Milady's Gown

dress is evolved. Designers and manu-
facturers of ribbons play a very inn
portant role I'm the clothes industry of
the present day. We have come TO
rely greatly on ribbons as staple ar
ticles Of dress. A long time ago
taste for these strips of silk and velvet
was considered the height of frivollty;
now they are just as much standard
materials from which to evolve clothes
as are cottons and woolens.
Ribbons In Brilliant Hues.
Cullot shows great partiality for the
ribbon sash, and her liking for gor-
geous fabrics Is seen in the sort of rib
bons she selects. Usually she prefers
those of heavy quality and elaborate
weave. Through her sashes she
achieves marvellous color effects. A
Callot sash with stin, looped ends is
of heavy reversible ribbon, grosgrain
on one side and satin on the other,
and features brilliant shades Of greens
and blues The loops may be worn at
the back or they may be placed at
Cne side i'm panel effect and the grdle
kaotted at the other.
This method of allowing bits of rib
boa or panels of silk to hang at either
side of the dress, and, in many in.
stances, fall below the hem is a favor
ite with many designers. While it
has been used for some time, new
variations of it are constantly appear
ing.

cEemise with cascading sides. A
straight piece of the silk is cut out
at the sides to form sleeves In one
with the body Of the frock, which is
slightly girdled at the waistline by a
very narrow belt \ piece of the ma
terial is attached TO the uuderarm
seam and the free edges, which are
piCot finished, allowed to ripple down
the sides in twisting cascades. The
trimming consists of rows Of double
hemstitching, done by hand. There
are three Oh the skirt and one around
the bodice. The same sort of stitching

Lace seems a perishabe material

been chosen TO play its part in gil,

Laces Of Every Pattern and Tint
Ii is safe to predict a continue,
vogue for laces. There is every in
dicution that they will play as impor
tant part i'm dress this summer a
they did last year. The lacemakini
industry has received great impeW
from this continued demand and lace
makers have been constantly renewing
their efforts to produce even NOR
beautiful things Whether the furo
| over laces is propaganda for this lin
Of work, which was almost ruined dur
ing the early years of the recent wal
or whether the fashion for clothe
made of lace has stimulated lacemaB
ing are matters over which we nee
give ourselves little concern. The
pertain to the trade The things tina
interest the woman of fashion or tn
woman who likes to be suitably an
prattily dressed is the fact that lace
still are very much in the present-da
fa5hion picture and that she has a
Mnlost ineNhaustible variety Of color
and patterns from which to choose.
