Can you tie the new chou?
Chou tying: is an" art, a fine art you
will say after you have tried it. It
requires practice, and you can profit
ably put in all your spare moments
for a week upon it.
When you see the girl behind the rib
bon counter toss a piece of ribbon in
to the air and bring: It back In the
form of a loop and when you notice
how she turns and twists, pulls and
manipulates it and how, with a final
yank, she draws it into a bow, you
will, perhaps, thinks that the whole
business is an easy one and that you
can go home and do likewise, writes
Augusta. Prescott in the Detroit Free
Press. But, when you come to the
actual tying- of the ribbon with your
own hands, you will find that it is not
quite so easy. Your chou will have an
"all but" look which characterizes so
many home productions, and when you
put it on you will feel as though It
were a blemish to your gown rather
than an ornament.
Now to tie a chou right, begin
right. Do not use old ribbon. If you
were to give the girl behind the rib
bon counter the old scraps out of your
ribbon box and were to tell her to
make a summer chou out of those old
pieces she would laugh at you and
explain to you how impossible it was
to bring anything fresh out of your old
ends.
Wrinkled ribbons of uncertain
lengths and still more uncertain hues,
faded sections of lace and odd bits
of flowers, queer looking passemen
teries and ragged Insertions will never
in the world become handsome just by
being made up into choux.
For the new London chou take two
yards of ribbon. If you want long
ends for the back of your sash take
more "if It "is for the "back of your"
neck two yards will be enough. If
you want it for your hair one and
one-half yards will do, and if it is
for your belt you can get along with
the same quantity.
HOW TO TIE IT.
Take the ribbon in the middle and
hold it up in front of you. Pull out
one nice long loop, twist the ribbon
and make a bow knot, just as you
have tied a bow all your life.
Do not pull it tightly, but,- while
the middle is open and loose, make
another bow by pulling- a loop of rib
bon through the knot, and still another.
You will have four bows. Grab
the two upper ones tightly, one in each
band, and pull. This will tighten your
knot.
Gradually arrange the loops, pulling
at the knot all the time and twisting
it, and keep on doing- this until you
have four nice bows with two hanging-
ends and a hard knot in the mid
dle holding- them all.
The secret of bow tying is this hard
knot in the middle. It ruins your ribbon
of course, and the ribbon can never be
used for anything- else. The bow can
not be untied, you will understand.
but must remain in just that fashion
forever, but if you hope for anything
that is smart looking you must pull
the ribbon hard and make this middle
knot tight.
To quote the girl behind the ribbon
counter, who is the professional bow
maker of the establishment and whose
busy fingers are at work from morn
till night, "The knot is the whole
thing; pull it tight," and you will un
derstand It after you have watched it
her a few minutes and have gone home
to tie a bow for yourself?
A woman who makes a business of
arranging the small things of dress
declares that she depends upon the
ribbon ornaments this year for the
summer touches of the costume.
Said she: "I buy ribbon by the bolt
and make It up by the bow. There are
as many bows as there are hands to
tie them, and I have personally de
signed thousands for the framing- of the
gowns that pass through my hands.
"One of my latest devices with rib-

bon is to cover buttons with It. I tie
a neat little bow, no bigger than a
quarter, and Into the knot I slip a but
ton in such a way that the shank can
be used. This makes a very neat or
nament and the bow looks brighter and
stays in place better than if it were
sewed on tight and flat."
Another way to use narrow'rlbbon is
through lace. You thread a blunt nee
dle with ribbon and you work lace with
it. You work the lace by going around
the pattern with ribbon, and so you
make a very durable trimming that is
a little different from applique and
much less work.
The dress of the late season threat
ened to become more ribbon trimmed
than that of the early year. There
is a new fancy for taking- a wide rib
bon and running it through the hat
brim just as though you were taking
long stitches. Five or six stitches of
the ribbon will go all the way around
the brim and the whole is tied at the
back In a bow. -with ends that hang
right down to the stock.
The stock is treated similarly and one
of the new arrangements shows rib
bon two inches wide threaded through
the stock perfectly flat and tied at the
back in a bow.
Nearly all of the new trimmings have
ribbons, either for a foundation or rib
bon in them: and it looks as though
autumn modes would be largely found
ed upon ribbon designs.
It is a pity that this material cannot
be made cheaper, for really there is
nothing much more expensive to buy
and to use than ribbon itself. Those
who are of an economical turn of mind
and who do not mind a little work, can
buy taffeta silk and make their ribbon.
A yard of taffeta, cut on the bias and
hemmed on each side, or doubled and
neatly finished, will really make a
great deal of ribbon. This is just a
suggestion for the woman who wants
to look nice and who does not want to
pay the price.
