derful and fascinating variety OF color.
There has indeed been put forth a
ribbon for every use. They are being
very cleverly handled by designers OF
the greatest repute. That they be-
long with organdie by natural right:
every reader will recognize. One OF
the sweetest, daintiest summer gowns
that has been shown is of sheer white
organdie over the same material in
sheet pink and on the lining are bands
of silver ribbon. six on the straight
gathered skirt and three on the little
cape like wrap that is worn over the
dainty blouse. .'.
Ribbons to give the color effect. are
used upon foundation skirts over which
thin materials are draped and some
times they are put on just to form
straight bands, sometimes in wave
outline and sometimes in more ella
borate designs but always with view
to color. This is season of effects
and the note of color is all important.
and ribbon seems to be the accepted
material for bringing about many OF
the best results. -. -..
In a collection Of imported models
seen recently and which was replete
with interest from many roints OF view.
the various treatments of ribbon made
an especial appeal. A gown designed
as part of spring trousscau was made
of blue and white striped taffeta com.
bined with English eyelet embroidered
muslin and blue velvet ribbon with
picut edges was used to outline the
big rolling collar that extended quite
to the waist line to pass around the
waist and to form long ends that were
looped and caught under the wide
tuck of the tunic. Cotton and silk
are being combined in various ways.
A dainty gown of the same trousscau
was of batiste and silk. The skirt
consisted of three circular ruff1es OF
the batiste each hand embroidered
and bound with blue taffeta with
little blouse Of the same and an over
Jacket of blue taffeta, finished with
picot edges but worn with a girdle OF
narrow velvet ribbon knotted at the
back to form long straight ends. r.
As dainty gown as could be sug-
gested is made with skirt of ecrue
batiste embroidery with little coat
like bodice of tan taffeta in narrow
stripes. This tan taffeta bodice is
finished at the edge Of the open neck
with two inch black velvet ribbons
that is crossed at the front and passed
under the arms to give the Empire
line that is exceedingly becoming.
Wherever one turns, wherever models
are exploited, or wherever we'll dressed
women are met, the various uses Of
ribbon are conspicuous. 1t may be
ribbon used as a girdle, it may be
narrow ribbon passed around the waist
or it may be as trimming, but it will
be there in one form or another. A
fascinating gown that is more than sug-
gestive OF the 1880 period at its best is

the head to the tip of the tail. If the
designs are used for working over
canvas, the size of the birds will of
course depend upon the size Of the
threads. Blue isthe needed color and
if little shading is used to bring out
the contour Of the bird, it will be most
successful For the beak and eyes.
black thread is the best and for the
breasts little brown and just the little
bit of contrasting color greatly ac-
centuates the whole effect. The de-
signs will be found desirable for a
great many different uses. They can
be applied upon sofa pillows or upon
scarf ends or upon almost any purely
decorative article. The transfer can
be applied on any material but If it is
desirable to work by counting the
threads, it will be necessary either to
choose loosely woven fabric, or to
haste thin canvas over the material
and to pull the threads out after the
work is done. Canvas designed es-
pecially for the purpose can be had in
various weights and to give stitches Of
various sizes so that it is possible to

BACK WRENCHED
IN 16-FOOT DROP FROM BARN
RooF-FRANK BANBuRY OF
DANVILLE HAS LUCKY ES-
CAPE.

To fall 16 feet from the roof of a
barn and escape with nothing more
serious than a wrenched back was
the experience of Frank Banbury of
Danville Wednesday afternoon.
Banbury was engaged in roofing a
new barn on the Robert Neiderhouse
farm and slipped over the side. AT
first it was feared that he might be
internally injured, but the physician
attending him stated that while he
was painfully bruised and shaken up
it was not likely that his injuries
would prove serious.
