TvHE fact that ribbons Of various sorts are, as they say, be-
coming more and more active at the present time is interesting
aside from the fact that this activity doubtless gives employ
ment to hundreds and hundreds of people who might otherwise
have nothing to do. 1t reflects an important tendency in fashions
and an increasing disposition on the part Of women to bother
with the small rather fussy details Of dress. 1t is not alone the
dressmakers who are using ribbons to achieve the desirable
feminine effect Women who make their own clothes are buying
ribbons for use as trimming and women who make none Of their

The return Of the waistline IN
fashions has something to do with
this revived interest in ribbons.
for there is no simpler or more
effective way OF marking the line
OF division between skirt and
bodice than by a sash or belt OF
ribbon. Dresses OF Empire or
Directoire suggestion with rather
short. snug bodices are trimmed
with ribbon from an inch 10 an

serves as a belt with loops and

about four yards OF ribbon for
this purpose-possibly a yard

SUBMARINE
SURVIVES
PARLEY
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

LONDON, Jan. 27 4NSD -
Delegates to the five-poWer naval
disarmament conference here have
definitely decided to abandon all
discussions aimed at abolition OF
the submarine, it was stated by
the Evening News today
This decision iS regarded as an
important concession to France
and Italy, both Of which believe
submarines are indispensable to
their defenSes.
Japan Hurl1 BOmbShell
The Evening News also declares
that Reijiro Waxatsuki. chief of
the Japanese delegation. threw
a bombshell into the meeting Of
the five chief delegates at 10
Downing ST. this morning by
asking that discussion of large
merchant ships be included in
the Sagenda. of the conference.
The former Japanese premier
requested that q clause be formu-
lated forbidding building of ner-
chant ships capable of carrying
anything larger than siX-inch guns
in wartime.
The meeting of the Big Five
delegates this morning failed to
produce the agenda which is an
absolute necessity before the
parley can get started on it's
actual laborS.
After three hours discussion.
the conference adjourned until
Tuesday morning, when further
efforts will be made to draw up
the program which is providing
such a difficult task.

after the conference had ad-
