of these little squads are employed all

made for this purpose is a peculiar
composition, made of the powder OF

We are likely to have a reign of the
sash again. They are being worn n
great deal in London, and not few
of them are seen here. The costume
worn by Miss st. John in the second
act of 1.-The Geisha," at Days, shows
most remarkable effect in sash ar
rnngements, the large one she wearc
covering almost the whole of the front
of her skirt. A London fashion paper
declares:
''Sashes fall from the waist to the
hem on many of the winter skirts,
whether made for day or evening
wear, and they appear to be carelessly
tied, starting from loose bow. This
is the general treatment. The new
est is the Vatican sash, coming be-
tween the shoulder blades and thence
descending TO the feet, combining the
grace of the Vatican plait with the
sash, which is always great addition.
For these several purposes there is a
liberal choice OF ribbons in stripes,
especially velvet and silk combined,
or in checks, which include some un-
usually bold tartGns, and i'll plain rich
peau dc sole OF the vivid red tones
which are so becoming and often so
delightful an addition to winter dress. !"
