broad sashes and enormous hair bows,
other ribbon devices are also used in
great profusion.
Many restless girlies cannot wear a
sash tied round the waist. 1t is al
ways sagging down to the knees or
coming united Such wee maids have
the ribbon garnitures literally sewed
TO their gowns. Sometimes the mar
row ribbon is run through beading of
fancy design and finished with soft
knots or what might best be de-
scribed as shower bow.
A very pretty design of this sort
was noted at a recent gathering of
smartly dressed children in a private
school,
The little dress was cut with a short
waist suggesting empire lines, but
there was no confining belt. Instead,
the trimming and ribbon garnitures
were applied on vertical lines. The
fabric was a soft handkerchief linen,
and the trimming fine batiste en-
broidery, with sharply pointed edge.
This was run in strips from the neck
and shoulders to a point just above
the child's natural waist line, with the
points meeting and leaving a diamond
shaped opening in the center.
Under this joining of fine embroid-
cry ran soft strips of white ribbon,
each strip finished with soft loops and
long ends. The effect of the floating
ends of white ribbon was extremely
pretty on this angular little girl who
would have made a sorry figure indeed
in sash.
Some of the new sashes are figured
or splashed with flowers or done in
checks, but the most effective ribbons
for the small child are those in deli
cate solid colors.
Brown ties and stockings are very
popular for every day; black patent
leather slippers and ties are for dress,
| and indeed very few high shoes are
shown for girlies except for rainy-day
use, travelling. etc.

For very best frocks much hand

in shaped pieces for yoke, cuffs OIL

Despite the evident effort at simplic-

summer for the mother of small
daughters. In the first place, it is a
season of colors, and colors in wash
fabrics are never economical. More
over, it is a ribbon season-and rib

In regard to colors, they are shown

pale blue, pink cerise, rose, scarlet and
brown, which, by the way, are mostly
warm shades, are much used in all
wash fabrics.

MIXTURES FOR THE BATH.
inexpensive Luxuries That Can Be
Prepared at Home.

A strong tonic bath is made by mix
ing a pound of muriate of soda with
half pound of sulphate of soda and
a quarter of pound each of chlorides
of lime and magnesia. These ingredi-
ents may be put into the tub and
water poured on to dissolve them.
Then the tub must be filled in the
usual way. This particular tonic
should not be used oftener than once
a week, or its effect upon the skin
will be drying.
The girl whose income is so limited
that she can indulge in few luxuries
will be much benefited by an inexpen-
sive salt rub every morning. To do
this wet the entire body, then rub
coarse sea salt, to be bought from
any drug shop, over every inch of the
skin. This saline must stay on the
skin until the pores absorb it, then
the grains will fall off. The face
should not be touched with the salt.
