RIBBON FOR DRESS TRIMMING

Many Beautiful Designs Being Effectively Used; Never More Beautiful Than This Year. Ribbon plays an Important part In dress trimmings, accessories, etc., and never have they been more beautiful than they are this year. Many are Interwoven with gold and silver and some are formed almost entirely of dull gold or silver tissue. There are ribbons of satin with paisley spots in old-fashioned tints, and pale taffeta ribbons In rose, mauve and nattier blue, over which are sprinkled at intervals “lucky” lady birds brocaded in dull gold or silver. Striped or checked faille ribbons are extremely fashionable, and among the novelties are ribbons with long weaved fringe at the ends. Various are the ways in which these ribbons are utilized for frock trimmings. They are introduced in the form of inset bands, plaited, shirred or plain, and sometimes as frillings or ruchlngs.
