THE DAY OF THE SASH.

It Has Come Again, Bringing In Elaborate Creations.

When it was announced in Paris that fashion leaders had sanctioned the revival of sashes every girl who had an heirloom in the shape of an old embroidered sash congratulated herself, but, alas, while we are to have sashes it is “with a difference.” The new sashes fasten snugly around the waist while the sash ends fall in all sorts of elaborate bows and folds. Some sashes are cut with double streamers like the one in the picture, which is of flowered ribbon and lace fringed with silk tassels. The new sash is quite as intricate as the Jabot aud needs the same trained hand to give it the proper finish. Sash and girdle arrangements are of many kinds. Big bows and long, wide scarf ends of black malines appear on some of the light hued models. The new velvet with taffeta back In color is effectively used for sash effects, a wide end in two loops lying flat, one over the other, but of different lengths, being a popular method of using the velvet ribbon or satin. This gives much the effect of the detached skirt panel and breaks the tight skirt line in the back without introducing any odd fancy.
