dress Is evolved. Designers and manu-
facturers OF ribbons play a very Inn
portant role In 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 frivolity I;
now they are Just as much standard
materials from which to evolve clothes
as are cottons and woolens.
Ribbons In Brilliant Hues.
Cabot shows great Partially 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
Cabot sash with stiff, looped ends is
OF heavy reversible ribbon, grosgraln
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
one side in panel effect and the girdle
knotted at the other.
This method OF allowing bits of rib
bon or panels OF silk to hang at either
side OF the dress, and. In many In
stances. fall below the hem is favor
ite with many designers. While 1t
has been used for some time, new
variations OF It are constantly appear

chemise with cascadlng sides. A
straight piece OF the silk is cut out
at the sides TO form sleeves In one

slightly girdled at the waistline by a

the sides In twisting cascades. The
trimming consists OF rows OF double

are three on the skirt and one around
the bodice. The same sort OF stitching
finishes the neck and sleeves.
Lace seems perlshable material

up the mode. Some OF our prettlest
dresses have no trimming other than

One of our own great American
dressmaking establishments is showing

dress which illustrates effectively tn,
new vogue for simplicity. The bodice

Laees OF Every Pattern and Tint.

industry has received great impetus
from this continued demand and lace
makers have been constantly renewing
their efforts TO produce even mOr'
beautiful things. Whether the furol
over laces is propaganda for this lin,

or whether the fashion for clothes
made OF lace has stimulated lacemak

woman who likes TO be suitably ant

almost lnexhaustlble variety Of color
and Datterns from which TO choose.
