 A unique but smart hat in the low, flat shape is made of black and white horsehair braid shaped in small rosettes. There is a twist of black velvet running in and out between the odd rosettes, and at the left side toward the front, broad bow of the velvet ribbon follows the edge of the brim, which is slightly fared and against which rosettes of the velvet rest. The hat combines good style and utility, and may be worn with variety of costumes. A youthful blonde will appear to good advantage in hat of this type.
 The parasols this summer are fasci- hating and carry out in their decora- ton many of the ideas introduced in the smartest gowns. Appliques of lace are more in evidence than fluffy frills of chiffon and transparent eff fects are very modish. Hand em- broidery and cut-out designs of vel- vet are included in the ornamenta- ton of these essentially feminine conceits. The handles in many in- stances are works of art, and vary greatly in length and design. An in- teresting feature of the new parasols is that they are apt to be suitable for almost every occasion, the decora- tions being less fluffy though rich. in effect.
 A black moire silk parasol trimmed with three rows of cream guipure ap- plique, with the handle of gunsmetal, is unusually smart, while another ex- ample is of white crepe de chine, with appliques of fine black lace in deli cate feather design. The tiniest ot black paillettes glisten over the lace incrustations, and the white enam- eled handle is finished at the top with a graceful feather of carved ebony.
 Two-toned parasols are quite the newest fancy, an example of rare att tractiveness, having the top of black and white striped silk and the lower part of tucked red silk. sPongee para sols are also stylish. A novelty for the golf lover is the parasol made of red taffeta with border of green panne.
 Hats, neck ruffles and parasols to match are in order for the up-to-date woman. EE
 The new, yet old, mode of arrang- ing the hair low on the neck is grad ually gaining favor, especially among young women. First there is the soft puff all around the head, the knot little below the center of the back of the head, and the little bunch of curls which fall from the center of mot. In most instances, no doubt, the curls will be purchased and pinned in, so the fashion is good one for the hair dealers.
 White kid and biste gloves which wash like a rag are one of the com forts in summer attire, and with these we have the incest, most shape " silk gloves, which are durable, 1f not cheap.
 Unlined stocks are very much fa- vored this season. and the stiff linen collars and choxers seem to have dis appeared altogether, particularly from the thin waists. Many pretty thin stocks are made of chiffon striped around with rows of satin or velvet ribbon. White ribbon with 8 row of narrow gold braid sewn on one edge is very effective, and little bands of silk feather bones caught underneath hold the collar in place.
 The most fascinating nightgowns are either in the empire or the bolero form The bolero is in exquisite hand embroidery or lace, or it may be made of alterante runs of embroid- sred insertion and lace. These gowns are trimmed at the hem with lace
 dged frills, and are really sufficient sress for neglige wrapper.
