Annually the ribbon counter blooms
out a month or SO before the holidays
with all sorts of new and lovely be-
longings for everybody. Its appeal to
the eternal feminine is as certain as
the sunrise, no more to be resisted
than that of flowers or children. This
been Observation-Disclosures is something
made of ribbon from everybody from
the baby to grandpa.
To begin with there are innumerable
bags-knitting, sewing, shopping bags.
bags to hold handkerchiefs, slippers.
etc, party and opera bags. There are
small lamp and candle shades, and
little folding screens to stand on the
reading or dressing table. There are
glorious cushions for bedroom lounges
or the living room. and an army Of
bows of all sorts. There are the per-
ennial cOrsnge roses and other flow
ers. and small nosegays Of little rib
bon flowers for the coat or fur neck
piece, to be worn on the street.
In the little group of novelties pic
tured here there are corsage orna-
ments and small bit of neckwear.
The ribbon rose Is made of pink satin
ribbon In two shades, cut into short
lengths to form the petals. 1t is not
difficult to make when the breach Is
once acquired. Millinery stems and
foliage and millinery stamens are used
with ribbon flowers. The center Of
the rose Is formed by folding the dark
er shade In the ribbon and wrapping
1t about the end of the rubber stem.

calls fur of this kind "blue WOLF" On
"kit fox" or some other name to which
1t is entitled only by his cleverness in
dyeing 1t. The wearers of these pelts
knew better than to be caught nap
ping near a wolf. and were not on
speaking terms with any fox.
When the out-of-doors girl of the
north sets about acquiring a coat to
live in, she will do well to consider
these fur-trimmed, plush coats, that
are shown in considerable variety.
Like fur, the plush coat can be worn
anywhere and any time. They are all
long, reaching nearly to the bottom of
the skirt. In this model the back is
cut with flare. the front plain and
straight with fullness enough at the
sides to hang in folds. A narrow belt
across the front is made of the plush
and the plain coat sleeves have deep
cuffs of 1t. These coats are usually
lined with lining satin OF the same
sturdy character as the plush.

GERMANY BANKRUPTAFTER WAR

Washington, May 3-Creation of
central purchasing committee in
Washington for all supplies bought in
the United States for the allied gov
ernments was forecast here today by
Sir Hardman Lever, financial expert
of the British war mission. Sir Hard
man was careful to say that negotia-
lions to this end still were incomplete,
but he pointed out why Joint direct
ing bureau would be essential to Sc
cure the most economical administra-
ton Of the huge credits authorized by
this country and the fairest distrib-
ution of supplies among the various
nations. The American government is
preparing to do its part toward seeing
that the Allies get their moneys worth
for every dollar spent here.
Discussing the world financial sit
uation, the British expert expressed
the opinion that Germany will be
practically bankrupt In the credit
markets after the war Sir Hartman
said the financial aid OF the United
States had relieved Great Britain Of
a load Of anxiety.
