1BBON flowers in the form Of
bouttonnieres, corsage bouquets,
couture ornaments and dress
garnishments, are much fam

gift seems peculiarly fitting for the

BILE, and long after the expensive real
violets have faded and been cast into
the dust heap, their replicas, made of
violet ribbon, will be an appreciated
adjunct of miladi's wardrobe.
The artificial blossoms are quite as
costly as the real sort, in most cases,
but Of course their life is infinitely
longer and they pay for themselves
many times over in usefulness; where
as the genuine flowers pay for them
selves only in a brief period of beauty
and the remembrance of the sender's
thought. Marvelously natural effects
are achieved now by the makers Of
these artificial posies and when the
blossoms are delicately perfumed
with the appropriate odor, even but
terf1y or q bee, one feels certain,
would be deceived by the imitation.
The ribbon roses come in all sizes,
from wee affairs for decorating baby's
bootees and cap, to great, splendid
red affairs for adding a brilliant touch
to a black frock. There are lovely,
pale pink rosebuds, half opened, to
tuck into the demure, crossed fronts
of a fichu: there are soft, widely open
ed roses to be caught against the
belt Of a debutante's dancing frock;
there are roses for hat trimmings and
roses for the hair and every color is

FINDS 7 SINS IN WOMEN
Mrs. Easton Discovers Serious
Flaws in Her Sex.

The seven sins Of woman stand con-
fessed.
Yes, there are only seven, and they
are:
GLUTTONY,
LAZINESS,
ENVY,
JEALOUSY,
REVENGE,
FEAR,
SENSUALITY.
This is the accusation OF Mrs. Mildred
Manly Easton-"our Milly" of the Life
90 Fine Art Club-and when she ac-
cused the women before her yesterday
at the Hotel Astor Of belonging to sex
noted for these seven sins the women
sat speechless. At least they didn't
deny the seven.
"Gluttony is the most common OF
women's sins" said "our Milly.'
"They spend all the time between
breakfast and luncheon in digesting
their breakfast, all the time between
luncheon and dinner in digesting
luncheon, and after dinner they do
some more digesting. They sit around
more dead than alive, and imagine they
have some fashionable ailment.
"Laziness makes women scrappy ana
snappy. Envy makes them snaky.
jealousy makes them sour and snippy.
Revenge develops the dangerous
u,oman. and fear pinches a woman so
that she hasn't any healthy circula-
ton"
