row velvet ribbon laced across the
front are the means by which the
bodice rivals the tunic.
A dark and a light color are used to
make the sprightly dress at the right,
and ribbon plays a star role in its
composition. Taffeta ribbon with a
fancy edge makes the side plaitings
that are emphasized on the tunic by
placing them on a light-colored back
ground, which might be of crepe de
chine. The slip-on bodice, with double
friH of plated ribbon about the waist,
has short sleeves heightened by means
of the plated ribbon and finished with
y tie of narrow ribbon. The same
ribbon forms girdle with a half
wreath Of little blossoms set across
the front. Nothing more original or
prettier has made its appearance so
far than this useful frock, but it has
many competitors in spring that is
rich in its variety of attractive tat
fetas.
