of tiny ribbon roses. Whatever sash
ends do, they must not futter and
small weights, on tapes, are usually
sewed to the ends of the ribbon. If
the sash has pointed or tab shaped
ends tassels or ball trimming may fur
nish the necessary weight.
Only the debutante wears an limo
cent pale blue or pink sash now. These
abyish tints are not for the woman of
fashion who wears the blue shot with
mauve, or gold; or lilac shot with
rose; or any other changeable pastel
coloring. Sashes of pale tan with cor
sage trimmings of tea roses are con-
sidered smart with lingerie frocks of
creamy stuff; but the deep ecru frocks
are usually accompanied by black vel
vet sashes.
The large-Waisted woman should
beware of a sash contrasting in color
with her gown, and the black velvet
sash, with any gown except a black
one, is not for her. If the hips are
over-developed at the back, it is best
to avoid sashes altogether and finish
the girdle with a pump bow, without
ends, which may be worn at the CEN
ter-back, or a little to the right or left
of the back.
Pompadour ribbons with edges of
plain color make charming sashes for
young girls and often such sashes
have no bow at the back, one end of
the ribbon being simply drawn up
back of the knot and allowed to fall
over the other end. This method takes
very little ribbon, two yards being suf-
ficient to make pretty sash Some
of the taffeta frocks have sash ends
edged all around with tiny quillings.

measured by Contrasts most
~ people admit-one must spend
a certain proportion of time in town
to appreciate, truly, rural delights;
and the ownership of a country place
and the ability to spend as much time
as one pleases thereat is the supreme
perQuisite of the millionaire. The
average man. drudging away for fifty
weeks out of the year, has only
tantalizing glimpse of country delights
and just as he begins to shake off the
trammels of town existence and to
enjoy himself it is time to pack up
and go back to work and to dust, and

As soon as frost is out of the ground
the big country houses of the for
tunate rich begin to show signs of
life. The smell of new-turned garden
earth is in the air; hedges are being
clipped, trees pruned and trimmed;
f1ower-beds set out; hordes of work
men are busy making everything spic
and span for the arrival of the house
holder and his family, his army of
servants and the motors, horses, dogs
and other belongings that will aid to
an enjoyable summer. Most of the
big houses at Tuxedo and up in West
chester are open now, and the places
out on Long Island, where winds are
bleak a little longer in the season, will
be occupied by Memorial day. And
every Saturday-all through the sum-
mer-the late afternoon trains will
be filled with lucky folk hidden to
these great country houses for week
end festivities who will be met
at the station by luxurious motor cars
and whirled away to their destina-
tons, humber yet smartly equipped
conveyances following with their
Wallets. maids, pet dogs and luggage.
Smart Travelling Coats of Light Ma
teriaI.
The woman who is lucky enough to
have a maid to bear the burden of
her wraps and general travelling par
aphernalia, starts out in a natty suit
Or frock covered by a good looking
wrap of lightweight material which
protects her from the dust of travel
and which will serve in case of a
sudden change of weather before the
destination is reached. This wrap
may be used in the country for motor

This summer the English ulster or
topcoat promises to be very popular
especially among the younger wo-
men, IheSe coats are excessively
mannish in style with small collars
and lapels at the neck, huge slashed
pockets and a roomy cut across the
shoulders. They are made of beauti-
fl1l, soft tweeds and worsted mixtures
warm and fieecy in feeling but so light
IN weight that the coat is easy to
lift about. Quite in contrast to these
masculine topcoats are the gay little
taffeta wraps which are held by
single fastening at the left hip and
which have feminine and frivolous
trimmings in the way of narrow pleat-
ings, Fittings or corded putting of
the material. Travelling wraps of this
sort are made of green and black and
blue-and-black shot taffeta, or of taft

They are light and cool and pleasingly

course, may not be used for evening

- HE summer frock that has not
sash of one sort or another
must admit itself as hopelessly
- out of the mode, for the sash
is omnipresent. Sometimes it is of
shaped in tab form and edged with
lace frills. Again it may be entirely
of lace, piped all around the edge
with satin. One sees sashes of very
broad ribbon simply looped and al
lowed to fall over the skirt in over
tapping ends; and one sees black vel
vet sashes knotted and tied in all
sorts of ways and clapped against the
frock in all sorts of casual ways. For
example, some of the straight, simple
frocks of lingerie material, have black
velvet sashes exactly in the center of
the front with ends hanging almost to
the skirt hem. This effect is trying to
the most sylphlike figure and is fatal
to the stout woman. More becoming
is the sash gracefully knotted at one
side, with ends that fall only 60 the
hip-or the knee. These side-sashes
are not as conspicuously girlish in sug-
gestion as the bebe sash tied at the
center back which is suitable only for
slender, youthful figures.
In Paris they are all mad about the
Martial Armand sash, tied in many
loops and falling over the skirt at the
left side of the back. These sashes are
usually made of very wide, soft
changeable taffeta ribbon and the
loops do not stand out sideways in
butter1y-wing fashion, but rise, one
above the other leach loop being
made a trif1e longer than the one just

same fashion. There are two sharply

The One Harm
less Skin Bleach

Thanks to the enforcement of the
Pure Food and Drugs Act, the various
preparations designed to bleach the
skin, containing injurious acids and cor
rosive sublimate, have had to go. Their
sale is now Illegal.
There now looms up brightly "SKYN-
BLEACH" a peroxide cream, composed
mostly of Earth Alkaline Peroxides and
which contains no acids or injurious
substances of any kind.
1t does its work by reason of the fact
that when rubbed on the skin, previous
ly moistened with warm water, the Tree
and active oxygen which thereby be-
comes released not only beaches the
skin but thoroughly disinfeets as well.
The person afflicted with discolored skin
and wishing to obtain that creamy white
skin so much to be desired, will find
