NEW YORK FASHIONS
ParasOls: OrnamentatiOns: New Han dies: Lingerie ParasOIs: Spring Hats.

The return of the small hat, which it has been definitely decided shall crown the modish head in the spring and summer of 1905 is responsible for the restoration of the parasol to it's former distinguished position in the line of accessories All the fashiona- ble trimming fads of the season ap- pear in the parasols, exquisite hand painting, rare designs in all kinds of hand embroidery. lace, chiffon and silk manipulated in the various ways known to the dressmaker's art, are em- ployed and linen and lawn with em- broidery in lingerie style, all serve in the development of the new sun shades.
 HANDLES AND TOPS.
 Novelties in handles and tops are abundant. One of the most striking is the Nitsuki handle with a chain and knob exactly like the pocket books of the same name. The chain is attached to the end of the handle of cactus wood or briar wood and the knob is of gun metal inlaid with silver; of chased gold or of smoked ivory in Japanese de sign. There are parasols with a hinge in the stick which can be folded like the suit case umbrella. Chiffon para sols will again have their innings and are very beautiful with futtering, hemstitched frills, tucks, shirrings, smocl<ings and pompadour ribbon or silk are sometimes combined with it in the most attractive numbers.
 THE HIGHEST NOTE OF ELE-
 CANOE
 Is reached in the parasols of real duchess or Irish crochet lace with carved ivory handles. Lingerie para sols are a distinct novelty. Irish lin en parasols are tucked all the way up with two inch tucks, the edges of which are hand-embroidered with a fancy scallOp; this idea, by the way, is repeated in taffeta and pongee, the embroidery worked in contrasting col or. Linen parasols with "broderie An glaise" have the distinction accorded to everything so decorated this season. White lawn parasols have tucks on the border, the rest of the top in all-over lawn embroidery, and these are lined with a pale tinted, thin, washable silk. Lingerie parasols are also developed with fine tucking insertions of Val. lace and frills of same in true lingerie style.
 SPRING HATS.
 From the contemplation of the par asol to that of the hat is an easy tran sitiOn and the subject is a fruitful one; for the hat is the only thing in the line of fashions that has experienced a radical change. Regarding shapes, the tricon, the envelope, the Napoleon, the toque, the turban and sailor are all in the field again but in reduced size and modified almost out of rec ognition. The polo cap is new and successful claimant for favor; and the Tam O'Shanter made of fine hair braid and very much raised at one side is a popular shape.
 BRAIDS, LACE AND MALINES.
 Hats are frequently made entirely of maline quillings. A tricon shape has the top covered with quilIings of ma lines in raspberry pink shading from light in the center to dark in the bor- der, the front of the upturned brim finished with inserted roses the same shades, and a mass of them at the back on the hair. Yodda braids. hair braids, Tuscan and Milan braids are all found in ombre effects of all the fashionable colors. Heavy Venetian or Irish crochet lace is employed for brims or crowns combined with folds of silk, chiffon or panne velvet and net laces of all kinds are used in drap- ing and trimming effects.
