ends being cut tab-shape. Black velvet
sashes are coming more and more into
favor as the season advances and there
is something decidedly taking about the
touch of dead black velvet on a dainty
frock. The white frock with pannier
overskirt. illustrated on the figure stand
ing in a window, has sash of shot pink
taffeta In a lovely watermelon shade and
with pink rosebuds. This frock is par
ticularly girlish and the pannier is very
moderately limited at the short tunic
being eased into a fiat edge trimming
to produce a slightly bouffant effect at
back and sides. This frock is made of
white cotton crepe embroidered by hand.
and the trimming of cluny lace is ar
ranged to throw the handsome emEroid-
cry into relief. The yoke and pulled
underseeves are of white net.
Net is extravagantly popular this sea-
son and many Lingerie frocks, as they
are called, are made entirely of net, with
trimmings Of shadow or val lace. Such
frocks are exquisitely dainty, but they
are rather fragile for out-of-door wear
and will never give the service that a
lingerie model of handsome embroidery
and batiste wolfe and heavier lace
will give. Most Of the net frocks have
flounces on the skirt, and one very beau
tiful model by Sebillon shows four rows
of fOunceS, each net hounce being bor-
dered with deep scallops which are piped
by hand with satin. The work of sewing
bias satin piping on net scallops can be
imagined, and one does not wonder that
the price of this frock scared into many
hundreds Of francs.
Some Of the net frocks are accom-
panied by gay little taffeta wraps or
coats which add a dainty color touch
when accompanied by a hat n similar
color. The Paris couturier is particular
about what sort Of hat is to accompany
his or her carefully thought out creation,
and many Of the frocks and gowns are
sold with accompanying headgear. The
two hats illustrated separately came
home with French frocks ordered by a

rather than pure white. A smart costume
of the lingerie type shown in the house
Of Poiret recently was of dotted cotton
crepe trimmed lavishly with Bavarian
lace. A lace edged tunic fell over a
narrow skirt of green chiffon and there
was an old pleated frill to the chiffon
hanging from the neck. frill taperiu-r
to nothing at the front and pointing
down to the waist line at the back.
The sash was Of green and gold shot
taffeta and the fanciful buttoned boots
were of white kid with green leather
trimmings. The manikin who exploited
this very Poiretlike costume wore green
straw hat with one long sreen ostrich
plume. and cream silk gloves with flower
ed bracelets embroidered in green on the
wrist.
Only babies wear pink and blue
sashes now, and such frankly innocent
shades have no claim to modishness.
Subtle and mysterious blues. pinks. Law
enders and corn colors, produced by
weavings changeant are the fashion, and
some of these changeable taffeta ribbons
are atrociously expensive, because they
are the craze, of course. There are
dozens of ways to tie the sash this
season-one might almost say scores Of
ways-and each seems more charming
than the last There is the simple, jeune
file style illustrated with the dotted
swiss frock referred to above one end
of the sash falling over the other and
both ends emanating from a demure, fiat
bow at the waist line. Then there is the
pannier sash. caught against the skirt
at the knees SO that the upper part bags
out a bit.
Sometimes the broad sash fibbons are
set straight along the edge of the waist
ribbon and spread out fiat over the back
Of the skirt until they reach the knees.
then they are drawn together and held
under a little wreath Of rosebuds, a knot
or bow. Again, the sash may be made
Of taffeta by the yard. or of satin. and

material set all around the edge, the

CKILL in designing trousseau, prac-
teal sense in making over and using
what is on hand partly worn and
care in selecting chic. becoming articles
will wonderfully improve wardrobe.
Avoid extremes unless blessed with many
changes. Flee from startling combinations
Of color or fabrics. wear only becoming
styles. and remember that clothing the
human body is worth mental effort and
physical labor, and cultivate good style
and individuality.
The panier design will be much used by
brides, as it lends itself to the use of lace
houncing or allover. crepes, nets, tulle,
chiffon and such thin draperies over the
traditional satin. The panier effect will
be draped low down on each side and
apparently held in place with a spray of
orange blossoms. In some instances
trails of blossoms from these will be
carried over the train.
The surplice or fichu effects are favored
for corsages and long or three-quartef
sleeves Silk, pearl, crystal and silver
embroidery are very chic on such a gown.
Wells Of allover lace Of thin texture or
lightly figured net, are fashionable, which
are usually finished all around the edges
with an edging one to two inches wide.
The draping of the veil is q very impor-
tant part Of the toilet Of g. bride, and
