MAKES AN ATTRACTIVE SASH
Pale Green Satin Ribbon Lends Itself
to Almost ANY Costume-HoW
to Fashion 1t.

One of the most attractive sashes l
have seen this season was made OF
pale green satin ribbon eight inches
wide, folded in several narrow folds
and encircling the waist in rather
narrow band.
In the center Of the back is nat
bow with two loops and two long ends
that reached almost to the hem of the
skirt These ends each had three
lace medallions, graduated in size, set
in, the smaller one at the top.
l thought what an easy thing 1t
would be for young girl to make for
herself, for the price of this sash was
quite beyond the means Of woman
with a slender purse.
Fold the waistband ribbon on a
straight piece Of betting and catch 1t
down underneath with silk matching
the ribbon in color, and sew hooks
and eyes on each end of this to fasten
1t around the waist.
Pin the lace medallions in place ana
sew them down firmly on the edge
with fine white cotton, then cut away
the ribbon underneath, leaving about
a quarter of an inch to turn back ana
whip down on the wrong side, so that
no frayed edges of the ribbon VIII
show through the lace.
Sew the ends to the ribbon-covered
betting. then the bow over them, and
the sash is ready to wear.
The same kind Of a sash without
Lace insets, but with each end edged
with deep silk fringe, makes al at
tractive sash to wear with summer
frock. You will find 1t quite simple
matter to make yourself one OF these

Already are very exclusive models

You are not really surprised? The
fullness at the hips has been so in
sistent that we must accept the
change philosophically, remembering
that it is the rule of fashionland.
