Yards of it, miles of !it, are to be our portion. One American designer insisted that he could make an entire collec- !tion of clothes from ribbon—hats, wraps, frocks, sport clothes and blouses, And he did. Every . gar- ment was. fashioned from it. The effect was not only sensational, but successful, to say nothing of sugges- tive to the amateur. PN It is rarely that a gown escapes a splash of _ribbon ‘on its surface, and very few hats come to a woman's head without a band of it, a cockade of it or a few layers or ends hang- ing at the back or side. 1t is not used as much for girdles as It was. Dressmakers prefer to fashion them of curious and decora- | tive fabrics ‘with crystals or metallic | embroidery, but an alluring gown will have a rosette of ribbon with ends nlaced a; one hip and a demure | gown wil hgve cascades of ribbon somewhere about it or long ends| grouped tugether form a panel. { There are hip-length overblouses | made ontirely of ribbon. There are flounced skirts édged with ribbon, not the ?ull gathered flounces of the . second emplre, but the fat-tiered | ones which do not conceal the figure. | “Lhere are big and little sleeves, made from strips-of ribbon, which hang loosely from shoulder to waist; there are hats a-plenty that are not touch- ied with any fabric except satin rib- bon. It is a banner vear for this ac- cessory. Of that there is no doubt. { Tho black lace frock in the sketch shows how one dressmaker uses wide rose satin ribbon to give distinction to a straight chemise.

There several possible explana- ions of the source of the family nmr.oi of Greene, but all of them are rather unsatisfactory, with the exception of ble that in somo instances | the name originated in a sobriquet of the same type as “Robert the Red.” the “Black Douglas™ and the like. But in judging the degree of probability of this we have two significant facts to guide us. Green is not likely to be the color of a man’s complexion. Red, white, black, brown, pink and even yellow are ail probgbilities of de- scriptive value when applied vari- ously to the description of hair, beard and complexion. But no green. Then we have modern analogy. Nicknames of color are very common today in rough-and-ready = speech, and are quite popular among oolboys. We have our _ “Reddles, ‘Blackies,” | | { thock (i i nothing but gasp and yell and get in and ‘the third degree {quent effects seen in a deep burn. ‘Plukeys,” “Whiteys” and the lik: !but who ever heard of a “Greenc The use of “green” to denote gullibil- ity is a thoroughly modern usage, one unknown to medieval Epgland.

Today the word “green” is often used to denote a grassy stretch of ground. The English of the eleventh, I twelfth arid thirteenth centuries, the period in which a large proportion of the family names were formed, used it that way also.
