THE RAINBOW COLORED SASH

Perhaps one of the prettiest schemes which have come to light so far where tho new modes are concerned is the rainbow sash. There is no longer any doubt (says a Home paper) that the sash will play as important a role in the realm of dress this season as it did last autumn, and not content with introducing it in one shade either to match or contrast with the gown, the dressmaker of to-day is determined that a two or even a threecolor scheme shall be the coming order. The colors are, however, as a rule of the most delicate description, and the pink and mauve, the tender blue and creamy yellow of the hyacinth, or the lovely tints seen in a hedge of flowering sweet peas are chosen in preference to the brighter and more definite shades to express this idea. In some cases the sash will be of soft satin in a pink or lilac tone, hemmed with a fold of blue or primrose satin, while in other cases two or three long ends of ninon or chiffon, each of which describes a different color, will be knotted together round the high waist line and fringed with little clusters of gathered silk houies, which repeat the shades alternatively with regular precision. With a hyacinth mauve gown the favorite colors chosen for the sash would be pink, amber, and blue, while in the case of the purple gown, which is fat from being ruled out of Court, a fuchsia-colored sash in red and purple, fringed with boules of aluminium or pewter tissue, makes a very effective addition.
