Height and Breadth Can Be Increased ar Toned Down by Dranlna
 of Sash.

There is great deal of art in tho wearing of sash. One can increase ones height or ones breadth, adorn . plain gown tone down an elaborate one, give a touch of distinction to ones whole appearance. simply by the way in which sthe sash is draped and adjusted.
 Try wearing the sash in shawl style over the shoulders, caught by . stitch in back and tucked under the girdle. to fall in diagonal lengths to just above the ankles.
 Or wind 1t twice around the waist. like girdle: cross it in front and fasten with A knot at the sides of the skirt below the knees.
 Then there Is the Scotch tartan ef- feet, especially attractive with a plaid scarf. where there is broad band over the left shoulder, narrow draped one over the back and the right, and knot at the waist on the left side, so that the sash falls in a broad width almost to the bottom of the frock.
 The adjustment of the sash may well have reference to the conceal. ment of some defect in the garment 1t covers-a tiny tear. perhaps, or an ineradicable stain. It should enpha, size the good points of the figure and hide the bad. That is why the old fashion of the stiff bow at the back was so bad; 1t made every woman look stout.
 Give a little thought to the draping of your sash, and half your battle for beauty of appearance is won.
