Ribbon is worn on everything except tailor

fore the season is over. Sashes are sug-

probable that most of the round-waisted
summer gowns will have sash of ribbon
knotted about them somewhere. Some of
the ribbons for summer hat trimming have
thin silk tissue stripe and then stripe
of gold. Gismonda red thus combined with
tinsel makes a stunning combination.

quite accomplish that horror, they will at
least have their gowns trimmed with white
cloth or satin.

Here are two elegant examples of the white

1t is a fact that the French woman will
wear a white petticoat half a season with
one laundering-which she prefers to do
herself-and when at last it goes into the
tub it will be cleaner than an American
woman's skirt after two wearings on the
street, and that is why the American wo-
man prefers the colored silks and black
skirts. They like the knit silk vests and
the "aitogethers," too, because they are
lighter and make less bulk about the waist,
