Women who favor the soft silk or rib
bon scarfs with their sheer simmer
gowns will be glad to hear of French
device that dulls the rasping edge of the
stiff white foundation collar that is SO
thoroughly Indispensable. They run
along the upper edge, fat little roll of
white yeiseteen that is warranted "a
prevent the coiiafs leaving any DIS
agreeable brown scar in its wake.
The detachable yoke and fichu effects
are numerous and varied this summer.
One pretty model that added wonderful
grace to rather simple beige silk can
vas gown was made of the sheerest
deep cream batiste. 1t had a yoke
made of strips of the batiste scalloped
and edged with the narrowest black vel
vet ribbon and fiecked with French
knots of black hoss. Along the lower
edge there was draped n scarf of the
batiste that was knotted at the front
and caught down to the waist-band
with a gold buckle. From there the
ends hung loose To the bottom of the
skirt, They We're finished with three
frills of the batiste, edged with velvet
and tlecked with dots. Double frills
similarly ornamented edged the drar-
cry along the shoulders.
The parasol season is just at its ZEN
it'll here Special sales are being eX-
tensiyely advertised at all the shops
and they never fail to draw. Never be-
fore have the parasol counters offered
such a variety-a variety in shapes, in
material and price. The wash para
soils" this season are also particularly
attractive The lawn and Bingham COW
ers are befrilled, embroidered. lace
trimmed and attractive generally. The
best part about ii is that this attrac-
tiyeness is not diminished a whit when
the cover comes from the laundry all
crisp and stiff starched ready to be
slipped on again.
One of the most attractive of the
elaborate parasols reflects all the va
riegated shades found among the paler
Roman scarfs--pink, blue. deep cream,
mauye and an occasional touch of black.
1t is covered with narrow bias folds of
gauze repeating these shades. Pink de-
cidedly predominates and 1t serves too
as foundation for the folds giving
that becoming roseate hue to the whole
when the sun shifts down on it. The
handle is of ivory inlaid with bands of
blue, pink and black enamel.
Art nouveau" applied to parasols is
thoroughly effective. A great many
of the more expensive parasols have
their handles and covers too. decorated
with art nouveau designs. One of the
more novel parasols is covered with
white taffeta ganZe reiled in frills of
white chiffon. Along the lower part
there is broad space left frilless. This
is ornamented with a striking poppy
design carried out with tinsel applique
blossoms, some rejecting a warm yell
low gold and others a decided bronze.
The struggling centres are all worked
in heavy black chenille, Stems and
leaves are of varied shades of gold The
handle OF old ivory is covered with a
network of poppy stems worked out in
several shades of gold inlaid. SO many
of the more elaborate white narasols
have strands Of crystal beads peeping
out from among their frills, Their han
dies too are swathed in beads.
The midsummer hats are being eX-
hibited at all OF the modistes. Such raw
ishing ones have been designed for
lawn party rigs Hats that SAVIOR very
much of the voluminous picture hat
and yet not quite so ELUSIVE Not a
few of them are crownless and all OF
them are very much flower trimmed.
One pretty crowness garden hat has a
rather broad brim covered with folds Of
pale green tule. This is nearly eclipsed
by a trailing full bunch Of sweet pea
blossoms in all their delicate shades Of
mauve, pink and white. At the left
side of the hat, just under the brim,
there is stiff cravat bow Of black vel
vet ribbon. Both tulle and blossoms
scintillate with strass spangles.
