SASHES IMPORTANT.
They Are Used on Almost All Gowns
to Harmonize Color Schemes.

The sash occupies IN important
place on frocks. 1t envelops the form
tightly, having the air of holding he
puff above or below in place, and the
sash is anything from half Il yard to a
yard and a half in width. The ends
and loop stand up coquettishly against
the figure, and the most effective are
in stripes, both large and small.
Sometimes the sash is OF white and
black, though the dress may be, for
instance, Of periwinkle blue touched in
coral. The white and black do not
add color to the ensemble. but, on the
contrary, contribute to the harmony
Of the costume.
The plain skirt is seen no more for
afternoon wear, not v for elderly
women. There must be fat puffs or
rufles or a tunic. but something youth
ful must be there.

PEACOCK Feather IN FASHION

The White One Is Now All the Rage
In Paris.
The PariSienneS seem to have gone
crazy over peacock feathers and In all
cOlOrs. This is an extraordinary fash
ion, for the majority Of women cher
ish Il superstitious feeling against
wearing feathers of this description.
Nevertheless the rage continues. Pure
white peacock feathers are the der
nier cri in Paris. They are freely
used O. hats and toques, and they
also appear in surprising quantities at
the opera and all the smart theaters
in the guise Of hair ornaments.
1t is Il curious fact that II sees far
more dyed or bleached peacock feath-
ers than those in the natural tints. The
superstition run that peacock feathers
are only unlucky in their natural state.
All the mischief is supposed to be
taken out of them when they pass
through the dyer's hands. This is Il
curious theory. but many women
must accept it because Of the number
Of dyed feathers sees at the pres
ent moment. For any one who Is
quite free from superstition a pure
white chip hat trimmed with high
white eye feathers is undoubtedly at
tractive.

that he would look in occasionally as

SEPARATE WAISTS SNUG.
Whether Plain or Dressy They Must
Fir Smoothly,

The latest fashion tendencies indicate
the discontinuance Of the loose effect
in blouses and shirt waists, says the
Dry Goods Economist.
The separate waist. whether dressy
or plain, must fit smoothly over the
bust and be drawn snugly in at the
waist line.
In the dressy models many extreme
styles are seen. Some OF these show
the semi-tit, while others are finished
to wear on the outside Of the skirt.
In either case the figure curves
are suggested in the fronts, and to
further emphasize the fitted idea the
girdles are drawn in sufficiently ut the
waist to slightly outline the figure.
