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
year not soul In the household has
been overlooked-there 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 cOrsage roses and other flow
ers, and small nosegays of little rib
1on 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
It about the end of the rubber stem.
