Four bolts Of each shade are required.
Measure off "a yards of one. pref
erably the darker ribbon, and tie two
loops with one end in each extremity

the ends of these pieces. With spool
wire fasten seven of these lengths to-
gether, using both shades chosen, and
fastening them together towards the
middle, but varying the lengths of the
ends. Fasten the other seven lengths
together in the same way.
The rosettes are to be made from
the bolts. II is not necessary TO cut
the ribbon until each rosette is finish

NEW USES FOR RIBBON

Thirty bright yellow stamens, a

thing in ribbon flowers. They tried

Then the ribbon flower bloomed

beauties. that make the windows of

used to be thought capable OF being
worn In just one way-as ribbons.
Now they have grown into a dozen
uses entirely distinct and apart from
that.

Now, in the general outburst In the
use of ribbons, they are no longer
knotted or bowed or wired into loops
for hat trimmings, but are shirred over
wire loops and form butterflies, from
which depend myriads of tiny bows.
The roses, buds, and leaves are so
cunningly devised that as they rise
from blue or pink stems they have a
quasi.natural appearance, and often
adorn a corsage in lieu of real flowers.

FASHIONS POSE

In new dinner dresses one notices
more than ever the tendency to make
the skirt very long. Sweeping trains
that absolutely wreck all chances at
moving about in the drawing room
are wound around the feet OF the fair
wearer, giving her the tall, statuesque
pose which is so much admired, says
the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The twisting OF the skirt about the
limbs is a fashionable fad and direc-
lions for doing It are thus given by a
modiste: Walk into the drawing room
and when you have reached your sta
ton, stand perfectly still a moment.
Then turn slowly around and the
skirt will twist OF its own accord. You
have now the fashionable statue pose
which commenced with Bernhardt and
has travelled into the world of fash
ion.

HOW WOULD
YOU LIKE SUCH
A TROUSSEAU =?

The American girl is certainly
breaking all records for the amount
of money spent upon her wardrobe.
One heiress has ordered as part OF
her rousseau a set of underwear of
seven pieces, the cost of which is 81
500. Another set of six pieces is to
cost $1,000.
The seven-piece set, including night
robe, founced skirt, drawers, even
stockings, and especially mahufactur-
ed corsets. is in the fuchsia pattern.
The lace. which is woven in a single
piece for each garment so that the de-
sign may not be cut or distorted, Is
encrusted on the fabric proper, which
is a sheer hand woven linen. There
are no plainly sewed seams, the va.
rious parts of all the garments are
hemstitched together, and the lace is
partly embroidered and partly hem
stitched to the linen.
The lace for the skirt founce Is
slashed up into the linen In varying
depths of from six to eighteen inches
and these triangular slashed pieces are
woven with the three or four inch
founce of lace at the bottom. so that
a continuous pattern of fuchsias Is
carried through them all. The linen
is lavishly embroidered in the fuchsis
design above and about the lace, ant
the same idea is carried out in every
piece, corset and hose included. The
body of the hose, of course, is of silk
but even this was especially woven foi
the purpose.

upon the Golden Rule, then, surely,
every hostess will remember that she
should do as she wants to be done by.
And, when she is selecting her silver.

will recall the admonition, do unto

good manners are shown by the way

the completed rosette to the middle of

bon firmly so that II will not allow the
rosette to slip. In this way 1t will not
be necessary 10 use needle and
thread.
Make a series Of six rosettes In all
in the same manner as described, fast

wire and tying to the foundation rib
bon. Tie firmly in each case. When
finished. take the lengths that have
been previously tied together and fin
ished with little bows and end at the
ends, and attach one bunch at each
side where the rosettes end, This gives
the cascade effect of ribbon. loops,
and ends down the front.
The bows of course. should vary In
length so that the boa, when complet
ed. will not look stiff and set.
II II is desirable to have the boa
darker, Ave bolts OF dark and three OF
light ribbon may be used.
In pink and white, with an effective
touch of green here and there, the
effect much resembles a garland Of
sweet peas. And as such II is charm
