Change in General De.Isn.

Change in General DesiEn.
The serviCeable Ell-round psrssol Is, as
it has been for seasons past. or the coach l
Ing order but has undergone certain Z
changes that mark the season as clearly !
and definitely a. the cut Of the skirt. The
newest designs include = wide range Of
color. but are made OF rain proof silk with !
steel end aud big club-like handles with I
anything but slender points. The color and
the nature Of the wood varies. There are
seen handles that have been cut square
and III ped with gold or silver and handles
;ha, are gnarles cough or smooth as nature
moulded the wood, but the general style is
always the same. The parasol is designed
for use. II serves not alone 10 protect
from the sun. but also from the occasional 1
light summer shower-water has no effect
upon it's beauty. No matter what the color
OF the silk 1t is rain proof, but in spite q
all these good qualities, il is FAR froIn
dainty and the big club handles are many
OF them difficult 10 carry. The steel rod
allows Of close rolling and Is light In
weight which a,e Grdoubted advantages, /
but many OF the handles while handsome. I
must mean stained. Il not broken. gloves
Moderation in their selection, ss il The
graver Affairs Of life. makes an excellent
motto. Be warned IN time and do not al
low the element Of novelty and style 10
warp your judgment. Club STYLES OF
reasonable thickness are to be found ana
make by far the best and most profitable
investment OF all Extremes are for the
few who can anord 10 throw them aside
with her passing Whim. These over big
handles are 10 be looked upon RskRnce Ly
that prudent majority who. by a choice
well made must abide by IL the season
through. Charming ones thar are not so
large a. 10 test The capacity OF the average
vomaus hand. yet are eninently fashions
ble are 10 be found and deserve special
/ consideration. Other severe styles are
more absolutely new and scarcely less
durable or serviceabie. A feature is wash
silk in narrow stripes Of quiet tones that
can scarcely be Classed as Colors, which Is
chsrminEly cool N appearance is not
| harmed by rain and withal modest in price.
! Another favorite for morning use Is pongee,
| but this last is lined TO give a good color

! appropr late for a great variety OF gowns,
| cannot honestly be said 20 serve as a pro-
| lection from showers as the rain proof
tafetas and the wash silks unquestionabiy
! DO. The poIgte having no definite color
! harmoLizes with many things, however
and. lined with white. is both simple
enough for the morning gown OF duck and
| dainty enough for the afternoon frock Of
| muslin. which consideration goes far 10
! outweigh that OF availability for use an
umbrella. The wash silks are necessarily
/ Of the better heavier sorts and can be

No Limit 10 Variation.
More elaborate ana delicate designs are
/ far more varied and aGord almost limit
| less opportunity. The simpler sorts are
plain a. the edge. but are either tucked over
/ their entire surface. include a border OF
| tueks or are trimmed with black velvet
ribbon or lace. A very pretty model in
J pink IS uplined and quite plain except fm
I a deep border Of narrow black velvet rib
} bon that is put on in a succession Of deep
I points that are arranged in e somewhat
/ intricate design. Another is Of white silk
with the velvet in a lattice design and is
1 both charming and serviceable, as IL can
/ be carried with many gowns. Entire deux

/ often seen. but the introduction OF white
or black Insertion through the meshes OF
| which the color a. the lining Is seen, is an
1 addition 10 the more elaborate sort that
thoroughly deserves its popularity. A
model designed for half mourning is OF
