PARIS, June 20, 1903
Fashions in parasols and hatpins deserve
columns to themselves. The smartest en-
tout-cas covers show huge spots and gradu-
ated stripes of satin on plain GROUNDS.
Green and white is a popular mixture, ana
navy and scarlet are also in vogue Inc
handles of some of the parasols are beauu-
fully jeweled either in the form of Initials
or queer beasts, while others have lovely
old enamel tops. parasol handle makes
charming wedding gift. Some of the more
simple ones are of ivory In the shape OF
flowers.
Take the parasol of the moment. How
extremely attractive 1t is, with Its ridlcu-
lousy long handle la pompadour. very
often incrusted with rare gems. and Its
shade of chene silk inserted with medal
lions of lace and jeweled trimming. Inc
simplest parasol of all, which promises to
have the greatest share of popularity this
season, has plain silk cover, with rows OF
ribbon woven in black. for preference, on
light ground In graduated widths. ana
long plain, colored handle. This should
perhaps be called the en-tout-cas or the
moment: 1t Is certainly very useful.
Then many of the hatpins are really COST

pieces of mother of pearl studded with two
or three colored stones. The ordinary hat
pin of utility Is seldom worn by the ele-
gante mondane. who loves to show her ex-
elusive taste in possessing unique acces-

One Of the happiest ideas in this sum-

Indian tuSsore silk; ii seems indeed, as II
at last we have arrived at the perfect dust
coat and not only the most practical, but
the most fit looking and elegant. l saw
recently tussore dust and race coat, full
length and charmingly designed, ana was
delighted with it. 1t looked practical. ele-
CANT and picturesque. And while talking
of these l might remark on lovely PARK
driving coat of Shangtung tussore SIX
(the coarser species) that had unique and
lovely embroideries of gobeiin blue and
green and gold. 1 think this coat might
serve for evening wear as well. L would
mention another particularly good coat, a
three-quarter coat of sun ray plated volle
trimmed with real Cluny lace, which can
be had in black and in cream color and III
gray and few pastel shades. There Is a
coat of palest gray face cloth with the
picturesque cape effect pretty white SILK
cord ornaments finishing the fronts and
back. Another coat of real braid guipure
is daintily frilled with white chiffon and
applied fiorally with panne and silk. This
coat, like the other. would serve for either
day or evening wear.
A Pretty Bunch.
Now to tell you of some charming frocks

cheaper make of muslin. 1t is in painted
