SASH MAKES COSTUME

FRETTV NOVELTY THAT IS JUST NOW MUCH IN VOGUE. ■ 1 . —* ’• ' ■ Will Do Much Toward ,Brightening • Simple aAi Unassuming FrockTaffeta or Satin of Brilliant Hue Used. A very pretty Parisian novelty, to be especially noted since the vogue Of the cuirassier bodice has come into its own again, is the bayadere sash, swathed and draped over the hips in eastern fashion. Often a quite simple and unassuming lingerie frock can be made quite smart and much more interesting through the use of such a sash in taffeta or satin in some brilliant hue. The continued warm weather brings out many delightfully fashioned frocks at tea time and in the evening, and probably the most notable features in all of them are these new sash effects and the variety of materials used in one design. The different fabrics now introduced in the same costume when mingled successfully produce a very original and personal toilet. Take, for instance, the delightful frock of the sketch, which was recent ly seen at a private reception. In it are combined straw-colored chiffon, yellow alencon lace, and amethyst velvet ribbon and taffeta. The. long-sleeved blouse cut rather low about the neck is made over a white net foundation. It fastens down

the center front and the neck Is finished with a finely plaited ruffling of the chiffsm. The backis trimmed with a lace plastron, hung in collar effect from the shoulders and partly veiling the amethyst velvet ribbon* that cross over the back of the blouse. Similar ribbons are crossed over the front and .are tied Ln small knots with the back ones just over the shoulders. In front another laee plastron is cut in half and hung from the shoulders with a Httle gathering on either side, thus veiling, as in back, a portion of the crossed velvet ribbons. Then comes the bayadere celnture. This is of amethyst taffeta and will re-

quire two breadths of 19-inch silk or one of yard-wide variety. It has a vertical gathered heading at the center, back where the dress fastens, and the gathers must be tucked invisibly in ptece about the figure. This requires 1 care to avoid a too studied appearance of precision. The bow is large and arranged at the lower edge <ln hack, The lace tonic is long and full and finished with plaited chiffon ruffling. The underskirt is pf chiffon with ruffles of itself.—Washington Star.
