NEW PARAsoLS.
New parasols for spring and summer
are of medium size, with ribs eighteen
inches in length. There are only twelve
of these ribs, instead of sixteen, the
number used last year, and instead OF be-
ing gilded they are painted red, and are
placed outside the lining, where they are
displayed conspiciuously. The parasols
are not in canopy shape, yet are not
nearly 30 fiat as the japanese shapes
used last summer. The lining follows
the outside silk, and is between it and
the red ribs The novelty is to have a
wide border on the lining, some lmes
the lining is sewed on and some time it
is woven in. Changeable silks are
much used in Innings, especially i'll mix
lures of yellow and red that are called
sunset silks. Red silk Innings are, per-
haps, more used than any other color,
and the border may be a striped band or
else in cashmere colors and designs. A
ring is tied to the top of the parasol and
this is pushed down upon it when it is
closed TO hold it in place. A ball tassel
is also new ornament, which is tied to
the outside by string. Some have ro-
and again on the handle, and some very
fanciiul paasols have bunch of artif-
cial flowers fastenened on one gore.
GENTEEL SPELLING.
Extra genteel fashion writers appar-
emily have an idea that doubling the
final consonant and adding c TO Il title
adds extreme to the style. The fashion
books, which show some of the worst
writing in the world, are full of such alb
surd errors as Bretonne lace for Breton,
mule for Indian null, musselne for
muslin, culrasse for cuiras, and hun
dred similar lollies.
ROUND HATS.
Every woman can have a fashion of
her own IN millinery this spring; round
hats are wired as shaped to suit the face
and fancy. One of the most successful
shapes is a middle-sized hat faced with
flowers under the brlm and worn slant
wise on the head. with space cut out
for the chignon in the brim, concealed
by fall of beaded lace.
PRETTY TOILET.
A toilet designed for dancing DAYS
ahead is of folds upon folds of white
tulle, forming plain, Opaque, grape-hke
frills and putls, that look as if carved out
of tlexile marble, shot with small satin
beads and frings, giving a frosty sparkle
of delicious coolness. The ornaments
to be worn with this exquisite dress are
a necklace in one strand of India pearls
as large as peas, and pale PINK natural
roses.
