1t seems odd TO talk of Directory parasols,
seeing that the article which goes by that
name borrows not one idea from the last
century. The parasoi OF the Directory was
not built to close aud was a most awkward
and inccnvenient thing to carry. Still
everything which is made, even to wells,
which were not worn under the Directory,
arrogates that name this season.
There is nothing more novel in the spring
parasol collection than the oddity with one
panel unlike the other seven. A notably
rich and elegant parasol is of cream silk,
covered with fiounces of Spanish lace. The
founces are quite wide and run about the
cover without interruption until they reach
the fatal panel. Here the continuity is
broken except that the bottom fiounces
edging the points, completes its allotted cir
Gle. The panel or side thus left vacant is
covered with silver spangled guaze, totally
different from the lace in texture and
draped from top to bottom instead of in a
horizontal circle.
Fringe and hand painting are features of
the new parasols. One beautiful specimen
calculated to make havoc in the hands of a
pretty girl is covered with creamy white
silk and edged with white silk fringe like
that on the old silk and cashmere shawls
now so fashionable, many inches in length,
so that the pretty girls eyes must twinkle
through the threads if they are to get any
twinkling accomplished. Oae very new
design i of black silk painted with large
struggling passion flowers. Jet beading and
embroidery is the further decoration,
which is put on in bands without regard to
what spray may be crossed, what posy par
italy hidden.

NEw YORK, MAY 4.-The silk parasol
flowers with the blossoms on the peach

comes the lace parasol. When the apple
trees bloom the geuze parasol spreads its
wings. A thing of checks aud stripes is
the first II has long natural wood ham

and on shopping excursions.
A thing of fiounces is the second, of
Aounces and ruffles. 1t has a white or col
ored foundation and Il medium length,
ebonized stick The shimmeriug film of a
dragon fy's wing, the elfin balloon of this
tie down, the dew spangled sheen OF a
spiders web, the floating fringe of fairY's
petticoat; such is the third, the really frou-
frou parasol of the season, thing of gauze,
with warp of sunbeams and woof Of day
break cloud, woven in the looms of air,
transparent, weightless, ethereal; with
dainty carved stick of ivory or some Ori-
out with exquisite tintings, very dream
of a parasol, for which is presented bill
that sets the ewes wide open, ranging from
s1O to 500, fragile charmer, destined to
droop its wings and close its delicate flower
with the first touch of damp or hint of com
ing rain,
The parasol has eight ribs this season. 1t
is larger than last summer. On an aver
age it has 20 to 24-lnch radius, though the
little egg-shape French parasol, with ra-
tIius of not more than IL inches is seen, In
shape it has altered radically. The Ameri-
can parasol, par ercettence, shaped like
sun umbrella and bearing to that less gor-
seous sister much the same relation as tnat
existing between the sweet pea and the
scentless blossom of the kitchen vegetable,
has had turned upon it the most frigid of
cold shoulders. The complex curve Of the
canopy top, meaning thereby the French
canopy, with its odd little dome or steeple
GROWING the roof, is the only thing in me
dunn to high-priced, but excepting few of
the highest priced parasols, admitted as
good form. a curious hip-roofed, round
shouldered curve is seen sometimes without
the CANOPY addition,
The morning news., 1889-05-09

One very noticeable thing about the new
parasols is the tendency to draw down the
cover and make the top rounder aud deeper.
Sometimes this is accomplished by a
change III the frame, sometimes the cover
itself has three or four plaits taken in it in
the middle of each panel, giving curious,
puckered appearance. Their is a good deal
of mischief lurking in the witching black
and white brGcade paraSols, but these are
less disastrous than those of gauze and rib
bOns intermingled Marrow white ribbons
and lengths OF black crepe lisse are fastened
at the top as if lot of children were about
to twine the Maypole. In the beginning the
ribbon and the crepe overlap showing only
narrow edges of either but as the canopy
widens and one approaches the bottom the
strips grow broader and at the points the
Gsse and the ribbon hang over in fringe.
The parasol of the season without a doubt
is gauze, dotted or tufted with chenille
knots or left plain. The gauze parasol has
a more deeply indented curve between the
ribs than appear in the lace or silk varieties.
1t is apt to be smaller. 1t takes from two to
four thicknesses of the airy fairy material
to make a properly fluffy specimen, for the
gauze parasol is transparent and admits no
lining. White, cream, sllvery gray, pink,
blue, vieux rose, brown, tan, and a host of
others colors lend their enchantment. A
black guaze parasol is shirred in three sets
Ol UuT66 TOWS Oh SUlTF1uK gong 10
each band. A silvered gauzs parasol is
shirred in thick rows about the top, the full
ness being laid in accordion fats below.
But most gauze and net parasols are not
shirred. The filmy stuff is laid on in loose
putfs such cover the wire frames of the
gauzy hats of the season. At the edge the
net is gathered in a full but narrow ruche
for finish, or else it is allowed to fall in a
wavy fiounce lifted by every breath Of air.
White gauze over a stick of white aud gold
enamel tied with white aud gold ribbons
makes wicked example.
The printed muslins showing pink and
blue figures on white ground are made
up into shirred parasols to wear with morn
ing gowns in the country and at the sea
shore White muslin is accordion plated and
gotten up likewise, sometimes with deep
founces embroidered in delicate colors.
Buttons are an odd parasol decoration.
Small silk covered black ones are set thickly
over half the surface of some of the fine
black silk specimens.
Lavendar ribbons are used on mourning
parasols.
PoinG lace in flower patterns is still the
choice of elegant women who can pay $75.
When the parasol handle is too long for
packing it is jointed like fishing rod.
young woman who wasn't afraid Of
thieves at the centennial has been walking
the streets with good many dollars in small
diamonds decorating her lace parasol.
Artificial flowers as parasol garnlture
have been seen in the shop windows but
not as yet on the promenades.
There are good parasols for 81. 9S in good
