Sashes, Belts, Bows, and Reyers
How to finish summer gowns ia
rather serious question; so often
Ihe prettlest gowns are completely
spoiled by the belt that is worn. The
muslin gowns are finished, as a
rule, without sashes. If sashes
are worn, they are made of
ribbon about two fingers in width,
and are trimmed with narrow ruch.
ings of chiffon; or else silk by the
yard Is taken and cut into sashes
with rounded ends, and these ends
trimmed with the ruching. There are
also some chiffon sashes to be seen.
Ihese are made of accordion pleat-
Ing, but are in two pieces-that is,
there are ends sewed on much wider
than the top part of the sash, more
closely pleated, and finished with
little ruchings of the same material.
The gowns hemselves-walking
gowns, reception gowns, etc.-have
only a very narrow finish to the
waist. When cloth gowns are fin |
ished off there is generally a very
narrow piece of bias cloth taken and |
stitched several times. This is at

to the skirt if the skirt goes over the
Walst-crosses in front, and fastens
with little buckle. The buckle can
De as elaborate as possible, or very
simple.
Black satin ribbon or black velvet
ribbon is used to finish off waists, but

white lace waists and white lace
gowns have white ribbons, and yerv
rarely sashes. To wear with the

bon belts. These are made of soft
peau de sole drawn into very small
buckle in front. Then there are the
oeIts OF leather in various colors, and
some especially pretty ones with
stltched edges. There, are, too, the
very looking belts made of
opanlst coins, or of the leather stud
ded with Spanish coins, together
with some metal belts and few tor.
tolse shells. These last are very {
warm, strange to say, and, like the
SILVER Delts, are rather uncomfOrt- {
aDle. They are very handsome, and Y
'f course extremely expensive.
Every day now seems to bring out
some new style of neck wear. Per- b
laps the prettiest fancies are those T
II lace tied in sailor-knot; they do {
lot tasten high into the throat, but t
ire put little below the stock col
ar. They wear much better when
hey are not tied every time, but are d
eWed tight to begin with. These +,
re worn with the different shirt q
waists, silk waists. and with the
waists of gowns. g
A pretty finish to the dark gowns
the dainty little bows of chiffon
ust two ends trimmed with chiffon
uchlngs. These finish the collar at
he throat; and then just at the bust
here is another little bow tied in the
