 Either printed mousseiine de soie or point d'esprit lends itself very well to | this treatment, and is a novelty of this season, especially as regard parasols. Either the faint empire designs or the | affective pompadour patterns may be chosen. Printed point desprit and bobbinets cost anywhere from 9S cents upward, in the double folds. 1 Chiffon can be bought as low as 39 cents a yard in the 42-inch width. but it has not the rich appearance or stay ] ing quality of the goods that sell at 70 cents and 9S cents. though it might 1 answer for a temporary affair, as these l covers can be made quickly. In fact, ] one has only to spread the parasol, l take a tape measure to find out it's 1 greatest circumference, allow any where from a quarter to half yard for 1 "fulling," and then cut out complete circle, so that there shall be no seam 1 anywhere.

 then the ruffie may be doubled and simply gathered at the top by turning in the raw edges.
 A still easier way of making plain parasol "swell'' and stylish is to cut the chiffon on the bias in two-inch bands fold neatly and shirr with a
 double row of gathering to make
 ''boutonnierep ruchings, which require
 only to be sewed on in. consecutive rows starting from the top, the big ruffle or plating at the edge being
 optional, as many of the imported parasols show only the tiny ruching as
 finish.
 If however, something rather more
 elaborate be desired, make the circle
 still more generous than the limits in-
 dicated, and "honeycomb' it to the
 depth os seven or eight inches at the
 top and make tiny ruchings with which
 to cover the ribs inside so that when il
 is opened one looks up into a flower oi filmy pink, blue, white or violet Many
 os .he newest parasols also have this \ laround the inside in horizontal rows
 A choux slipped half way up the sticks adds decidedly to the French air.
