Ribbon Groupings on Overblouse
BY ANNE RIrrENHousE.

If-you watched clothes with any
degree Of analysis last season. you
must have marveled at the over
whelming popularity OF a few frocks
above all others. Among these was
a ribbon gown by Rolande, of Paris.
which was so commonly worn over
our continent that the youngsters
nicknamed 1t 1.-THE Ford" 1t ran
even with the Jenny frock. which had
one wing drapery behind and one In
front of the arms. The Vionnet frock
was the third, with it's groups of fine
pleatings, fan-shaped.
When the American buyers gath
cred in the new house Of Rolande
they began to see more ribbon gowns.
1t astonished them. But the designer
has a CONVICTION that one season was
not enough for them, somewhat as
Callot has held for fifteen years that
a certain upward drapery should be
! standardized, and Worth believes
that no woman is properly dressed in
the evening unless she caraes rhine
stones somewhere on a black velvet
! frock. Even during the war. these
brilliants were used, even though the
word Rhine, was taboo.
A bit newer. however, than the rib
| bon frock by Rolande. Is her over
blouse, which is sketched today. 1t
ing originality. and Is intended to be
worn with a separate skirt. as the
| fashion for that admixture is well
established.

ribbon is white crepe de cine, which
shows up strikingiy the red and

short sleeve gives it's quota of rib
bons. BY the way. there is frock
which does the same this season. 1t
| is black and carries punches of point
ed red ribbon on its sleeves. as Charles
Stuardt did; also the English Boy
Scouts do it. and the Brittany horses
| wear them on the ears.
There is something more of the
South Sea island. however. about this
new blouse than of old England. One
who struggled for individuality
| might substitute silk leaves for the
| ribbon.
| The long colored ribbon about the
neck still survives. One of the new

could see his mother and his brother
and sisters sitting at the place way
down the Laughing Brook where the
trail of his father had ended. About
halfway to them was a big rock
right in the middle of the Laughing
Brook The little Fox hardly noticed
it at first. But presently he noticed
that the top of that big rock wasn't

it wasn't like the tops of other rocks.
The little Fox sat up little

little Fox stared and stared. fres.

dancing over that big rock. The lit

times. 1t seemed to him that the

by a gentle. sensitive, highly cultured
lady-his mother. She herself was
the most perfect exemplar of that
ideal. Edwin loved his mother, and
no never questioned the correctness
of the ideal she set before him. Then
along came Mary, and because he was
drawn to Mary's bright. hazel eyes,

and kind heart, Edwin fitted her into
that ideal with neatness and dispatch
and married her. -.

Hash.
All Jokes aside, my favorite dish
is hash have never actually
been in the kitchen to see hash pass
through. the various stages of its
epicurean development, but 1 i'm
aeine hash Is manufactured some
thing like this:
First the father must eat a big
lunch. the mother must fill herself
mn on cake in the afternoon and
the children must have spoiled stom-
achs. This condition of affairs ruins
the evening meal completely and
there is plenty of meat left over
for hash the next day.
The cook takes the beef or veal
or whatever. it is and throws it into
the electric fan. The flying bits
of meat are caught on ping pong
rackets by experts and knocked back
into a pot that contains a large duan-
tity of mashed potatoes. Then the
fire Is lighted and the cook can GO
out to an afternoon movie.
The beauty of hash is that, no mat
ter how it tastes. you think 1t is all
right. There is no standard flavor for
hash. Hash is fundamentally acct
dental, so it has no traditions to live
