1) Ribbon Craze Hits London as Novel _ tDesigns Appear b= & LONDON, January 15.—The ribbon eraze has reached its height. It has Deen rising for a long time, but real- 1y now London has gone absolutely ribbon mad, Today everything is trimmed, adorned, garnished and em- Dellished with ribbon. It would seem that the ribbon man- ufacturers have been the first to get themselves in hand and to find fresh expression for their genius. While other materials, silks, satins and vel- wvets show almost the same designs eaves as we had in 1914, rib- are fashioned on entirely hew lines utterly unlike those of the days of lang syne. The ribbons now coming to us from France, from the famous manufac- turers of St. Etienne, show a bewil- dering variety in fashion and fasci- nation. They come in all widths and de- signs. Some are very wide, to be ‘used as sashes to transform plain gowns into smart ones. They also show all varieties of material, satin, faille, taffetas and velvets, warped or woofed with gold, silver or other col- ored metal threads. There are even ribbons of crepe and of net printed with metal designs. Some are made entirely of gold or silver or steel frosted over with color. X Not only dresses but millinery is often made up entirely of ribbon. Several narrow widths sewn close together, and lapping one over the other, form the top of a broad toque while twisted together; other ribbons of various and.contrasting colors form the brim.
