charms of the newest p%arasOls as they
strike the hehOlder In the Paris shops.
The makers Of sunshades have certain
ly been busy during the dull and sun
less days of winter with their plans and
patterns for the pleasing Of femininity.
The everyday paraso1s. with dots and
checks, are attractively smart. Those
that are of plain silk with a wide hem

may be placed in the class Of the sim
pie elegance things, and, no. doubt,
women Of taste and refinement will pro-
fer them above. all others except when q
very dressy occasion, say a garden
party. calls for the carrying Of an elabor-
ate parasol. There are patasols that are
known as garden-party parasols. These
are of. very fine materials, and as ex-

Those with .appliqnes, of lace are
dainty enough to suggest a fairy queen.
One OF. the. MOST, beautiful Of, all the
handsomer paraAofs that hate been
shown me this season is Of white sill,
hand painted with lunches of purple
pansies. Around the edge there Il an
appliqued border Of lace. OF. course, the
idea of combining lace appliques and
painted flowers ON parasols Is one that ia
decidedly costly to carry out.
All the handles Of the parasols are
decorated. BESIDES the fact that there

The little spotted lawns have q very

over the tops of the sleeves. The velvet
ribbon forms straps over the shoulders

turn back with a wide cuff which is In

give a bit Of stiffness. Below the elbow
