LAST WORD IN RIBBON STYLES
Matters Of Importance Which Women
VIII Do Well to Keep In
tho Memory.

Watch out for velvet ribbons. They
are to be used very freely this spring
and summer for dress trimmings.
Also be on the lookout for taffeta
ribbons in narrow styles not over an
inch and one-half wide with corded
edges and rather thin texture.
These will be broadly used and espe-
cially smart in the new colorings.
In the millinery field, the vogue for
ribbon trimmings will follow that
which now exists for vegetable trim
mings.
Plaided effects will enter as we'll as
satin ribbons in black and in black
and white effects.
1t is possible for hat trimmings to
become very dependent upon ribbon
trimmings this season.
The band and streamer styles are
indicated as well as brim facings of
ribbons.
Bengaline and wolfe ribbons are also
on the tapis.
Embroideries of narrow velvet rib
bon and soutache braids will be smart
trimmings for cloth, muslin and silk
dresses.

NOT FOR THE STOUT
SHORT, FULL SKIRTS ADAPTED
FOR SLIM FIGURES.
Average Woman Of Middle Age VIII
Find II Hard to Wear the Coming
styles-One of the New
Picture Hats.

Although the outline of the moment
cannot be said to be early Victorian.
because of the generous dimensions OF
the waist, it is yet true that from the
waist down the newest outline recalls
the quaint fashions which were in vo-
que when the great Queen Victoria
was young girl.
There is the same very short. and
very full skirt and-more often than
not-the same shapeless coatee which
opens in front over little lace or tulle
chemisette.
1t may be said at once that the
gowns Of the immediate future will be
exceedingly attractive when worn by
just the right girl or woman. but 1t is
hard to see how they can be made
possible for the average woman Of
thirty-ive or forty.
OF course, 1t is true that our dress
makers are clever at arranging and al
tering existing styles to suit individual
forms, but at the same time the fact
remains that a very short, full skirt
can never look really we'll on stout
figure.
The illustration shows one Of the
new picture hats made Of white vel
vet. The fiat brim is double and the
trimmings consist of quaint cockade
made of black MORE ribbon and sable.
This model has been carried out in
dark blue mirror velvet and also in a
heavy make of black satin.
The important point is that the trim
ming should be quite small, br. uncom-

the politician, Indignantly.
The friend was astonished.
How do you figure you're going to

A quick and effective way to clean

To clean white plumes, take one
quart of gasoline and divide 1t into

Of flour and mix with the larger part,
then shake the plume thoroughly in
this part and rinse it in the smaller
part. Shake well in the air to dry
and to destroy the odor of the gaso-
line. The tinsel brads and ribbons
that are so much used at present can
be cleaned or refreshed by washing
them with a toothbrush that has been
dipped first in suds and then in am
