bon movement. "The Econo-
mist" early last fall pointed out
that something was brewing on
the other side in ribbons. That
something has developed itself
in the great use Of ribbons by all
the first class milliners of Paris
on their most artistic hats, not
incidentally, but absolutely as
the central point and necessary
part Of all hat trimming.
Ribbons and flowers, with a
touch of lace, are the compoments
OF the majority OF all artistic
productions that are being shown
at this moment.
In addition to this, ribbons for
neckwear, neck ribbons to be
worn with low-neck dresses,
ribbon sashes. ribbon trimmings
for white lingerie costumes, and
many other interesting uses
which the new styles have
brought forward, conduce to a de-
