| the decoration. The rose stalks
have great thorns upon them and
are sadly realistic. A pretty woman
looked the other day, like that loveliest
OF all roses, the American Beauty. Her
gown seemed simplicity itself, but l
doubt it the mOdiste'S bill would have
carried out this idea. 1t was of white
muslin, with many pink rosebuds en-
cl- i-t f,,l1
shlrred at the top, and worn over a pale
pink silk; the bodice, also of the muslin,
was Directoire round waist, belted in
by white MORE girdle, so wide that the
erect OF two bodiceS was gained. The
bonnet was of straw lace and the flowers
IN front were wonderful pink roses,
while the strings that held the bonnet
IN place were of dark green velvet. A
great bunch of pink roses was laid on
the fair ones lap, and her parasol was
OF drawn pink net. The entire effect
was certainly rOse-colOred. and some
now the pretty woman looked as if she
might have been the original of pict-
ure in one of the old gift books, "a
Keepsake" perhaps, which our grand
mothers thought so fine.

Apropos of parasoIs, they are being
made very costly, and, as often hap
pens, they are now voted proper as bets
at races. Alas for the male who bets a
parasol and allows the fair winner to
choose it! He'd very much better find
buy what he thinks suits her general
style. A woman in a cheap frOck car
rying parasol the handle of which is
studded with turquoise simply makes
herself ridiculous; and yet that's quite
the sort of thing that one sees.
Our French cousins are APPROX
ing of antique handles, those that are
bits of old china being fancied, while a
fine enameled handle with a miniature
at the side is supposed to bring such
bliss as was never known. At the sea-
cidedly bad taste, and yet it is very GER
tain that lovely woman, liking to have
her own way, will carry one. As yet
only one specimen of that remarkable
combination of white muslin and SPAN
giles has been seen. Once looked upon
everybody will pray for their deliver
ance from it. 1t is true that France
gave it birth, but it must be remembered
that in France it is carried only by

toiletteS. Therefore, when only one
parasol is possible. it is wisest to think
for ones self and get that Standby-a
black lace one. This, like tan-colOred
gloves, will go with an1 gown. 1t is
never over and never under dress A
silver handle is good form, but if that is
found too expensive Que of natural
knotted wood may be chosen in its
place. Do not have ribbons OF cords
and tasselS tied on the handle-they are
not the mode and are too often indicative
of being bought at cheap shop and
stamping as undesirable parasoI that
otherwise might be very good form.
Economical girls who have parasolS left
over from last season, paraSOlS that are
perhaps little faded, but yet have good
handles and unbrOken silk, are cover
ing them with net, putting it on very
full and carefully fastening it about the
edges. 1t is troublesome piece of work
the big shops refuse to do it, but Occa-

1t should. Be wise, however, dear girl.
and take your own net, else you may
have to grieve upon having the COM
monest variety put upon it. This is not
economy, because dissatisfaction and
economy are only decided contrast
and not all agreeable combination.

The round necks, as they call the
bodices. cut out in English fashion to
show the throat, have become very pop-
ular and have made fashionable the
string of beads. With bodice neck |
lace is quite out of place, but string of
small beads fitting the breast closely |
are not only in harmony, but are usually |
very becoming. The beads may be pearl. |
silver or gold: pearl is only commended |
when the throat is very white: the |
silver and gold can be more generally |
chosen, but remember, do not have the |
beads large; they must be secondary to |
the throat and should not stand out like |
a thick ruff about it, nor should thew |
seem to make a pOStivn division line.
Real pearls are not as often seen as the
imitation ones CLOSED over with a LIQUID |
gained by crushing the imperfect pearls. |
These may be bought from $50 up, ac-
cording to their size and perfection.
But the string of pearls demands that |
which neither the gold nor silver ask |
for. And that is small diamond clasp. |
Without this they are considered worth |
less. And Just why nobody can explain.
