ing flowers upon a plain ribbon back

ployed in the ribbon itself. Perhaps the
only exception to this Is the plain taffetas
or gros grain sash stamped on the ends in
enormous Marie Antolnette or empire floral
wreaths
Some of the ribbons have moire back

with enormous lavender orchids dotted at
regular intervals with green tinsel Of har-
monious shade. At night this tinsel weave
gives the effect of moonbeans over the
background of the exquisitely tinted flow

with long slender tulip leaves of sage

pink and blue flowers are stamped upon a
white material, and instead OF several bows
for the sash the ribbon is frequently
crimped to simulate blossoms.
