diflferent combinations of color. There 

 was a general line of ribbons, chiffons, 

 corsage ties and pins. How the de- 

 mands of the trade have influenced rib-

 silk ribbon that originally was made in 

 half a dozen colors now is offered in 

 twenty-seven colors in the No. 150 

 width. E. J. Fancourt was in charge.

 lar line in Italian and Egyptian designs.
