New ParaSoIS for
 the Summer Use
By (Mary AnnabelFenton)


 In spite of late snows in the North west. we have the promise of a very warm summer. and warm summer days means that girls win carry an endless variety of parasols.
 Not because parasols are a needed protection, hardly to a girl who goes bare-headed over a golf course through the hottest August days. but because paraSols are becoming, a last smart finish for warm weather gowns, and something pretty to carry, a graceful substitute for huff
 The shops are crowded with lovely new designs for all hours of the day. tailor-made parasols for morning. par asols plain in cut but r.ch in embroid- cry and painting. for coaching. for races, etc. and parasols elaborate with chiffon and lace. for driving.
 And of course there are parasols for all-round use. that are nice enough for church and plain enough for a trip 70 the markets and shops. Some women get along nicely with one para sol and consider two a luxury. and many an economical woman of taste makes her own parasols. using an old frame. and puffing and plating a covering out of some pretty. though perhaps not new. material she may have on hand
 O course the absolutely most prac- tical article of this description is the rain-parasol, or sun-umbrella that is really a colored small umbrella of gloria or taffeta or faille that will prove rain guard and vet light weight enough for a sunshiny day. They come in all colors. blue. green. red. violet, brown and black. and are carried as an umbrella would be with out regard to the custom.
 Next 10 the rain-parasol the most practical protection is the pongee sun shade. It is made rather large. is really intended to keep off the sun. is plain except for a hemstitched hem and possibly cluster of tucks and has bamboo or ash handle without the least bit of gold or silver furnishing. not even an initial.
 Almost as useful as the pongee para Sol to wear with many different dresses. are those of black-and-whit check and plaid taffeta. which are smart with black, or white. or gray. or scarlet, of dark blue gowns. They are tucked or plain with black false hens and the smartest have the new ebony hondles. with a bow of the checked silk or with a taffeta bow in colors, The handles are long- different shaped and usually carved
 These ebony handles are a great fad. even with white chiffon and lace parasols. The oldest. end in ani- mals' heads. owls. snakes. bull-ter- riers and parrots with brilliant jewels Tor eyes, but most of them are carved in outline and are neither elaborate nor expensive.
 The newest handles and the most expensive are probably the Japanese carved ivory. They are beautiful with a parasol of champagne chiffon. with enc of Egyptian gauge embroid- cred in colOrs. with silk grass linen With Persian stripes, and with stTawcolored silk batiste, em- h-"ide-oS with wheat design in silk md gold.
 ANCt1tAE III f1IaSOiS IS so new anu uniGue as the Madame Chrys- antheme.' cherry blossom creation. closely resembling the real paper Jap arose parasols. which it is proDhesied will be carried cn sunshiny days by some very original New York girls.
 The cherry blossom affair may be In snow-white pongee painted in cherry blossoms with a fringe of chif- ion cherry blossoms around the edge and lined with cherry blossom pink. r. has carved ivory handle. Or blue taffeta may be pained with branches Of cherry blossoms and splash of red sunrises and with a few birds darting out to the horizon, or rather the hem.
 The real Madame Chrysantheme" parasol is not lined but shows large bamboo ribs that project beyond the painted hem. and has painted wooden handle. It is a most affair intended only for use. and a hat is never worn when it is carried.
 The home made parasol turns out the prettiest of all All that is neces-
