If you cannot afford to have everything new for your trousseau, don’t despair, for you can smarten up any oldish garment and give it distinction' by means of a few yards of ribbon. For a silk and wool dress and scarf, or a woollen jumper and scarf, all you need is sufficient Petersham ribbon to make a three-coloured tab to complete the neok-line of your frock and to border the ends of your scarf. Don’t forget to include the colour of lyour hat in your ribbon scheme, and to seam the ribbons together first. To add a note of distinction to your beret, buy one-quarter yard lengths of Petersham ribbon in three or four shades to match the stripes in your scarf, and attach the gay little tab to the top of your beret.
