Ribbon trimmings are to be both nn-
merous and costly and there will scarce
" be 4 limit to the ways in which the
bows and the furbelows tie ribbon roses

become thar special ribbon workers are
engaged IN making them and there are
dress artists whose whole work lies in
designing the ribbon decorations Of the

The new WAYS Of wearing ribbon are
most interesting, said one Of these work
ers. We make everything from scented
violets and perfumed ribbon roses to the
most elaborate waist trimmings and sash
designs
..One Of the simplest, though prettiest,
Of ribbon trimmings is the little ladder
Of ribbon bows which is arranged up the
front Of the waist. made one Of these
little ladders of bows out of black velvet
ribbon. Each one was about the size Of
4 little black butterfly And all were
made with mathematical precision, pre-
eisely alike. the same size, and finished
in the same manner. There were eight
Of them and they were used TO close the
front Of blue peau de sole evening

white satin with tiny gold buckle in
the middle Of each very much like a
slipper buckle These are also very ac-
curately made. The trouble with an am

.Brt the newest trimming of the year
in the ribbon line IS the knot of ribbon
which was described by the old-time nov
el.sts as a snood The heroines of other
days invariably wore a snood of blue
ribbon III their auburn locks, and the
belle of to-day also wears snood.
