Some exceedingly pretty para
soils are in white silk, with two rows
of bright silk embroidery; one row
near the edge and the other quite
near the top.
Very many neat parasols are
shown in black and white, in fine
checks and plaids. Black and white
stripes, which are more snowy are
much used. One pretty conceit i'm
the white and black parasols is the
scattering of n few large brocaded
flowers in delicate tints over them.
Pink and white, blue and white,
green and white and brown and tan
checks are all shown. Black or
blue silk parasOls have shaded vel
low satin plaids. some very rich
black silk covers have narrow red
satin stripes forming large squares,

There is a perfect rage for the

real gems set into them for ewes.
A decidedly practical idea in para
soils, designed to go with the linen

embroidered in dark brown or white.
And there are bright colored stripe

Blue, white, pink, and other dain-

grenadines are effectively trimmed
with ruches and ruffies of the dress
fabric edged with black lace. On

in design.
Considerable use is made of ma
chine-stitched bands of the costume
fabric on tailor suits of pique and
linen. These are arranged upon the
gown attert the manner of the bands
on cloth gowns, small white pearl
buttons being substituted for those
or gimp or bone. Gray or dark blue
linen suits are trimmed with inser-
ton bands of white embroidery,
sometimes dotted or striped with
cherry-red. Deep ecru allover trim
mlngs and bands are used on fawn-
colored Hollands and grass linens
IN the form of y0kes, guimpes, epau-

Delicate little gold chains, set
with pearls and diamonds, are be-

wrist. Each end is finished off with
hollow oval composed of small
precious stones. In the center of
each oval hangs small pendent
