dashing decorations, caught in The centre with a
decorative centre; jet cabochon is smart for
this purpose. Several Of the resettes are massed
together on one side of the hat, like two sun flow
ers with tilted quilts adjusted behind them, so as
to relieve the certain fairness that is sure death to
fashion this summer.
Another idea is to employ narrow ribbons about
two inches wide So that they form a succession
of overlapping rose petals This treatment is al.
ways carried out in fan-like effect directly in
front or slightly to one side Of the crown.
Realistic roses Of plain colored satin ribbon,
combined with rose buds or maiden hair fern,
form a most attractive decoration. These roses
show to good advantage either on small hats with
large beehive crowns or the larger hats Of leg

MILLINERY WITHOUT RIBBONS
\ Of-ribbons in millinery parlance there is much

At least three-fourths Of the hats have the
inevitable trimming of ribbon, and the smartest
advance models straight from the hands Of ex-
pert Partisan miliners ardently proclaim it's tri-
umph.
Bows are nothing this summer If not large,
aggressive affairs. Some are wired and stand up
right like sentinel, others laid fiat on the
brim next to the crown, the loops being Of grad
uating length, and are not infrequently caught
with a buckle Of black enamel and gilt or one Of
carved motherof-pearl.
Ribbons are for the most part laid in narrow

ambitious proportion they almost completely con
ceal it, One imported hat with high crown was
trimmed with floral ribbon that was put into a
series of vertical gathers placed two inches apart
Either plain ribbon, such chiffon tafeta, shot

is destined to play this summer, when every
niche of the feminine wardrobe will be made
more alluring by its presence ID o. . .!
Turn where you will in the shops, on prone
made thoroughfares or at smart functions and the
Ribbon Girl is very sure to loom on your horl-
zon. But does not tire of ribbons. even
though surplus is in evidence, for the reason
that they are so attractively employed and for
such novel purposes, not to mention their love-
illness in color and design. -.
We may safely attribute the sweeping vogue OF
ribbons to the revived picturesque styles of La
Pompadour, Marie Antoinette, Empress Eugene
and other queens of fashion, who employed misty
Horals in silks, brocaded vevets and narrow Ores
den posey ribbons such as were never used be-

SOME TYPICAL PATTERNS,
It is difficult matter to sum up all the allur
ing designs that abound on shop counters, sine
every kind known to the mind of man is appar
emily given place.
However, there is one never failing rule; whel
it has flower on it you are all right. Floral
show to best advantage on the wide sash ribbon
with shot or MORE backgrounds. The design
are all bury, misty affairs that merely sugges
outlines and $colors Large splashy designs ar
much liked, while roses are good orchids, vic
lets, lilacs, sweet peas, lilies Of the valley AM
pansy patterns, arranged in punches, sprays
wreaths, are making strong Roadway Mario,
satin borders of color on wide ribbons enlive
them. Black and gun metal backgrounds are yer
good for misty horals.
Wonderful artistic effects are produced in tn
satin brocaded ribbons, and the price per var
is the equivalent to the cost of very palatabl
dinner. Many quaint posey patterns are shown
such as our grandmothers wore.
