THE HOUSEHOLD
THE ROLE OF RIBBONS

The ribbon counters these days are fas-
cinating Sometimes you rather wonder
whether the ribbon people have right
to claim some of the beautiful reels of
slken goods that they call ribbon. You
would think that if you were the people
that had the silk goods counter in the
store you would want to put up fight
to have in your department some of those
wonderful textiles that are Kept on the
ribbon counter. Sometimes they are al
most half az yard wide. They are used
often not as ribbons are, but as silk by
the yard is used, to cut UP into waist
coats, gilets, cuffs, collars and other
trimmings of the frock.
Most of the most striking of these new
ribbons have metallic background that
is woven in with brilliant colored silk
that goes to make the design of the rib
bon. They are the most gorgeous sort
of brocade. One of these ribbons shows
a design of color and metal that goes to
Egypt for it's inspiration. There is
gorgeous Scarab and above the conven-
ticnal rising sun of Egypt with the usual
lotus flower design at the sides. Then
there is a ribbon showing a convention
allied parrot done in the most gorgeous
parrot shades combined with gold There
are others that show a curious Chinese
design which as you look at 1t must have
been inspired by the four queens of the
desk OF cards. Only it is entirely Chinese
in execution and coloring.
These ribbons are very useful for max
ing giets and dressmakers are making
use of them to a great extent. For eve
ming gowns they have wide usefulness.
You know girdles have come to the fore
and sometimes these ribbons are used to
form into loose, sloppy girdle that Is
caught around the waist and hips.
Very narrow ribbons are also being
used for girdle purposes These are made
by taking about two and half yards OF
ribbon about half inch wide, usually
picot edge. Sometimes there are three
lengths laf the same color, sometimes the
three lengths are all of different color
yellow, blue and old rose, perhaps. These
three strands are brought loosely around
the girdle line OH top of the frock and
then tied in bow or crossed in knot
at the left front leaving the ends TO
hang loosely at the left side. Young girls
are buying these ribbons to make into
girdles to add to their blue serge or
black silk frocks

wipe your eyes Take off your sack
cloth and dust the ashes out of your

money would change that husky lot of
kids for the worse, not for the better.
Don't you remember the Alexanders?
They had a big farm down home and
somebody snooped around after a bad
smell and found lake of oil under the
farm, and what happened?
They moved into a college town where
the boys could be educated and fitted out
for useful life. l was talking to old
man Alexander down at the club the
other night, and he is broken old man.
What do you suppose happened to
those five boys?
Tom, the first one died while he was
still sophomore in college. He and
three of his classmates each bought one
of those calabash pipes when they first
came out, and in a friendly contest to
see which would color his pipe first,
young Alexander smoked himself to
death. and the old man told me, with
tears in his eyes, that the hearse they
took him to the cemetery in smelled Of
nicotine for a month.
THE next son took to the automobile
like small boy takes to snowbaling, and
became a speed maniac of the highest
type. At last it happened. He bent a
60 horse power racing car around a tele-
graph pole nine feet above the ground,
and they picked differential gears and
crank shafts from between his ribs. and
he would have made pretty fair-look-
ing corpes If he hadn't swallowed mon
key wrench in the wreck
The third one flew away. The flying
