Chiffon Parasols.

The ordinary chiffon parasols are
Aounced in every conceivable pattern.
Often all flounces except the outer
one are applied in points or scallops,
the bizarre effect being further en-
hanced by the application of black
edglngs of lace or chiffon ruchings.
Some of the shades are fiounced and
then decorated with appliqued centre
pieces in lace or colors. The lace Gov
er over colors is popular with those
who can afford it, Provided the lace
is of good quality 1t looks quite well.
but the ordinary cheap limitations are
an abomination. All-over embroider-
les applied ON chiffon produce hand
some effects. A sunshade of chiffon
sprayed with embroidered poppies was
a handsome affair Scarlet and gold
is a fashionable combination for GER
tain dashing types. but it's general
popularity is waning. Red has too
great a suggestion of high tempera-
ture to be quite suitable for summer.
