SPRING FROCKS
ARE A-FLUTIER
WITH RIBBONS
Fashion Revels in Ribbons
This Year-Sashes
Are Popular.

Once in so often Fashion takes q
tremendou fancy for ribbons and when
she does she revels in ribbons: she
has q perfect orgy Of ribbons. Just
now is a time for a recurrence Of this
has turned up ribbons IN the 1919
revolution and they flutter and float,
trail and loop from the top Of the sar-
torial wheel sprinkNng all types of
dress, as paper streamers flung from
skyscrapers IN a holiday covered
pedestrians passing in the streets.
Whole bodices are made Of ribbon.
Blouses are fashioned Of ribbons set
together with h~erringbone stitches, or
with narrowless insertions. Dance
frocks have ribbons sewed on the
skirts like tucks. q Normal frocks have
wide, handsome ribbons draped and
Topped like fabrics. And sashes are
of supreme importance in Fashions
present scheme of things.
Sashes OF all Widths
Some sashes axe half q yard wide:
these are made Of rich brocade or
that the ribbon drapes into soft, sup
pie folds about the waistline and
spreads into full width in the sashs-
ends. Other sashes are in cravat
width: there are ven ribbon sashes
no moro than an inch wide and. some
times these narrow ribbons are used
in punches, many ends fluttering over
the skirt. Such an effect is shown in
a lovely little frock Of dawn pink
silk net rufaed and rufhed from hem
to belt and over a basque bodice of
pink silk net with tiny frills running
straight r the bust and out over
the kimono sleeve. The ~decolletage
Is almost childishly simple-quite high
both in net outer bodice and satin
under bodice: and this youthful neck
line together with the futtering half
sleeve and the gaily fllred skirt make
the little frock ,enchantingly gtrlish
and innocent in effect.
The satin bodice is draped in basque
effect over the skirt and over the
waistline drapery is drawn a sash
made of may narrow rainbow ribbons
in pastel shades of pale pink, pale
blue and heliotrope. The grouped rib
bons are made into a bow at the front
(yet the bodice, you see, fastens at
are attached silk flowers in the pastel
tints. clusters of these little flowers
in grouped c9lors are caught to the
skirt and bodice here and there. Could
a prettier frock be imagined for a
debutante?
Six Sashes on One Frock.
Another youthful dance frock boasts
no less tnan SIX SaSAeS Inc picture
shows how they are arranged; four
in panel effects, the ribbon
passing over the shoulders, and two
hanging from the waistline
at front and back. There is still an
other ribbon sash tied around the sat-
in underskirt at the knee and drawing
in the skirt slightly at this point be-
meath the floating outer skirt of float
ing silk net. The color scheme Of this
frock is very smart according to this
seasons notion. The skirt is Of faint
salmon pink net and the bodice of
satin in matching tint. The under
skirt is Of silver tissue. The ribbons
are faint Natter blue-a soft grayish
blue that is most lovely with the SAL
mon and silver glints Of the costume
and each sashend is knotted and
trimmed with two silk flowers, one
pale salmon pink. and the other pale
Natter blue. This frock, also, has a
simple little bodice that comes over
the waistline in basque effect and tho
upper edge OF. the bodice has a casing
through which is. drawn q narrow.
drawstring Of, silver ribbon-you can
see the little ribbon bow,.tied in. front.
This is a new idea-drawing up a
bodice top like a camisole-but it is
good idea for the sibbon draw string
holds the bodice firmly and prevents
sagging; and the Yibbon may be adj
justed after the hbdice ID hooked at
the back.
