WHAT YOU CAN ~
Do WITH RIBBONS

The girl who would like to have
good looking accessories at small cost
should buy ribbons with which to
make them.
T. A simple white frock may do duty on
G number of occasions if trimmed up
with different ribbon accessories. At
one time it can have narrow girdle
of black velvet ribbon brought around
the waist, with one long and reaching
below the knees and finished with a
pump bow. A bow Is used at the bust
line and a small one at the middle of
the back.
At another time bring fold of pink
messaline satin around the waist and
finish it at the left side with a diago-
nal bow of five short loops of the rib
bon above a knot and three below,
with two pointed ends. Make satin
rose of the messaline and green velvet
leaves and tuck it in the folds of the
fichu.
A third idea is to use 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.
A quaint Victorian effect can be
given by making 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 upstand.

Colonel Garrard, commanding the fort

Lieutenant Richard c. Burleson, not

suffragette parade here on March 3, a
position which has been rendered

grand marshal, despite Mr.. Garrard's
advice.
Mrs. Garrard called up Mrs. Burle-

said today, and advised her to give
up the office Of grand marshal OF the
parade. Mrs. Burleson later wrote
to Mrs. Garrard and asked whether

the request came from the wife Of the
post commandant in ot'icial position,
Mrs. Burleson said she would give up
the marshalship, but If Mrs. Garrard
was merely making the suggestion

Mrs. Garrard replied that it was

NOTES AND NOVELTIES
OF THE SEASON

Present indications are that linens
and cotton fabrics will be trimmed
with satin or silk buttons. Extended
loops from each button will be also
seen.
For afternoon functions or for morn
ing weddings, all tones of cream, yell
lows, putty, beeswax and chalk are
fashionable. These dyes are best in
satin.
White is sure to continue in fashion
through the summer season. Black is
still worn to a great extent, heavily
touched in white. Navy blue is anoth-
er popular shade.
Silk should never be iron on the
right side, as it will be shiny wherever
the iron has touched it.
Olives, celery and cold macaroni on
lettuce leaves make a good salad.
