STRIPED RIBBONS
 FALL FAVORITES

One of the newest ribbons is about eight inches wide and is ~warp-striped, with black, blue, red and green in varying widths in the stripping. It is 6 heavy weave. the co1ors are strong and of heavy body, and the ribbon is rich and suitable for the highest class of costume or other work.
 Warp striped ribbons .1ave become popular, say some. merchants and the demand at present exceeds the sup ply. Not for some years has the de- mand for this type of ribbon run as strong as it does now. More inquiries are coming in each day and bright colorings seem to be among those most wanted.
 Roman stripes are wanted. and the brighter the colors the better the sale. Bayaderes are among the coming favorites according to one authority.
 In plain ribbons the colorings are bright and warm, though great many of the more conservative coIors are wanted.
 Sash widths and others of similar width, or slightly narrower, for deco rations of costumes, are becoming more popular each day.

Not a long time ago the suspen- der suit was "all the rage" Lately, however, we have seen very little of it. Here is a model that revives the style It will look very smart with a silk sports skirt Note how the bands around the sleeves give it a touch of completeness.
 The blouse is of georgette, with kimono sleeves and a round neck. A few rows of hemstitching and a picot edge about the neck and sleeves give a dainty finish. The girdle, straps and bands are of dark blue crepe de chine, embroidered in unique white silk stitchery. The motif employed is a large block effect with a dainty leaf and flower in alternating blocks.
