THE NEW SASH.

LATEST PARISIAN ACCESSORY. Another last-word Parisian accessory is the sash. Not to bn visualised, please note, as belonging to the smaltgirl category! The grown-up version is tlm essence of sophistication and complicated arrangement. It starts shoulder-high at the. hack of a gown, emulates Hie aviator looping the loop several times over, then descends in picturesque confusion flonrwards.

Lace is a favourite medium for the sash, especially in black, to lend dignity to one of tlie increasingly popular on fe-au-lail lace gowns 'worn over fiesii-celoured georgette.

Following the “black trimming” vogue, the cobwebby black dentelle is draped from the left shoulder, looped in at tlie liip, looped yet again and caught at Ihe centre hack or the waistline, and then performs one more convolution, to be lightly imprisoned on the right hip, whence it fades away, as it were, into nothingness, after sinking serpentinelv for a yard or so over the floor surface. Most attractive, too, are the loveliest and daintiest of scarves in ttie fragile tulle of yesteryear, in charming lace or ethereal chiffon. Accentuating their fairy-like quality is Hie posy that catches the scarf on hip or shoulder. Roth in the all-essential matter of “helping" a colour scheme or softening the outline of a rather severely simple gown, the scarf is a very prosent help in the feminine wardrobe of to-day.
