ECCentriCitieS of
Summer SaShes
SasheS of Various Sorts Again in Vogue, but
They Are Far Removed from the Simple,
OId-Style Accessories
BY KATHERINE ANDERSON.

Each year brings to the summer girl
some dainty accessory which might be
hermed first aid to coquetry." One
wear the rage runs to fans, another to
parasols, and only last summer her
long strings of beads were used to en-
snare more deeply the unsuspecting
summer youth.
This year she carries her scalpS not
ON a string of beads, but on a sash.
For years the sash has been considered
old-fashioned. This season it is the pet
of the feminine world, and the sashes
of the summer girl are as numerous
and bewilderng as her personal
charms.
Ribbon is only one material of the
many from which sashes are fashioned.
Lace, tulle, velvet, chiffon, null and
combination of these materials, with
flowers and leaves of exquisite texture,
are seen swinging from crushed or
folded belts.
The peony sash is one of the newest
concets, and, to the woman who wears
pink is a joy forever 1t is made from
broad pink ribbon, and hangs in two
long ends almost to the hem of the
frock. A girdle of the ribbon encir-
Giles the waist, and is finished at the
back with a cluster of peonies made
entirely of ribbon in the various tints
of pink found in the natural blossom.
A large flower, with a few shower pc
tails, is tackled near each end of the
sash, to hang one higher than the 9TH
err On a gown embroidered or figured
in the peony shades this sash is partic-
ularly striking.
The widows Knot.
The widows knot is seen on smart
white gowns and adds a dash of style
which only black can give The ribbon
or velvet is carried about the waist and
ends in two stiff, tailored rosettes in
the center of the back. The ends fol-
low the folds of the skirt to its edge.
Another black sash of broad satin
backed velvet ribbon is frequently
worn with a white vole. Tiny lengths
of featherbone keep the narrow girdle
in place. and ample ribbon is allowed
for the double bow at the back. Sprays
of roses, either of white or blue satin
ribbon, are fastened among the folds
of the bow and are knotted at each end
of the sash. One full blossom, with
cluster of buds, constitutes spray.
The English Sash.
The English sash might be more ap-
propriately called "sashes," as it con-
the waist and fastened in front by
means of a buckle. Coming from I'M
der either side of the girdle over the
front OF the hips are broad panels of
satin ribbon, which hang fiat to the
fiounce of the skirt, where they are
finished with butterfly or looped bow
and an irregular end of the ribbon.
This sash is worn more by young girls
than by women.
The ivory white satin sash on
gown of black spangled and painted
net over white is effective, though a
trifle conspicuous in it's contrasts. The
long, knotted strings of satin are
caught here and there with white
ribbon rose. Green stems give the
only touch of color. A cluster Of white
satin rosebuds, with a suggestion of
leaves at the waist, completes this
sash.
Combined With Fichu.
The combination fichu and sash is
shown in transparent materials, such
as organdy, plain and figured chiffon,
batiste, null and plain and dotted net.
The fichu may be knotted across the
front of the frock and permitted to
fall to the foot of the skirt, or the
ends are crossed softly in the front
and then carried around in the back,
where they are tied loosely and softly,
and permitted to fall to the hem of
the dress in the back. They are FIVE
yards or more long.
Dotted and dented net sashes are
novel, and are seen on robes of lace,
and on the imported toilettes of finer
materials. The denied lace resembles
nothing so much as a net work COW
cred with tiny round tea crackers
denied and warped in the baking pro-
cess Lace sashes are broad and re-
quire no knotting except at the waist

are worn with gowns just bordering
on yellow.
LOuisine and Net Ribbons.
Lousne and net ribbons are much
worn with silk gowns and sashes of
Inquired chiffon or organdy are worn
with all-white frocks of plain organdy
or batiste. The pompadour ribbon,
