only sufficient blank space for the

measures two by two and three-quar

coming between.
In mourning cards there are tite
different widths of bordering The

a woman mourning a daughter or son

Ribbons in Wonderful Variety
and Very Fashionable This Year

Ribbon is employed this year on
every possible occasion and in liberal
quantities.
Seemingly every width weave, coll
orinS ana design, inag inable in rib
bons is at ones disposal in the shops,
ana ali are fasnionaDie.
The craze for Persian printings,
however, exceeds the demand tor me-
taiiic ribbons, and the variety of de-
signs and coiorings in. this line is
little short of marvellous.
L In these there are small figures in
neutral tints on pale backgrounds, and
also gorgeous colorings and such large
designs that they seem To belong only
to a mandarins robe.
While some of the Persian ribbons
are plain, others are woven with gold
stripes or gold borders. Others are
coarse mesh in gold gauge with a
broad border in Persian colorings
The wide Persian ribbons showing a
half inch stripe of black are much In
demand for sashes or garniture for
important afternoon gowns. The same
designs with gold stripe are favored
for evening wear.
These ribbons are used to edge tu-
mics and overskirts, also for borders
of gowns. and. though expensive. are
said to be cheaper than bordered
goods and are more convenient. as one
can apply them just where necessary.
