most cobwebby parasols and shades that
Ever were. Some OF the coaching para
soils and those TO wear 10 the races and
also everywhere where particularly
dressy effect is aimed at are so fine as
10 seem like cObwebs drawn over lilies
in the nighttime, and when daylight
comes the mystic veil Is covered with
cleaning dewdrOpS. The sheer white
silk tissue is drawn sver the delicate
frame and bOrdered with tilmy ruiile,
while imitation diamonds carry out the
illusion.
There are others also Of tissue or
some other transparent white stuff, and
bordering the edges is a row OF rainbow
velvet, cut crOsSwiSe OF the piece, so
that il shades crosswise of the width.
Others have this band set down each
steel, which is pretty, and the pieces
are placed carefully so that the shading
comes exactly even. One style has the
parasol Of china Grape, with an insert
ing Of silk lace two inches wide, set in
two inches from the edge, and this was
finished by q very full ruiiie OF fine
white lace. All lace used on parasOls
is OF the lightest and fimiest descrip-
ton. The handles are long and white
aud beautifully Ornamented, or of cary
ed ivory Indeed. l cannot remember
seeing such delicate and rich parasOls
before.
For those who like them there are
plaid Surah parasOls, some with fringe
in colOrs to match those in the silk,
some with knife plated ruflles and
some plainly hemmed. The black rain
parasol is about the same, except the
handles. think, are rather longer than
have seen and very quaint, some OF
them even groteSQue, Ia design. One
had a horrld bulldogs head with the
..teath nntk-hot that think bulldog is
DO very horrid, but the carved (mis)-
representation Of him was.
But the summer girls? Oh, yes.
One / know will have'a pale lilac china
Blk dotted with great crystal beads,
and this will have a succession Of II
bias folds In clusters OF three 2-inch
ones and two vide ones on plain um-
brella skirt. The sleeves will be the
dropping puff, with a yoke of figured
silk in pale rose and green on white
ground. The lower portion OF the bod
ice will be draped so as to leave loose
nestlike arrangement. Her hair will
be dressed with one wicked little curl
right down in the middle Of her fore
head, and her hat corn cOl0red and
lilac Grape halo.
The other one will have "shOt" tai
fetas, peachblow red and apple green,
Around the bottom Of the skirt are to
be nine narrow fiat ribbons aud one
puff Of satin Of the same shade an inch
wide above the bands. This same style
will be carried out for collars and yoke,
which is Of white canton Grape. The
sleeves are "balloOn," with the fore
arm a succession Of shirrings. The
kwaist is surplice opening over the
NsVhite vest and fastening at the
Night side with a buckle and three
No9S. of the silk. The hat to
20 with this chip poke, with bronze
green plumes. and the "damozel" who
will wear this to strike envy into the
other summer girls heart will do, as
now she does, wear her hair in the
Quaintest little bowknot above the part
ing, which Is really quite TO one side.
The hats they will wear-theSe dainty
summer girls-are what the French call
''ravissante" and dozen other appre-
