At this time of year the we'll dressed
woman, having chosen her cotton
frocks, selects her parasols. Unlike
the English woman, the American
doesn't long for very big umbrella
with solid stem and an assertive
handle; but, like the French woman,
she realizes the value of her movable
background, and even as a protection
against rain her umbrella is feminine
in appearance, although absolutely
useful. The big parasol that protects
her from the sunbeams is a veritable
thing of beauty, with its deliberately
decorated handle, it's chic trimming
and its beautiful material. Silk in
specially dainty shades, decorated with
frillS, outlined with very narrow vel
vet ribbon, makes the preferred par
asol. But the handles, For them
nothing is too fine. Hand painted por-
celain, jade, amber, rock crystal, even
some of the minor gems, mounted in
chased gold or silver, all of these are
allowed to make beautiful that part
of the parasol which is held in the
hand Of beauty Oddities are, Of
course, much to the fore, and my dear
est friend, writing me from Paris, says:
THE ducks head, of which I have
drawn you a tiny sketch, is specially

the rabbits head, which is, however,
not nearly so chic. Another very

great wealth and much fashion. One
night this gentleman was boasting that
in this day of disrespect, in this day of
punning and jeering and jesting,no one

on his name, and in his stately way he
was thankful for it. The pleasant Eng
lishman had accepted an invitation to

was forced to stay at home. His
mother, a. charming lady over 80 years
old, was surprised to see her son, as
she had heard he was going out, and,
looking at him, she remarked in perfect
innocence of the wrong naming: "Oh,

were going to dine with Mr.. Boiled

stately gentleman OF the innocent pun
made on his name. but three or four

the plaid silk ones. 1t is absolutely
bad form, and certainly did not have
its birth either in France or England.
Paris would laugh at it's unsuitability;
England at the fact that it would not
wear well. To the red umbrella there
is not attached so much Indignation,
but, after all, the well dressed woman
prefers to carry in the storm an UNI
brella of dark green, dark blue or
black silk. The umbrellas having
watches or pencils concealed in their
handles are desirable as a caprice, but
certainly not for much wear. By the
bye, if you can only get one parasol,

chiffon or black muslin. If you can

it is very elaborate one. Few women
realize how becoming yellow parasol
