WEAR SHIRT WAIST RIGHT

"If you're going to wear snirt

hold to It,
Then, as to accessories. Frills and
pleetings may not be your style;'

jabot may be becoming and one that

This is a discovery you are to make

Because of that hatred the boy and

hid their good friendship, and when
they walked in the red rose or the
white rose garden only their eyes
strayed across the fence. These
glances and the trysts they kept In
the little grove a half mile away on

USES FOR RIBBONS
HERE FASHION HAS DRAWN THE
LINE TIGHTLY.
Each Season Demands Changes, the
Majority Of Which Are Easily Ae-
complished-Color Scheme Al
ways to Be Remembered.

It might seem at first thought that
the correct use of ribbon is one of the
easiest things in life, but each season
ushers in its own especial use of the
different widths, if not of particular
kinds and qualities. all of which block
the way to success through past ex-
perience
:. To say that the sash is to be worn
is not to mean necessarily the 12-inch
ribbon that meant sash" few years
ago: and to proclaim the hat with the
ribbon bow is not to tie any sort OF
little bow and believe ones self
walking the rope of fashion.
Fashion draws her rope tightly, and
makes little allowance for deviations
from its difficult way.
The ribbon as a sash is admitted
when in its softest form 1t hangs in
two long slim ends, very much as II 1t
were bias liberty. To accomplish this
effect the ends are tied sometimes
into knots, with end, and again into
actual bows, which weight them into
graceful fall
Ribbon may also be folded success
fully into the sash for the waist cir
die, when, for this use, also, 1t is OF
liberty quality.
The hat bow of the season demands
breadth Of ribbon and crispness OF
quality
Ribbon has been used successfully as
a tunic edge for the marquisette and
chiffon drapery of the figured foulard
gown, and it is the color touch on
many a pretty garden party frock.
Here, If anywhere. is ribbon at Its
best. The buttonholed slot provides
successful openings for the slipping In
and out of folded wide ribbons and of
two-inch ribbon velvets. These are
used in gayest colors on the handsome
white or ecru frock and on the bower
sprigged or embroidered null and the
dotted swiss. Black or lavender RIB
bons slipped into the natural eyelet
spaces in black and white embroid
cred robes are an unusual treatment
of the summer frock for those who
wear light mourning.
Always successful as summer neck
ties are the medium widths Of soft
ribbon, whether tied in bow OF
knotted into four-in-hand.
Color enters largely into the sue
cessful use of ribbon, and not alone
are the brightest tones called into
requisition in the furnishing Of hat
and gown. The French are fond OF
certain deep prune ribbon on black
hats, and the combination is not far
from ravishing so unusual is 1t. Black
ribbon on the dark blue hat or on the
gray hat Is as successful as certain
combinations Of black MORE ribbon
with burnt straw and with ecru raffia
fabric.
Changeable ribbons, last of all, be
cause they are the newest and also
for reasons of convenience. Straws
are not easy to match and neither are
mat -rials, and the two-toned ribbon
is frequently the only possible hat
trimming that will shade harmoni.

such a game"

consoled her. "'All's fair in love and

was no end to the suffering for him.

the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept us awake all
hours of the night and his health

we did not use all of them until he
