allowed to make the ascent. Even now
much religious sentiment is attached

In Velvet and Steel.

In the latest expression the coquet
fish neck bow is a cute little affair
in black velvet ribbon edged at both
sides with tiny steel beads and cen
tered with a tiny design in the beads
or with little steel buckle Some OF
the bows are of inch-wide velvet rib
bon, formed into four loops and lack
ing ends. But others are composed
only of seven or eight ends radiating
from a steel circlet. The metal edg.
ing prevents the narrow velvet from
curling or twisting, and although the
beads are tiny to attach them is easy.
Moreover, the use of steel on neck
wear is rather novel fashion, and
that is what the average woman is
looking for.
