Many Uses for Ribbon
From Your Scrap Bag

The number of bags and card cases
and purses that can be made of rib
bon are as myriad as the number of
pieces of ribbon in ones silk scrap
bag. It all depends on the size of the
scrap of ribbon what kind of crea-
tion can be made. The cleyer-tingered
woman can have an almost limitless
number of cunning card cases, purses,
etc., with little work, If she will utilize
the bits Of ribbon she has. The deco
rations and trimmings can be of rib
bon bits, the smallest bit of ribbon
sufiicing for tiny French flower.
Beads combined with the ribbon allow
for attractive decorative schemes.

I'm FRENCH GOWNS
Skirts Wider, but Not So Long
as Last Season; Every Pc
riod Is Represented.

Paris fashions have bloomed this
spring with more than their usual
brightness and beauty, observes a
fashion writer in the New York Times
Although there Is no great change
in the. silhouette as it appears to the
casual eye, there has been an unusual
change in the way in which that sill
h0uette is achieved. Whereas formerly
the straight lines were really cut
straight, now they are made up of COM
binations' of plaits and circular cuts
and Of trimmings and godets and in
serts that are astonishing once they
have been revealed. There seems a
tendency to slip into a more formal
era, doing the trick gently without too
much publicity about its Introduction.
lAt any rate, the skirts are decidedly
wider than they have been and not so
long 1t would seem. This time last
year they We're going down, down,
down, to the CONSERVATION of the wOni-

might have been accepted in France,
and now they are creeping upward
again, though not with any great
speed. They come in different lengths
from different designers, but none Of
them is SO long as to be startling
Sleeves are growing less and less
spectacular because, as the skirts ad-
vance in ornamentation, sleeves neces-
sarily must recede from the center of
the stage Of dress design. Capes and
coats are full and ample in all of their
lines and proportions and are trimmed
with flounces and inserts of the plaits
and panels, so that they become volu-
minous series of lines surrounding the
basic foundation of the figure.
AS for period design, there seems
to be dress for every period. From

had locked the windows but left the
front door unfastened, as Mr.. Slyke
had told him that he, himself, would
attend to it later. In answer to a
question as to whether he had seen
Slyke after Lawrence left. he replied
that he. had not. In fact, he had pot
seen him again alive. He had gone
to his room, leaving the dog in the
living room, as was the custom. His
first knowledge that Slyke was dead
came when he entered his room with
Z Miss Potter.
So far, like all the other witnesses
that had been heard, his testimony
presented nothing that we had not

saying that he had twice heard Miss

who refused to INJECT her eyes. The

When the sound had died away in the
distance, he answered, "Why, yes sir,
