10 NEED OF GLOVES.

rv,,a advance models in parasols were
beautiful, but those that IolloW l heHl
are much handsOmer. In untrlmiIlSu
1)arasols stripes and polka dots are the
newest The polka dot parasols are
very expensive, therefore, rare; the uOts
are embroidered upon the silk ana arr
alike on both sides which accounts TOT
their expensiveness. -
one of the handsomest models IS q
white taffeta: around the edge is a STRIP
of black taffeta, four inches wide, Dralu-
ed in white and edged on both SIDES
with tiny quilting of black chiffon \
four inch f1ounce of white cnlHon eI r.
with a black quilting finishes IL ne
parasol is silk lined which makes 1t as
pretty inside as out.
Insertion is also popular;severaI rows
of fine white lace insertion set INTO
colored parasol produces a very pretty
effect. Another novelty is represented
by hand embroidered parasois
A parasOl which is odd as Wen a.
pretty is of violet silk, overlaid with
black lace and finished at the edge Win
a simple quilting of black chiffon.
Another feature of this seasons para
sol is the detachable handle, which
makes it an easy matter to pack them;
thus the summer girl is saved great
deal of inconvenience with her innum-
cradle parasols and umbrellas.
New Ideas in Gloves.
A few years ago it was considered
great act Of improperly for woman
to go without gloves, even in the sum
mer time, but the rigidity Of this Gus
tom has gradually relaxed until today
it is an almost universal habit to go
handed in summer time. OF course
great care has to be taken in order to
keep the hands white when gloves are
not worn, and it is certainly not at all
attractive to see fluffy evening gowns
with rough brown hands. and a streak
of white wrist above.
The woman who makes a martyr of
herself and clings to her gloves viii
find some novelties in the stores. The
wash suede is the latest; it is twO-clasp
and comes in castor shades and grays.
1t looks like the ordinary undressed kid
glove and Is warranted to wash like the
chamois skin glove, once so popular.
Another novelty is the suede Isle,
which is also warranted to wash; it has
three clasps and comes in all colors.
Silk gloves for misses and children
will be much worn this coming sum
mer.
