 It happens that the colors combined in this girdle will harmonize with all most any light-colored gown and arc particularly good with cream color or gold. Just now thero is a craze for pale yellow and soft gold colored gowns made u1 with plenty of fine laces. A girdle like the one just de- scribed is lovely with such a gown.
 The second girdle is made of satin ribbon in three pale colors-light blue. light pink, and heliotrope or lavender. The ribbons are gathered over a cord along the edges and where they are joined. Each ribbon is about four inches wide. The standing loop is short with a knot of the three colors at it's base. There are three short ends graduated in length, one of each color
 As an exquisite finishing touch small half-blown roses, made of the three colors, are set primly across the bow below the knot

T HE liking for broad girdles that ! swathe the waist and extend them selves below and above the normal waist line is foatcred by the new dan cling steps These require so much freedom of the whole figure that the successful management of the waist becomes a matter of great importance. Two-piece gowns. especially, must be provided with girdles which more than cover the vast line Then. if the va Tious dips and Whirlings and giides which have captivated the dancing world cause the waist and skirt to part company the broad girdle hides this disarray.
 Two new designs, among those known as Tango girdles," are pie tured here. One of them is made of velvet ribbon in g delightful reddish yellow nasurtium color combined with a cream-colored gauge ribbon with small pink roses and green fol. iage embroidered on it. The combina- tion is a thing of beauty in colors.
 In making this girdle an edge of the gauge ribbon is pasted to the un- derside of the velvet ribbon for that portion that extends about the waist, The short standing loop is made of the two ribbons also pasted together Stitches are carefully put in and in- visible, on the right side of the velvet ribbon.
