"A Puritan bow. by the way, is made
without ends. merely loops. In the mid
die there is a tight little knot Just
two little fat loops and a knot in the
middle. A set of Puritan bows, made
of cream coIored satin ribbon lined with
blue satin, trimmed the front Of a
handsome bodice worn by Miss Alice
Roosevelt.
A very charming ribbon trimming
consists of a series of pretty bows, all
connected by links OF ribbon, and ter
minating in two wide ribbon ends This
trimming can be arranged down the
front of a three quarter coat or it can
be Lsed upon the front of a blouse. 1t
is one OF the neatest of ribbon trim
minCs.
a ribbon decoration that is finding
favor with smart dressers is the little
silk shoulder cape. edged with wide
silk ruffie, or with a series Of three ruff
fies. Another pretty trimming shows
a ribbon embroidery outlined upon a
little shoulder cape of cloth. And stiu
another has triple row of silk ribbon
rufhes around the sleeves And in this
connection it can be stated that there
are sleeves that consist Of these three
ribbon ruffies and nothing else. for the
sleeves are cut of at the elbow.
The ribbon flower is as popular as
ever. ViOlets, roses and chrysanthe-
NUNS are made of ribbon and are re-
produced so naturally that one is de-
ceived by them. The ribbon ViOlets ara
particularly pretty and are worn in big
punches upon the front of the corsage-
The big pink silk ribbon rose, scented,
with a chiffon center. is one OF the
prettiest of bodice and cOiffure trim
mings.
Fashions From England.
1t is seldom that the English give
us pointers on how to dress, yet there
are some little fads that are very Eng
lish and very pretty. The English, for
instance, are wearing wide velvet
stoles made out of red velvet and
green velvet. They are more like
boas, for they go around the neck and
hang down in front They are called
velvet necklaces. And as a finish,
there is a border of fur. The very
narrOwest band of Persian lamb, or OF
sable, or of a silver fox is placed
around the edge and upon the ends
there hang long tails This neck
lace is worn with a smashing big
muff to match.
Then there are wonderful fichus made
of strips of velvet and fur all cum
ningly sewed together. Nothing could
be smarter than these and nothing
more effective in carrying out dress
scheme. A boa or neck trimming OF
this kind is easily made by any woman,
for ii requires nothing more than a
knowledge of how to sew fur and this
is something that can be readily ac-
quired by any one with a taste for
needlework.
The fur AscOts are more worn than
ever, but this season one can buy them
tied. They are long and narrow and
shaped like an Ascot necktie. They
can be worn with or without a scarf
pin. The pin must be very large TO be
effective and the prettiest Ascots are
made Of ermine. mink, Persian lamb
and chinchilla, none Of them cheap
furs.
There come many fur trifes which
might be called furs and furbelows.
"One trunk" said a New York wom-
an, packing for a journey North. "fs
for my furs and furbelows. 1t takes
a trunk to hold them"
In the bottom of the trunk Law a
great long auto cloak of cloth lined
with cheap fur and bOrdered with sa-
BILE. Then there was a little short
smart coat of deerskin, loose and cut
like a pajama coat. And still another
fur coat lay in the trunk this one a
coat OF Persian lamb abundantIv
trimmed as to neck and cuffs with
ularly smart coat with its lining NJ
gun metal satin and it's WonderfuIIv
CAV collar and cuffs.
But in the top of the trunk Law the
fur furbelOws- There was a long white
stole Of cloth edged with narabort-
precisely like the old-fashioned fur coll
lars made of ermine, with a border Of
ermine tails: there was a long fluffy
fox, which was silver on the edge but
brown underneath, and there was a fur
boa made OF long black fur, very large
around in shape and slightly fattened.
And there were two or three tribes in
little fiat fur neck pieces, to be worn
with any blouse or coat
Nor was this all. for there were fur
strips to be put around the TOP OF a
nlSh-crowned hat, and there were strips
OF fur for the neck and for the belt

strips of fur outlining vest and bolero

these are among the frivolities OF the
season.
