a buckle at the center front Of the
bodice Of a bridge gown. going up

The free end Of this scarf is not
weighted nor trimmed. but floats
about in unison with the wearer's
movements a dnin a manner that ia
chic and "Frenchy." On many cos
tunes are four-inch wide ribbon cir.
dies ending in sashes in satin, faille
or taffeta; these ribbons are printed
In floral designs repeating the eight
eenth century fabrics, and show a
choice Of exquisite colors. which is al
most b~ewildertng. The warm blue Of
the Venetian school Of art and a
shade seldom to be found in French
woven fabrics is seen in a girdle Of
faille that belongs to a schoolgirl
whose frocks are chiefly in neutral
tones. Its belt, narrow and folded
into tiny plaits, closes under a four
Topped bow, topping two long ends
OF uneven length falling over the left
front Of the skirt. For use with tall
or-made one-piece frocks in serge. a
trim-looking type of sash-girdle is the
straight belt of narrow colored rib
bon, invisibly closed, but having sus-
pended from its left front and falling
half way down the skirt at that side.
a wide strap Of corded ribbon, end
tipped with metallic fringe.
To a degree, black satin i stalking
the place Of black velvet for girdles.
To wear with round skirted house
frocks Of wolfe or marquisette in
white. cerise or blue. a certain young
woman. just back from Paris, has a
three-yard length Of double-faced and
very broad black satin ribbon which
starts under a buckle at the back Of
the waist line. goes once about the
figure and falls down the center back
OF n skirt. almost to the feet. She
also has a collection Of big black satin
bows. which she finds useful as orna>
loop up a skirts drapery and to pin
on a hat.
Little bodices and jackets. minus
sleeves and made Of net lace or fancy
silk. are going to figure conspicuously
this autumn and next winter in the
W~ardrobes of the women who have a
liking for dressy afternoon house cos
tunes. A great many Of the bodices
now being copied are contrived from
lengths Of Chantilly. Sapnish or VAL
enciennes lace: Of chiffon pr embroid-
cred net or Of thin and flexible silk,
and they are edged all round with
duchings Of silk or with frillings of
net. Although the back forms are
shaped and fitted to the waist line, the
fronts are usually crossed or draped
hchu-fashion. their ends carried back
ward and knotted or caught against
one side of the belt.
Rocco garlands Of flowers made Of
silk. satin or velvet. and often COM
bintng those three fabrics. bedeck aft
ernoon house costumes and the SIM
pier sort Of evening frocks. and are
justly regarded as accessories because
merely pinned in place. The ~garlands
outline the neck Of the bodice or
stray over n shoulder In aimless
fashion: they mingle with the folds
Of a pannier or catch up a lace ruffle
trimming a petticoat. In shorter
strands they are kept in reserve as a
change Of garnishing for a big velvet
hat. to enliven the effect Of a nun in
dark fur and to set between the frill-
tngs of a malines boa.
