FRlLLS FOR WAISTS
THEY WILL BE POPULAR ADoRN.
MENT,
The Plated Ruffie OF. Extended Jabot
Still Counted az an important
Feature,

The plated ruffle or extended jabot
which began to appear on the spring
waist is now one of the most import
ant of the characteristic features of
this seasons waists. In every sort of
material from fine real lace to taffeta
and even heavier silks it figures as a
necessary part of the new waists
adornments. The plated ruffles sepa-
rate from the waist and ready to be
basted, pinned or buttoned to any
waist in the wardrobe at the wearer's
convenience are now sold in all the
shops and are as popular as the cuff
and collar sets. These detachable
ruft1es reach from the collar band
to the belt and are to be worn with
silk or linen waists, according to their
quality and material. There are ruffles
of Valenciennes trimmed with baby
Irish or guipure, Cluny ruffles and
hand-embroidered ruffles with inser-
tions and edges of lace. These are for
wear with fine embroidered linen, silk
or pongee waists and are meant to
peep fetchingly forth from between
the fronts of fancy Jackets of taffeta,
pongee, linen or the thin woolen goods.
They are extremely expensive if
bought ready made, especially, of
course, if the lace be real and the en-
broidery hand work. But the fashion
Is particularly good one for those
who have fine laces and embroidery
which they have stored for years, as
even such bits may be successfully
utilized to trim the ruff1es of fine
handkerchief linen and the fashion il
not difficult one for the amateur
needle women to follow successfully.
All that is needed is double piece
of lace-edged material, Which may be
as simple or as elaborate as one
wishes These pieces are Joined up
the middle and knife plated with fine
plaitings. The width of the jabot
varies to suit individual taste in the
style Of waist or jacket with which it
is to be displayed and so home ma
terials may the better be utilized to
make these attractive ruffles.
For the simple shirtwaists the ruff
f1es are of slightly heavier linen and
are often embroidered with colored
dots or with vines and buttonholed
scallop edges in color, pale pink, pale
blue and lavender being the favorite
hues. These ruffles for the heavier
waists are also trimmed with narrow
edges of colored material and witk
bands stitched down the middle of the
same contrasting hue. These double
edges and bands of colored linen deco.
rate the ruffles in much the same way
that handkerchief borders are used
Although the linen employed for the
ruff1es for heavier shirtwaists is not
quite so diaphanous as that used for
the very finest and thinest lingerie
waists, it must still be both sheer and
fine. Really heavy linen would not, of
course, make suitable. ruff1es. Batiste
in very fine qualities, both plain and
embroidered, is used for the fine
waists. Net and chiffon ruff1es are
used in the blouses. made largely of
lace.
