The center of the parasol is sometimes

ionable com ination in parasols. Some
times flowers Of black lace are applied
upon the chiffon, and beneath the airy
lace flowers color-pink or green
is inserted, giving very rich and airy
effect. A full black lace over rufle
of chiffon hangs from the edge Of the
frame to flutter gracefully about the
dainty head that it will shadow. There
are parasols for every occasion-the
drive, the morning walk, the afternoon
promenade and the links. The auto
mobile parasols this season are OF
plain silk, in different shades, red or
purple being the most fashionable.
They are equipped with a wooden
handle Of medium length, not very
thick, and are of medium size, finished
with a ruching of white liberty silk.
The coaching parasol is made of plain
or shaded silk, and appears as hereto
fore, with a thick, short handle, which
may be either in light or ebonized
wood.
Very beautiful are the new parasol
handles from Paris. The wood is in
pastel tints and the handles are deco
rated in cut steel. Sometimes the ham
die is covered with black velvet, upon
which the ornamentation in cut steel
appears in effective contrast. Another
fashionable parasol handle is ball
entirely studded with rhinestones.

the entire gamut Of parasol invention,
from the frivolous and fluffy chiffon

but stylish sunshade Of plain silk. A
conspicuous novelty this springEis the
square parasol, covered with one of
the popular Persian pattern handker-
chiefs. These have bizarre effect, but
they are extremely stylish, and may be
carried with almost any costume. Silk
parasols scalloped around the edge and
trimmed with white silk braid are an
other novelty, and still others are
made Of bands of silk joined together
with open hemstitching. Satin para
soils, with velvet polka dots, are very
stylish. These have quite short, thick
natural wood handles. The spangled
parasol is another novelty, but it is a
little too pronounced and dazzling to
be popular, except with the woman
who has such a large assortment Of
sunshades that she can lay it aside as

Seldom have fashionable feet been
so ornately clad as this season. The
new hosiery is marvellous in its glory,
and a small fortune could readily pc

Of the shops. The most expensive
stockings, of course, are those OF SILK
Of the cobwebbiest texture, tine
enough almost to be passed through a
ring. Some Of these are exquisitely
embroidered. There are black SILK
stockings daintily powdered with tiny
flowers, like the forget-me-not, worked
In delicate hues. Other black stock
ings have a diamond pattern, bright
in color, woven UP the front. Upon
this lighter background of pale pink,
blue, green, violet or purple is embrold-
cred delicate tracery Of vines. A
pair of bright. yellow silk stockings
has a diamond pattern in black, pro-
ducing an essentially stylish effect, in
stockings of pale tint, the diamond
design is. always of the black, and
vide versa Some of the new black
silk stockings are cut out in the front,
to display long, narrow appliques OF
lace. Others have the holes worked
around with buttonhole stitch, and
underneath are set pieces Of gayly col
ored taffeta. The old style stocking
known as opera" top. that is, tinted
in some delicate color, the lower hall
dyed black, reappears in a modified
form. Instead of an abrupt line be-
