EASY TO MAKE SMART TIES

Fashionable Jabots May Be Designed From Black and White Ribbons of Satin. Smart ties can be made from black and white satin ribbon four inches wide. A good looking jabot is made from a six-inch strip of three-inch ribbon in soft satin ribobn, which check or dot. Round the bottom edge with inch silk fringe and across the top put a satin butterfly bow in the same shade. This bow may have double loops o neach side without ends, or can have two loops and two ends, the latter pointed and finished with a small tassel. For quite young girls the model is prettily made of plaid ribbon, with black fringe and a black bow. A stiff, rather formal, effect Is had from a jabot of white satin two inches wide at the top and four and a half inches at the bottom, Which is cut straight across at the end that reaches to the bust line. The upper part is drawn stiffly over two straight, stiff loops on each side without ends, or An inch and a half from the bottom put a two inch band of filet lace insertion, and above it three crocheted buttons, one above the other. This jabot is especially attractive In vivid green satin, with ecru lace t banding and small gilt buttons. A double frill of black or emerald green satin ribobn is cut seven Inches wide at the bottom, with the ends slanting sharply and five inches from the top. There are .double strips, one eight inches long and the other six and one-half, and both are side-plaited into one over the other one and onehalf inch at the top. The plaits are beld by three small green buttons on the back and gilt on green. On either side to the top is a bow effect, made by inch-wide frills of plaited point de esprit. A dainty effect to wear with a close turnover collar is made from a stiff Bquare bow of two loops and two ends of half-inch velvet ribbon, with a tiny garland of pink, yellow or lavender roses and green foliage twisted through the knot.
