On many of the lightest and daintiest
parasols are to be found handles of bog
wood. both carved and plain, and on the
darker ones will be seen exqusitely
wrought ivory handles. The old fashioned
carriage parasol of French or thread lace
is again very fashionable, and it Is quite
worth ones while to hunt around in the
treasure chest for anything it contains in
this line.
Extremely odd and pretty are the long
handles of jet and those of steel. Indeed
everything in the parasol kingdom is fasci-
natingly lovely this year.

Death or Beauty.
From the Hospital.

From the Hospital
The inquiry into the cause of death OF a
young girl who had managed to acquire
perforation of the stomach through eating
raw rice, with a view to improving her
complexion, shows that the cult of beauty
goes far beyond the region treated by Bond
street specialists. The lower down in the
social scale the practice of fighting with
unfriendly nature goes. the more unwise is
it likely to become. The high priests or
Bend street know something of the action
of the drugs they recommend and the oper-
atoms they employ, and as their clients
have for the most part some notion of by
giene, they are compelled to give the as
surance that their methods are not dan
ger Gus to health. Wigs and a masSaged
complexion may not give the look of youth
which those who adopt them imagine, but
at least they do not shorten life, and the
middle-aged woman who by their means
seeks to keep up her pristine charm does
so because life is still sweet. She may seek
beauty, but she will not risk her Life for II.
But the young girl-and especially the
young girl of the humber classes-who
seeks to improve her appearance, does not
consciously or unconsciously analyze the
matter so. She wants to look pretty now,
and hardly reckons on her future appear
ance. Below the middle classes mat:imcny
remains the aim and end of feminine being.
We all know how after marriage the smart
and pretty girls, who once outshone In
beauty the maids of a higher station, lapse
into plain and untidy slatterns. The con-
quest of lover once achieved there Is no
need for further effort. To girls who look
thus on life 1t Is a matter of course that
they should ape the style of beauty that Is
fashionable in their circle, regardless of its
ultimate effect on their health. If John OBJ
jec.s to a red face" Mary VIII eat any
thing or drink anything to change her rosy
complexion to a dyspeptic pallor. We know
CT one servant girl who was persuaded by
her mistress to stop drinking viresa- to
make herself pale by the assurance that
rosy cheeks were now the fashion. After
that Mary Jane daubed hers with rouge.

The day of the high hand shake Is past,
and a more graceful hand shake Is in
vogue. The hand is extended from the
waist line, but not too far; but, as one
authority expresses it, with a mere sug-
gestion of restraint" When the hands
meet there is a gentle movement to the RICH
side of the person who extends the greet

Could Have Waited.

From the New York Times.
A certain suburbanite was accustomed to
bring home some little remembrance for
his little girl, who always ran up to him
and put her hand in his pocket expectantly.
Once. however. he was delayed, and at
the last moment found that he could not
catch the express train that he always
took if he stopped to purchase anything.
When upon his arrival home his httie
daughter started to put her hand IN MS
pocket he shook his head
IT had to disappoint you tonight, dear,
he said and seeing her quiverfng lip he
went on:
..It was this way. At the last moment

tunes 1t is formed of appliqued medal
lions of lace sewed on the fabric over
contrasting color. These medallions are in
all shapes and sizes, in conventional square,
round or oval patterns, and used strips
and three cornered pieces. They are disposed
all over the dress or applied at the sweet
will of the modiste. 1t is very necessary
for the good effect that bright color be
used under the lace, particularly when a
thick variety is applied, otherwise no con-
trast between the gown material and the
underlying silk is obtained.
Buttons and Pipings.
Buttons are playing an important role

is to use on a frock an endless number
