What You Can
Do With Ribbons

q ,.<.<.. -. 5000: -. .r.-:s: :s:S:<:
fNHE girl who would like to nave good
looking accessories at small cost
should buy ribbons with which 10
make them
simple white frock may dc duty on
a number OF occasions II trimmed up
with different ribbon accessories At
one time IT can have a narrow girdle
of black velvet ribbon brought around
the waist, with one long and reaching
below the knees and finished with a
pump bow. bow is used at the bust
line and a small one at the middle of
the back
At another time bring a fold OF pink
messaline satin around the waist and
finish 1t at the left side with a diago-
nal bow of five short loops of the rib
bon above knot and three below. with
two pointed ends. Make a satin rose
of the messaline and green velvet
leaves and tuck 1t in the folds of the
fichu.
A third idea is to use a straight belt
OF pinkish purple velvet ribbon six
inches wide. ending in two wedge
shaped ends where the front drapery
laps. One piece is three inches short
er than the other. which reaches to the
knees, and the ends are worked in a
wreath OF violets in ribbon embroid-
cry. Bunches OF violets are scattered
on the belt. and two loops Of velvet
with embroidered ends are tucked in
the overlapping part of the fichu
quaint Victorian effect can be
given by making a belt and peplum of
chiffon. Two full ends of chiffon are
made into a sash knotted at the bot
tom and finished In a deep outstanding
bow. with one loop up and the other
loop and two ends down The bottom
Of the peplum. which comes to the hip
line. and the edges of the sash and
bow are finished with a quilting of
changeabIe taffeta ribbon.

THE OUTDOOR DIARY.

TWO women who have acquired the
winter tramping habit keep diaries
of the great outdoors Each writes in
her book an account of the long walks
they take together. and they derive
much pleasure from looking over past
entries and also from exchanging their
books and noting how differently the
same things have impressed them.
Sometimes one account Of a walk is
full of funny happenings on the way.
while the other CLOVIS with sky tints
and natures winter garb. Their books
are OF the loose leaf sort, so that they
are always complete and yet always
ready for another chapter
Occasionally the girls paste IN the
midst OF story of a hike a striking
picture taken with their pocket camera
or the bill of fare of a quaint tea
house where they have stopped for a
meal
All their friends are eager TO see the
latest pages when they call. and some
or them are starting d diary OF the
great outdoors for themselves II is a
fine idea. for IL takes the girls out Of
their overheated homes into the fresh
air. whether for stroll or q cross
country tramp with party.

trated2 Ii IS of violet hemp with an
underbrim facing of soft white grebe
pIumage and a grebe pompon. from
which rise two white wings at one
side. Such a hat would be stunning on
the right woman worn with a smart
cutaway suit of violet cloth.
For the brunette nothing could be
more dashing than the white and red
hat in the cut The word red does
not adequately describe the lovely yet
rich. soft shade of the straw or the
shade OF the velvet and quilts with
which II harmonizes. This glorious red
color is one OF the smart shades for
early spring, although summer suns
will doubtless lead feminine fancy to-
ward less stimulating shades
The hat in prune and champagne
tones Is fetching and suggests the CO.

tips in a warm prune color. and the
tiny taffeta rosettes at each side are OF
taffeta in the same color.

FLOWERS IN THE HOME.

livery housewife likes to have her
house and table tastefully decorat-
ed with flowers. but when ones purse
is slender or n florists shop is not
within reach the matter is hard to
solve. Yet with a small outlay and a
small amount OF trouble It is possible
TO have enough plants and flowers to
last through the winter.
Much can be done by the merest
amateur. provided care and attention
are given regularly. but the woman
who remembers on one day and for
gets on the next had better not at
tempt to grow anything. Bulbous
plants are the easiest to handle. and
in addition the bulbs can be bought
Cheaply.
Bulbs. too. have the great advantage
of being clean TO keep in the house. NO
soil being required Fill the pots to

never wear a three cornered hat, for
an angular face and an angular hat do
not make for harmony.
Small hats are best on round faces
with small noses. They then give an
appearance OF pertness and sauciness
which is fascinating.
Short women should never wear very
large hats. These are for the tall wo-
men. who carry them to advantage. A
large. broad hat with a nat trimming

Large hats should only be worn with
gowns that are long. preferably trail
ing little.
Small and medium sized hats are
best with short suits and gowns. and
the choice between the two is an in
dividual one and depends mainly upon
the features beneath them. Women
with prominent noses and large fea
lures would do best to select the me-
dunn sized hat during the day and the
large hat at night. The small hat is
not for them. Neither is the hat turn
