A MODERN NEED.
In the evening your frock must trail peacock-fashion 'beneath your wrap—for day wear this is not yet a dictate of fashion. Unless the coat matches the frock, the uneven line is rather an untidy-looking sight! Blit just as we’re all getting depressed about this along comes a solution, and a dainty one, 100. The answer is a ribbon girdle, prettily trimmed. You will require 4 0 inches of one and a half inch ribbon, and 1G inches of a thinner and narrower ribbon or silk for a lining, through which to insert a piece of elastic eleven inches long. Mark off IG inches from your 40inch length and run the lining length of ribbon on to it—just as if you were making a garter. Insert your clastic, and either join the two ends or finish with a fancy buckle. In gold tissue or black satin with vivid applique, it would look as charming as it would be useful.
