Quite the latest novelty in sunshades,
and which bids fair to become very
popular, is trimmed, beruffled and fur
beloved, not on the outside, but on the
inside.
The outer covering Is of dainty silk,
as heretofore, of some plain, delicate
shade. The lining is of chiffon, gath
cred, shirred or plated quite full onto
the ribs of the frame inside. Then the
business of interior decoration begins.
1t is a bewildering mass of ruchings OF
fine lace, Valenciennes or even Honi-
ton. sewed in diagonals or squares or
lines radiating from the centre.
In some instances the mid-ribs,
which fasten to the springs. are cano-
pied with wide lace. duchesse, or
creamy Alencon. The place where the
rib Joins the main frame is marked
with butterfly bows or narrow satin
ribbon.
A bewitching model was Of pale blue
| Persian silk. The parasol, when closed
shows only wide border of white roses
| figured in the silk. edged with a mar
row ruching Of white chiffon. But
when the plain little butterfly thing
opened its sheeny wings a bewilder-
ing array of wonders presented itself.
The puffed lining was of Liberty
chiffon in faint sky tint and starred
at every possible and impossible point
with white bows Of baby ribbon. At
the top near the centre of this airy
ceiling were strewn embroidered bees,
whole yellow swarm of them. A
bow of wide double faced satin ribbon
adorned the handle.
Another was done in pink and white,
and the bees became rosebuds. Still
another was of corn color. lined with
fine mesh of yellow chiffon. trans
versed at inch intervals with the ever
popular herringbone stitch in black
silk floss. The bow of ribbon was also
black.

new mode of parasol decoration is

In every bedroom there should be
small aicove cut off from the rest of
the room by screen or portiere, in
which the washstand or toilet table
should stand. No matter how dainty
the washstand may be, 1t should not
be in evidence. 1t is purely utilitarlan.
A grill and a pretty light portiere
with a Japanese design, corresponding
with the coloring of the room, is far
more attractive looking than a screen
for the purposes of concealment.

Light skirts.

The smart girl will seldom be seen
this summer wearing dark skirt ana
a light waist or blouse. That did very
well for last season, but this year to be
correctly gowned there should be no
such striking color contrast between
skirt and waist, says the Woman S
Home Companion. With a light waist
a light colored skirt should be worn
Even IL it is not so sensible and prac-
tical every girl who aims to be well
gowned should have a skirt OF fawn
color or light gray canvas or mohair
with separate waists.

she never keeps her pots and pans as
scrupulously clean and bright as a

THREE NEW CANAL TREA TIES
AGREEMENTS WITH COLOMBIA, MIC
ARAGUA AND COSTA RIGA SENT
TO THE SENATE.

Washington, May 15.-The negotiations be-
tween Secretary Hay and the ministers from
Colombia, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. looking TO
the requirement Of the necessary rights for the
construction by the United States Government
OF either the Panama the Nicaragua canal.
have at last been concluded and the Sec
retary OF State this afternoon sent 10 the
Senate three treaties covering the ground. The
treaty with Colombia was completed some weeks
ago. but has been held up in order that no sign
OF preference might be gathered from the laying
OF one before the Senate In advance OF the
others. The ministers from Nicaragua and Costa
Rica were at the State Department to-day. and
were able to announce that the last obstacles
had been removed. so that all three treaties
could be sent in at once.
The agreements were accompanied by letter
of transmittaI from Secretary Hay. who made
comments them. They are. it is said, at
the department engagements to enter into treaty
relations with the United States the basis
therein stated, after Congress shall have
lected route and the President shall have been
duly authorized. In the view of the depart
ment therefore. they are not, technically speak
ing treaties but in the view OF the other negOti-
atorS they practically conventions OF
treaty character and are so regarded by them.
The draft OF treaty agreement submit
ted by Mr.. COrea. the Nicaraguan Minister. to-
day, a revision OF a protocol drawn up by
Secretary Hay In February. This document
embodied the views OF a number of Senators
TO what concessions Nicaragua should make in
the canal matter. Ii was referred TO Mr.. COrea.
who thereupon pointed out to Secretary Hay
number of instances in which the provisions OF
the agreement clashed with the constitution OF
his country. Mr.. Hay modified the document
somewhat according to Mr.. Coreas suggestions,
and its tenor then communicated TO the
NiCaraguan Government, which in turn made
several more alterations, and then empowered
the minister 10 present the document in its
amended form to the State Department.
The Nicaraguan agreement provides for the
lease OF a strip OF land which shall be ten miles
wide while a canal is in course of construc-
ton. and afterward be shortened to six miles
The price stipulated Is S6.O1O.0O0. together with
an annuity OF SO. a nominal sum intended
merely to serve as d material reminder of Mica
ragua's sovereignty over the leased land. The
United States is empowered to use the civil po-
lice force to preserve peace and good order
within the belt. No provision, IL is said. is made
for Judicial administration over the canal belt

there are bonds that very real and very vital

and complete. No Papal auathema destroy
