bon an inch and half wide set dag.
0nally all over the front Each edge
Of the ribbon has narrow velvet
piping the black forming marked
contrast. Extending over the shout
ders in bretelle fashion are two folds
two and half inches wide at the top
and narrowing down at the belt line
On these are set small white lace me-
dallions- Another fold is placed down
the center, and as these folds are above
the lines of ribbon the effect is ex-
tremely fine. The sleeves are bishop
shape, trimmed to match the waist.
Quite number of the new waists
have just few tucks along the shout
der part of the front and the rest in
the form Of shield, with a double
breasted effect. These are particularly
pretty for the young. Few Of them
now have the comfort piece, or short
skirt, as the waist is finished off with
belt sewed to the waist, or it is so
arranged that one Of the new silk belts
covers the edge completely. This dou-
bic breasted effect is shown to great
advantage in velvet waist. Along
the edge of the two folds there were
rows of fine silk braid in cashmere
colors, and along the left side there
was a vine Of raised embroidery done
in the new silks, which show all the
beautiful colors of autumn foliage. The
SILK seems to have a dozen colors all
In one length, and as the worker sews
the different colors seem to blend and
the foliage or flowers take the COR
geous tints Of nature.
This is almost like the portieres
which industrious ladies are now bust
~ making out of silken straps. They
ind some new fad every year or so and
work very hard at 1t, only to throw it
aside after the novelty has worn off
But the weaving Of these portieres is
taking great place in domestic econo-
my. The scraps Of silk are cut about an
inch wide and not more than four TO
SIX inches long. They are sewed to-
gether and rolled into balls and then
sent to the weavers, who make q thing
OF beauty out Of 1t. as the fabric holds
all the rich colors OF silk and ia soft
ana harmonious. think It takes three
pounds Of silk scraps to make one DOR
there. Old pieces and black ones are
useful to mix in with the others
mention this as the fad Is extending 80
rapidly that what may say may be OF
real service to would be workers In This
new RAD, but let the men hide all their
neckties.
