Both ends are notch
cd and heavy white guipure lace about
three inches wide is sewed on without
any fulling Sometimes n row OF narrow
insertion is laid on the edge TO cover the
sewing. or If the tie is all black. a jet
spancle band is used for that purpose.
BY a real dspensation there is made n
bow which is fastened to the omnipresent
collarette band. which has prevailed for
some months and is likely 10 reign still
longer. In the case high neck-band is
covered with the molre and hooks be-
hind. while the bow itself Is attached
TO the front permanently.
THE SWELLEST ARE WHITE.
There are some extraordinarily effective
scarfs OF pure white MORE antique cut
crossway and finished with very deep
lace rufiles on the ends. In reality these
are the swellest creations in bows.
It now looks as If there would soon be
the same distinction In the feminine world
between "made" bows for the street. and
scarfs to tie that there is in gentle
mems neckties; and that while the made
bows in black moire are handiest, they
are likely TO be patronized by the great
mass of women who hunt for bargains
and follow where other women point the
way.
THE BOW IN COLORS.
Many women have not hestated to adopt
colored silk or gauze foundations for street
wear, and a pale yellow or corn-colored
molre silk Is worn a great deal in the
scarf or tie.
In gauze all colors. and especially blue.
corn-color, and white, are made up with
collarette of the same color.
There is also disposition to use large
buckles on the collarette, and these are
gaudy with enamel or paste-stones
A pretty bow to brighten Il dark frock
or wear in the evening was entirely Of
cream-cclor lace over pale pink silk. 1t
was decidedly different from anything
else seen. Instead OF loops and ends four
large loops, arranged two on side. were
attached TO the color-band with an en-
pire buckle OF gold and enamel The loops
were laid fiat and well caught in place,
and really looked more like one fan of
lace and pink silk than four loops.
An exceedingly Quakerisb affair was of
pure white chiffon over dead-white silk.
