MAKES AN ATTRACTIVE SASH

Pale Green Satin Ribbon Lends Itself to Almost Any Costume—How to Fashion It. One of the most attractive sashes I have seen this season was made of pale green satin ribbon eight inches wide, fdided in several narrow folds and encircling the waist in a rather narrow band. In the center of the back is a fiat bow with two loops and two long ends that reached almost to the hem of the stt-t. These ends each had three lace medallions, graduated in size, set In, the smaller one at the top. I thought what an easy thing it would be for a young girl to make for herself, for the prioe of this sash was quite beyond ,the means of a woman wi£h a slender parse... * Fold the waistband' ribbon 6k a straight pieces of belting and catch it down un<|srnte&th with silk matching the ribbon in color, an<r sew hooks and eye* on each end of this to faßten it around the waist. 'Pin the lace medallions In place and sew them down firmly on the edge with fine white cotton, then mat away the ribbon underneath, leaving about a quarter of an inch to turn back and whip down on the wrohg aide, so that no frayetT edges of the ribbon win show through the lace. Sew the ends to the ribbon-covered belting, then the hoyv over them, and the Bash la ready to wear. The same kind of a sash without lac* Insets, bat with each end edged with deep silk fringe, makes an at* tractive sash to wear with a summer frock.- Ton will find it quite a simple matter to make yourself one of these

pretty sashes if you are fond of needlework and have what is known as good taste.” —Exchange.
