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 it is con-
cerned. They show great advance
in popular taste, for this management

There is nothing haphazard about
all this. The sashes designed fol

differ quite as much as the fabrics
they are to go with. Also, the per
sonality of the wearer must be con

or dots or little figures are done in
fine careful embroidery at the front
of the waist. Further decoration is
added by means of fine tucks and
narrow insertions of lace.
A batiste waist is pictured here
with very narrow Val lace and sprays
of small embroidered daisies furnish
ing it's decoration. The Val lace is
not so durable as Cluny or torchon,
but if Numbered carefully at home
will last as long as the batiste. Bat
iste is the daintiest of fabrics for
these wash waists. Nothing else will
look quite so fine.
There is nothing more elegant than
these hand-embroidered blouses. 1t
is a pleasure to think that any WON

little outlay. If bought, one must pay
for the handwork, and this brings the

- HERE are SO many different de-
q signs in sashes that they have to
be classified and named. Those de-
signed to be worn with one-piece cloth
gowns are made ready to adjust and
are fastened with hooks and eyes.
The one-piece cloth gown with con-
siderable lace and chiffon in the bod
ice) is crowding the separate blouse
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
ished with touches of plaid or Dor
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 sasihes 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-
broideIy stitch or buttonhole stitch.
Short sashes of brocaded ribbons
are liked for cloth gowns They are
wide and there is liking for a fat
bow as finish, worn at the front.
But there is absolutely no rule as to
how the sashes and girdles, which
are so prominently featured in the
seasons styles, shall be worn. They
wander about the figure in any direc-
ton the wearer wills and fasten at
any point that it pleases her taste
to choose.
The Roman girdle is made of heavy
soft ribbon in brilliant stripes. 1t is
adjusted about the waist, easily ex.
tending above the normal waist line
and finished with a fiat, shirred bow
There is an occasional exception to
this method Of finishing. however
For slender people a bow of three
