IN HUES OF THE RAINBOW

Never Were Ribbons So Varl-Colored as Is the Fancy at This Special Time.

Never were ribbons so beautiful. That sounds trite enough, but it is true. They are simply marvelous. The picot edges are in varied effects, and in different shades combine beautifully. Moire ribbons are extremely fashionable this season, and will be much used for trimming gowns. Some bf them are bordered with velvet, and there are attractive moire ribbons bordered with a narrow cord of gold. Chiffon velvet ribbons are also in great) demand for trimmings. They come in the most exquisite shades and are used with brocade, often to accentuate one of the colors in the design. All the red shades, from vivid pink to the darkest wine color, are used in the brocaded ribbons. Indian red, oxblood red, the extraordinarily startling shade called “primrose,” the soft and becoming fuchsia, American beauty, coral and all the red shades. Amber ribbons, in line with the present craze for amber, are seen in great variety of design and many shades of the color, and all the shades of brown are more in evidence than they have been for several years.
