FARAsoLS.
The new paraaols are coming to us Ia the
gorgeous hues of Persia and "the far East"
The material used, In those shown us by Mr..
Syme, Was thick. soft foulard, and the col
ors were the richest that could be combined
In one design. Those exhibited Mt the Demo-
rest Pattern Agency were of heavy black
broeaded silk aud satin, lined In Pompadour
silk, and finished with Spanish lace and
fringe. The lining In these parasols, instead
of being over the ribs, concea.ng them. Is
placed directly on the silk. and ths gllded ribs
are exposed to view and made ornamental.
This arrangement adds very much to the ap
parent lightness and strength OF the parasol,
and relieves 1t of the heavy. bloated look that
has distinguished dress parasols, 10, these
many years.

place. | understand that these perfumes are
made here from French pomades, and are tx
tracted by freezing, a process which preeip-
tates the OIL the liquid containing the pure
perfume OF the tlORers separating perfectly
from the rest of the mass. 1t Is then com
bned with the spirits prepared for that pur-
pose. and compares most advantageously with
Lllhina extracts, which are much dearer.
The flowers from which these pomades are
made are grown by acres in France, where
labor and sunshine are cheap, and thirty
pounds OF each kind OF flower are required to
make one pound of the fragrant pomade The
oil ts passed thirty times over the flowers
until the odors are Thoroughly dlsengaged
from them and Incorporated into the oil.
After the final separation of oil and perfume
the oil Is manufactured into very delight

these Louisiana sWamps will not blossom
like Sharon. and some OF the idle hands that
are held out for nickels will not be gathering
