SaShes Of some sort are indispensa bic
accessories in the faShiona bic wardrobe
of the moment. If the gown is of null,
mOuSSellne, chiffon, liberty silk or
similar stuff, the sash may be of the

trlnged ends, or it may consist of up
standing loops and trailing ends or of
roSette of many puffs If the mate
rial is chiffon or liberty satin a cluster
of artificial flowers is caught carelessly
near the end with charming effect. This
is a particularly pretty fancy if the
gown be, as so many of the party frocks
fetal flowers.

lends becoming glow to the face
