Yeu knew hew, when Melly's children nil go down with the measles and Melly herself is hurried off te the hospital, Aunt Louisa Is the first person considered te fill the emergency. And hew, when Sally's cook leaves Just en the, day when Sally Is entertaining the brhlge club, Aunt Louisa Is called ever te make the mayonnaise and the Ua varlan cream. similarly, the sash nowadays leaves any trilling duties of ts own te min ister te bereaved parts of the gown, Thus for the evening gown the sash frequently performs the part expected of a train. This Is particularly true of the Informal little evening frock, Make this of crepe de chine, with long sleeves, and tie about the low waist line a two tone ribbon. Then let one of the ends of this sash dip en the fleer and you have something for the country club dance. Shet ten the ends of the sash or re move It altogether and your crepe de chine1 frock with Its long sleeves and elliptical neck linn Is perfectly geed for the country club bridge luncheon. New, Isn't this true? Isn't the sash Just llkn the nccotnmeaatlng Aunt Louisa right en hand when you want It and self effacing ns a violet when the need for It has vanished'' Perhaps the most decorative of nil the sashen arc the girdles made of silver or delicate toned ribbon, which nre strewn With such dainty blooms ns mnr mnr guerltcs and rosebuds and ferget-me-nets, and worn by the young girl en her putty frock uf tulle. This Isn't alt. The sash for the ether kinds of costumes is new sustaining the same duties as does thn chlnt cur tain In the gray walled toeni. It lightens up these somber daytime frocks which we urc new arfccllng. rrertlNNK LOU'I'3.
