With a Bolt of Ribbon.

Never before, perhaps. were ribbons
so effectively used they are this
year There is an interesting array of
them in the shops and there are many
interesting ways of using them. There
is. for instance. the hat and bag set
made of ribbon. A wide ribbon. figur-
ed with an embroidered design in SIM
pie outlines. is used for the brim. shir-
red enough where it joins the crown to
make it lie smooth at the outside of
the circumference. Then from the
ribbon cut circle for the top Of the
crown and for the upright part of the
crown use the ribbon straight, folded
or cut, to fit the height required. Such
hat needs no trimming. although
sometimes a long silk tassel is used.
whence it falls gracefully down to the
brim.
Some of them are wide enough for hat
bands. Some are narrower, and are
used to make the attractive little bands
that are worn so much about the neck
of the white blouse. These ribbons
show tennis balls and racquets and
golf balls and clubs. and sometimes,
crops and stirrups and even horses
heads.
There are sport ribbons wide enough
for sashes. too. One shows a black
or dark blue ground. At regular in
tervals there is a tennis net, spread
with yellow threads across the ribbon
Little tennis balls are sprinkled all
over the ribbon and tennis racuuets
in yellow thread. are literally placed.
Some of the new ribbons, with
Chinese and Japanese designs. are un-
usual and effective. They show little
pagodas and all sorts of Chinese
figures. in gay colors. These ribbons
can be used for sashes and hat ribbons
and also for bags.
Then. of course. there are the red
white-and- blue ribbons They come in
many. styles and in all widths. from
the tiny ribbon that can be gathered
into little rosette for the buttonhole.
to the wide ribbon that can be used
with white frocks for a sash. or for
tying boxes or flowers
Some of the ribbons show stripes
running lengthwise. and some show
tiny flags spaced one next to the other.
These. of course. can be cut apart and
used on pins, like little flags.
There is heavy sport ribbon. with
ground of threads of mercerized
linen. and with a design run in with
silk threads in bright colors. The de-
ures. SO made that the colored threads

In all the capes there is no tendency
to hide the openings at the sides which
serve as armholes. There is wide
application of another color with en-
broidery, or pieces of the material cut
into points, scallops or battlements.

with small blue bone buttons and but

When one tires of bright colors, the
mind constantly turns to black and
white checks. There are seasons when
this design is a trfe smarter than
other seasons. but it is always in fash
ion and usually in strong demand. This
season 1t has taken high place in the
affection Of the public. Coat suits. one
piece frocks. capes and other wraps
are made of 1t. 1t is sometimes trimmed
with marine blue or any shade of dark
red. but an application of solid black
Is the best way to treat it.
These capes are about the only kind
of top garment that is not belted: they
swing free and full from the shoulders.
but there is a fashion law against their
being too full. and the dressmakers
have invented several ways Of making
the cut irregular and full Of character.
The house of Cheruit was the first to
revive the waistcoat as an addition to
cape. These waistcoats were of fur.
Of heavy brocade or corded silk and
were Incorporated in swinging army
capes OF dull green. brown or blue. In
order to keep the sides from blowing
away from the figure there were
slashed openings near the selvedge,
through which the hands are thrust to
reach pockets in the waistcoat.
In the summer capes the waistcoat Is
of thin materials, such as embroidered

coats are introduced into blue broad
cloth capes and fastened in front with
the high. cone-shaped button OF the
English navy. By the way, a large
number of these capes are touched up
in some way with army or navy but
tons of the allied countries, to add to
their military appearance.
AS substitute for the conventional
waistcoat which is attached to the cape
at the shoulders, there are two extra
wide pieces cut in one with the fronts.
and they are crossed over the bust to
form a diagonal waistcoat; the ends
cross at the back. at the waist line and
come toward the front to tie in loose
knot.
AS these long ends. as well as the en-

printed crepe, the effect is striking and

whether the three colors will be intro
duo ed into fashion through the entrance
of America into the war; it is ques-
ton as to how they shall be suppressed.
The colors of our flag are exception
ally lovely and bits of red or blue in
troduced into the costume freshen and
enliven 1t: but studied and continuous
array of the three colors joined to-
gether in some type of costume should
become a dead fashion because of it's
monotony, if for nothing else.
The widespread demand for army
capes cut in any fashion that different
sections of the army wear is accepted
by all the makers of women's clothes as
a dominant fashion. 1t has given the
tailors a good chance to break loose
into a mass of work which is ready for
instant sale.
Coats and skirts have not been de-
demanded as much as usual this spring.
and even elaborate afternoon frocks
have been partly replaced by sport
suits; therefore, the coming of these
military capes into the fashions OF the
hour has proved a boon to those who
deal in cloth.
There are far too many designs in
these capes to attempt to describe them
but the general silhouette must be slim.
there must be an opening of some KIND
on each side for the arm. the collar
must be a pretentious and elaborate
affair and the cape must fall well be-
low the knees.
AS a garment it has become serious
rival to the topcoat. This is natural.
Several years of the topcoat as con-
slant garment and its increase in fash
ion during the last two years have put
one OF more into the possession of most
women. until they feel they have
enough topcoats to. last them until the
ashton is dead
For the several varieties of capes that
are worn the choice of materials is
usually limited to thin, dark blue serge.

about fourteen inches long and twelve
inches across. running up to points at
each side and loosely dropping away
from the skirt at the top.
