AZ OTHING is prettier in ribbon ar
IN rangements than a bow and ends
in simple or in elaborate designs.
But one may not always arrive at the
desired effect by the use Of bows.
A shape may be modified or changed
in appearance by building 1t In one
direction or another with ribbon ar
ranged in loops. Flower forms may
be copied or simulated, and nothing
is more fashionable than small, COM
pact roses and foliage made of rib
bon.
These examples are given here of
ribbon In unusual arrangements. In
the first a cap-like shape covered with
big velvet peoples Is heightened at
the back with wired loops of heavy
satin ribbon. These bows redeem the
shape, lifting it from the common
place into one of those which the
French have described as 1.-The fieeting

Black Waist.

The black chiffon blouse over white
or over a silk In Persian colors Is
even more popular now than at the
end Of last season, when it was hailed
as a novelty. The yelled effect Is
more pleasing and satisfactory in a
waist than skirt, since it gives a
color effect which cannot be obtained
by pipings or bands. There Is a
beautiful messaline, woven in the
designs and colorings Of the famous
India shawls, which is used extern
sively in combination with black for
waists. The plain black silk waists
are worn a great deal The smartest
of them have a narrow round yoke OF
white lace. which gives them a dressy
appearance, relieving the somberness

though he may spend million every
year he is still living within his in

Singularly enough, neither Paul
Rainey nor his brother has the name
of being dissipated. No scandals ever
have been associated with them. They
are not even considered as reckless
spendthrifts. There is nothing eccen-
trio about Paul Rainey or about the
way he gets rid of his million dollars
year. He Is a well-balanced young
man who does not seek to attract at
tention to himself by frantic out
bursts of prof1iga.e waste. He simply
has a royal income and disposes Of it
by living on an extremely lavish scale
and taking out of life the greatest pos
