Show Ribbonove!ties- fuT-Easterifts , .ill sltS 1 V NEARLY every ribbon novelty in neckwear, lingerie ribbons, corsage : decorations and other things, is frank-1 ly patterned after some flower, or J made to suggest flowers. Could anything any-thing be more appropriate for an Easter gift than these fadeless and changeless flower forms? To make them more attractive they are ail scented with delicate and lasting odors. A few of the new offerings are pictured pic-tured here. They are shown in the fine shops and department stores. The roses are marvels of faithful copies of the real blossom, and are rich and exquisite ex-quisite and made in any color or number num-ber of color-tones desired. Satin ribbon is used for them (and for open roses millinery centers), with foliage and sometimes buds. The foliage foli-age Is of the highest grade, often in velvet, the stems are "as natural ae life," of a rubber fiber. The roses are rather difficult to make and command a good price in the shops, ranging from a dollar to about three and a half each. Very small ribbon buds may be had much cheaper. There are many ribbon neck ornaments; orna-ments; two of the prettiest and least expensive, as well as the easiest to make, are shown here. They are loops and ends of narrow velvet ribbon rib-bon with tiny roses, or other flower forms, fastened on the ends. They come in all colors and range in price from 25 to 75 cents each. They are easy to make, and a bolt of ribbon ten yards in length will make two or three of them. The satin flowers are made of scraps of ribbon or silk folded and sewed into shape. JULIA BOTTOM LEY. |
