A middle-aged couple were prepar-

daughter in the city. and their last in
structions to their grown-up son. who

would be in time for his work tho next

Monday noon they got back to the
house and were surprised to find the
blinds closed exactly as they had been

parture. AS they let themselves into
the house they heard their sons voice

length with one outstanding and two
hanging.
Speaking of waists, we must note
that the small waist Is decidedly out
of fashion. 1t Is this fact that has
brought about the tremendous vogue
Of sashes. They do not define the
waist line, they conceal it. Their pur-
pose is to belong to the figure above
and below the waist and to ignore the
waist line so far as defining 1t is con-
cerned. They show a great advance
in popular taste, for this management
of the waist is far more beautiful
than the hard and fast lines of a
few years back.
Plaid ribbons and plain ribbons Tor
sashes of silk trimmed with plaid
are, more than any other, In keeping
with cloth gowns. The plaids of the
season are subdued and rich.
BY all means prepare to supply
your wardrobe with a variety of
sashes, for they are the reigning favor
tie among all accessories Of dress.
The management Of the waist is q
new art, new world to conquer, and
1t has Just dawned upon the feminine
mind. What will come OF It remains
to be seen. but you may be sure that

choosing sash and finish by buying

There is nothing haphazard about
all this. The sashes designed for
wear with cloth-gowns and those de-
signed for gowns Of hlmy materials
differ quite as much as the fabrics
they are to 60 with. Also. the per-
i sonality Of the wearer must be con-
sidered. and the style she wishes TO
affect must be studied. Happily intul

r. HERE are so many different de
i signs in sashes that they have to
be classified and named. Those de-
signed to be worn with one-piece cloth

are fastened with hooks and eyes.

and becoming at least equally popular
for ordinary wear. But sashes de-
signed for wear with blouse and skirt,
and those to be worn with one-piece
gowns. differ considerably.
Plaids, Roman stripes and brocades
are favored for cloth gowns, although
there are plenty Of plain sashes fin
lshed with touches Of plaid or bor-
dered with velvet ribbon. A very
popular sash Is made of plain satin,
shaped at the ends and lined. Hand
embroidered flowers or conventional
designs make the handsomest finish
for these. Such sashes are made
usually without loops. Recent de-
signs show sashes of velvet ribbon
with embroidered roses applied to
them. These roses are cut out from
ribbons or bands manufactured for the
purpose, and the roses are sewed to
the velvet with an appropriate en-
broidery stitch or buttonhole stitch
Short sashes of brocaded ribbons
are liked for cloth gowns. They are
