New IdeaC in Ribbonr.

There are more varieties Of ribbon this
season than ever before. The gold and
silver gauze which came out last fall de-
velops new possibilities in the way Of
embroidery and colorngs, and there are
new ideas every day.
Panne satin is one of the latest things.
1t comes in the softest pastel tints and in
the wide widths is used for soft belts and
sashes with long ends. One side of the
ribbon has the panne finish, the other IS
plain satin.
Crepe de chine ribbon for neckwear and
soft sashes is another pretty new idea
II is very soft and generally comes wide,
as it is crushed when wound about the
waist or neck. The rainbow effect is
very beautifully worked out in this crepe
de chine ribbon, one cage being pink. the
other green, and both shading to white in
the center
Gold threads run through satin ribbon
give a pretty effect. This combination is
much seen just now. Gold cords edge
these ribbons.
For wear with summer waists there is
a pretty silk ribbon rufiied through the
center like fine elastic.
Some Of the gayly-howered ribbons are
wide enough to make waists of. \ LITTLE
ribbon bolero over white waist is very
pretty.

reduction in the rate from 80 cents to 60
