DRESS TRIMMING FADS
sUNsHADEs AND DRESSES ARE
MADE TO MATCH.

Dress Up.

Written for The Evening Star by Harriet Hawley.
OF all the seasons accessories-and 1t is
distinctly a season of extravaganza in
small things-nothing will prove more
tempting to the average woman than the
dainty array of parasols for any and all
occasions
There are parasols for the woman who
travels and the woman who stays at home;
parasols for the real summer girl who
loiters on beach or in mountain retreat;
parasols for suburbanites: parasofs for the
very rich, to whom real lace and hand
painting seem essential and parasols for
the woman of smaller purse who still revels
in the complete and harmonious costume.
Parasols there are. too, for the shirt
waist suit, which are prim, demure. neat;
just as circumspect as the others. but a
trf1e more elegant, and they are ready for
the church or calling costume. Rioting in
lace, applique and shirrings, they are ideal
for the garden party the summer we'd
ding. And in small patterns, but equally
dainty of manufacture, they come for the
wee maid whose dressing is a source of
constant, evervarying delight to her proud
mother.
All the fads in dress trimmings appear
in the new parasols. Taffeta is tucked
hemstitched or fagoted- Chiffon is shrred
and ruched. Satin is buried in appiioues
or delicateiy painted. To match the Ores

and ehoux, come parasols. each of whose
eight sections is woven in a design showing
flowers or fruits in graceful bouquets and
punches And the really remarkable fact
amid this riotous confusion of sunshades
is that, except in extreme cases and de-
signs, they are within the means of the
average woman who can afford to plan a
representative summer wardrobe.
Are All Complete
At all the up-to-date importing parlors.
summer costumes are shown complete To
gloves, hosiery and hat, and after making
the rounds of these attractive shops a wo-
man realizes that the parasol must be en-
suite.
For example, blue and white checked
shirt waist suit. trimmed with straps of
plain blue silk, stitched in white was shown
with rough white sailor, trimmed with
dark blue ruching ard stiff uuills and a
p2rasol that cleverly reproduced the effect

hidden by a dark blue ruching next to

white checked silk in the same size as the
check in the dress, and on the edge was a

stitched in white, TO match the stitching on
the straps of the gown.
A clever leading woman of reigning
musical comedy success planned her sum
mer costume for the stage or exactly these
lines, and the design is worthy of consid-
Grafton at the hands of women in private
life.
She wears a morning gown of heavy
white handkerchief linen, inset with linen
lace, outlined with linen floss. The jacket
matches the skirt and the blouse and half
sleeves are of fine lingerie flounces. show

Neapolitan Braid.
With this she wears a modified picture
hat of NeapoIitan braid cut down to lines
which barely suggest the short back sailor.
This is faced with stiff little lingerie
founees to match the undersleeves of the
blouse, but plated to make them bit more
severe. The top of the hat is trimmed with
rich cardinal red velvet ribbon, and tucked
under the left side of the brim, among the
white ruffles, are cherries, shading from
gr cen to rich cardinal red.
With this she carries parasol of white
taffeta, in each section of which is woven
an enticing bunch of cherries. The narrow
band of crimson taffeta, which edges the
parasoI, tones perfectly with the cherries
and noveau art cherries are apparently tied
carelessly to the light wood handle.
A more elaborate costume suite is
shown for afternoon wear, and is suitable
for the summer wedding or garden party.
The dress is in pink of the palest tint.

delicate oriental lace. A picture hat of
pink chiffon, draped with oriental lace and
caught with tiny pink buds and parasol

figure around the ferrule, give the finish
