on thu utility order. are certainly not
useful in the accepted sense, because
they become easily soiled and require

Taylor, the psrasoi is white lined with
pink. A pink parasol lined with white,

white parasoli ID more delicate.
For Afternoon, lovely organdies or
lawns made over silk Innings that con-
trast or harponize in color, are very
effective and here especially are asshes
in favor, though such accessories are

materials. The greater number by far,
are finished with ruflles at the lower
edge or again the entire skirt may be
a mass of RULES extending from waist
to hem, and trimmed with baby ribbon
or lace. but where ruffies are seen to
such an exttnt, the material is nlain,
since otherwise the pattern OF the
material wauld be lost. Exquisite
shadiDgs arealso obtained by means OF
insertion through which the lining

White lawns or organdies also play
large part ami though generally finished
with white hoe, have special prestige
when combiued with black.

finish, rows of satin ribbon are almost

Gowns of tatfeta silk of course are
