THE AMAZING SASH.
The latest version of the sash, which has literally flown across the Channel from Paris to London, is no little-girl affair. Once the oniblem of simplicity, the sush has now taken on a very sophisticated and complicated
aspect.
Starting shoulder high at the back of a gown, it loops the loop several times, and then, as might be expected, falls to the ground in fluttering confusion.
One model, straight from the city that says the last word in chiffons, was entirely of lace.

THE INFLUENCE OF YOUTH. The craze for ultra-short skirts seems to be part of the general growing ambition to be dressed as youthfully and simply as possible. The only thing is, how far is it going? Unless it stops somewhere, and soon, our most modern elegantes will shortly be appearing in embroidery with pale blue. tie-ups, and a coral rattle dangling from the left wrist.

In distant woods, it was not

At last to far-off lands she went
But could not find that flower |

She searched through gardens |
full of blooms
Which almost looked us if
they'd been
Woven upon onchanted looms, So gay their buds of satin

She struggled to the mountain

Explored the valleys all around, And yet the flower she came
to cook,
Alas! was nowhere to be found. So after weary hours thus spent She sadly journeyed home once
