Easily Made
Ribbon Flowers

FLOWERS of ribbon are pretty, not
expensive, practically indestructible
and so easily made that they seem al
most to make themselves. II wrapped
away in tissue paper when not in use
they will never become dusty.
To make a rose, satin ribbon is best,
but taffeta may be used for the more
delicate flowers. and watered silk some
times gives a pretty effect. Artificial
leaves and centers are used, and the
whole is quite lifelike. especially when
the flowers are placed in a ribbon
basket, which, by the way. is plated
and knotted over heavy millinery wire.
A deep hat frame in the Corday style
will do.
The ribbon is first doubled to the re-
quired length for the petal and then
gathered together and puffed so that
no open edges show. The second petal
is done in the same manner and caught
to the first at the bottom. and SO on
until the proper number of petals is
reached. The artificial stamens are
then laid crosswise on the flower SO
that their stems are in the middle and
are fastened tightly with thin wire.
which is then cut off close. With the
addition of a short artificial stem and
cup the flower is now complete.
The important thing is to observe
the natural fiower-by all means have
a model-and to follow 1t closely. Rib
bon can be bought to match any BIOS
som that ever grew. and with expert
ence and added skill the amateur now
er maker can copy many rare and
beautiful blooms.
The ribbon should be at least three
inches wide. and about two thirds OF
a yard would be needed for a single
loose rose. Other flowers can be esti-
mated approximately from this. but the
ribbon is best bought by the piece in
the more usual colors. The only other
implements needed besides the nrti-
fetal flower parts are wire and scissors
These silken flowers are charming
aids to the toilet. A huge pink cab
bage rose is the making of many a
costume This may be fashioned in
the simplest way by gathering the
doubled ribbon into form

NEW DRAPERIES

THE spring is a season of particular
interest to the thrifty housewife
for all sorts of delightful novelties in
furnishing fabrics and curtains make
their appearance, and 1t is a labor of
love to decide which of them will make
her rooms look prettiest-
At an exhibition of cretonnes and
other furnishing fabrics some Of the
latest novelties were to be seen,
among them the wistaria cretonne
printed in the natural mauve color with
delicate green foliage. A clever repro
duction of an old cretonne. with birds
and flowers in rich colorfng on a
"Jaspe" ground, was highly effective.
For those who prefer a printed linen
there are sold designs of pink roses
with natural green foliage on cream
ground, the same design being supplied
with mauve and green foliage and pink
roses.
In shops the muslin curtain depart
ment is very popular at this time of
year. and here will be found some ex-
ceptionally dainty novelties in harness
muslin, which has quite come into
fashion again. Wide curtain muslin by
the yard, edged with lace. is very cheap,
and brise- bise curtain muslin to match,
with hemstitched edge, is made in
various widths from twenty-four to
.thirty-six inches, according to the
depth of curtain required, and there is
a heading at the top all ready for slip
ping on the rod.

WIDER SKIRTS

Skirts are a little wider, just sufi-
GENTLY SO to give ease of movement In
walking and to avoid the very cramp-
ed look OF the feet. One OF the Pari-
sian dressmakers already has rushed
to the other extreme and is making
skirts fifteen meters round the hem
But the other houses are sending out
theirs from a yard and a half to two
yards. according to the measurements

The very narrow skirt suits but few.
At the same time medium narrow
one has its charm. A very full skirt is
almost as great a hindrance to free
movement and easy walking as the
hobole In windy weather especially

do its best to throw it's wearer down.

CONCERNING FABRICS

Foulard is a stuff that will be greatly
used and to advantage. In Paisley and
cashmere patterns, as we'll as many
others, the colorings are singularly ar
tistic. This season is likely to mark a
color epoch. and the one great aim is
to get contrasts to harmonic in tone.
Tule is once more to the fore in even
ing gowns. Nuns veiling, marquisette
and grenadine are all fashionable. and
SO is uoire, but moire is softer and diff
fers in its watering from the moire of
years ago, which had much more sub
stance in 1t. Many gowns are lined
with the new weave of moire, the dress
material being of the most gossaIner
kind. but the watering showing effec-
lively through.
Short kinnono sleeves at this early
period of the season carry all before
them, but they show handsome trim
n1ings and bands Of oriental colorfngs
often OF contrasting stuffs.
The dress and lining must cling to
the figure. We are not only borrowing
our sleeves from the Japanese, but the
broad sash and bow at the back which
the dainty little ladies wear in that far
of country.

revers and turned back cuffs. The
fronts cross in the Russian blouse
fashion and fasten low at the side with

back is gathered at the bottom and

Country motoring In summer time
calls for something more practical than
fancy pongee wrap. however, and for
day In and out country riding or tour
ing nothing is so comfortable and sat
isfactory as a mohair coat. These
coats shed the dust readily and do not
orumple or crease with constant sit
| ting. and they are moreover delightful
ly cool and light to wear. The new
mohair models are most attractive and
| are built on the same lines as the wool
coats with seamless shoulders and belts
attached in sections, strap fashion.
Also very serviceable motoring gar
ment for country tours is a long sweat

collar of blue or scarlet Such a model
is pictured today, and in tho cuff is a

These button watches are fast becom-
ing popular. for they do away with
fussing and digging In ones pockets
and hand bag to learn the time. Just
| a turn Of the wrist and the time is in
full view.
Motor bonnets are growing prettier
and prettier. and the very mention Of a
| straw motor bonnet makes one wish
for columns and columns more IN which
| to peruse a fascinating subject, for now
one actually wishes to own q car half
for the pleasure of wearing a motor
bonnet. SO distracting1y becoming are
these coy little affairs. Satin straws,
raffia and horsehair braid are used for
the bonnets which have poke and visor
brim and soft crushed tam crowns.
Almost always there is a knot of vel
vet, a rosette an ornament or even a
rose on one side Of the brim to add a
touch of coquetry, as II the strings tied
beneath the chin were not coquettish
enough. One of the cleverest of the
new ideas in motor headgear is the
straw hood, which looks exactly like a
smart turban in oriental style until Its
wearer steps into the car and pulls
down the back Of the turban over her
hair. Then. presto, the natty turban
becomes a straw hood, entirely cover
ing the hair and ears in most practical
fashion. From Poiret also comes a
turban that is really oriental in type
This is made of bright blue Grape
wound round and round and tied In a
knot over the left ear, with a dangling
silk tassel to fall on the shoulder. Like
all of Poiret's motor garb, this queer
hat is eccentric. but dashing and smart
in a way Of it's own.

summer motor coats are fashioned.
Many of the French coats this season
are Of English waxcloth in beautiful
golden tan shades. They are built on
loose raglan lines with wide sleeves
gathered into bracelet cuffs. These
coats are entirely waterproof and also
very light in weight. They button
closely to the throat in the sensible
manner for motoring and fasten all the
way down the front with smoked pearl
buttons. Another imported coat show
ing the religieuse collar is a model by
Poiret of Paris, who introduced the
