1 preserve the new look. 1t was not
only new, but silr one used asa m5.leI
had cost three dimes as n as me
| materials, so me girl had, as she
| laughingly said, made money" The
old timed lace jabot is in full fig and
the girl who has chance to rum
mage among the garments worn de-
cade or so ago is In luck, for the same
laces and the same cascades and
| jabots are worn now that were so
fashionable then. A pretty tie to be
worn with tailored linen waist, and
none are SO fashionable as they, was
made of inch wide heavy ribbon.
| There were eight pointed ends two
inches long gathered together In the
middle with knot and fastened on
loop of wire to catch on the but
| ton. The arrangements were very
stiff and correct for mourning wear
with high white embroidered turn
over collar.
| And have you been watching the
sashes? A sash, when some of us
were girls, meant lovely wide stiff
bit of ribbon tied in two equal loops
at the back of the waist and with
lovely floating ends that filled the
small peacocky little girls soul with
| joy.
But that isn't what a sash means
now by any means. The result as
far as the soul is concerned may be
the same, but the sash Is another
! story" The ribbon is soft and crush
able, not very wide and the ends are
either fringed heavily straight across,
or divided into two or three soft
| shirred points, each of which Is fin-
ished with a tassel. and there are no
| loops. Sometimes 1t is passed around
the waist, crossed at the back and
tied low on the right side In front.
When this is done hidden hook and
eye holds the soft girdle securely.
| Either black velvet or satin ribbon
are the favorites If contrast is need
| ed. With colored dress the sash is
| selected of t.. me shade. The shops
show man., Itiful figured and
printed ribbon, but you must not aI-
low yourself to be beguiled with their
! lovely colo ing, as they are deaIdelly

charming. Any face can find a be-
coming hat among the wide diversity
of shapes shown-if good taste and
| judgment are used. There's the rub.
So many girls look for the latest and
most extreme style to the exclusion
of suitability and becomingness. The
we'll dressed girl is one who is well
balanced enough to walk the narrow
line that divides the out of date gar
ments from the ultra fashionable and
/ touches neither extreme. Men and
women may not turn to look at her in
the street as they would IL she wore
the biggest hat the milliner shows or
the highest dress the dressmaker can
persuade her to wear, but neither will
they wear the amused and disguised

gown, French heels and overloaded
hat. Moderation" as the old cap
tain counselled is wise in dress as In
almost every other of the bits OF life
that build the harmonious whole.
