Novel Ornament.

A*very pretty gown seen recently was of gray chiffon over soft silk, simply cat, and practically its only ornament, besides a gold colored silk yoke with Chinese chrysanthemum embroidery, was an enormous ribbon chrysanthemum at the belt Each petal of the flower was a strip of narrow ribbon, with a triangular fold In the middle of it. that turned It over and gave s little heavier portion to weigh It down. These folds were Ironed heavily into the ribbon, and then the Innumerable petals were sewed In chrysanthemum shape at the waist line with gold thread (the ribbon Itself was gold color). Nearly all the petals were allowed to droop and fall In the natural way, only enough being tacked back to give the fluff/ flower effect. / —** And that ribbon chrysanthemum made all the difference between simply a charming gown and a really stunning gown.
