trimmings of Valenciennes lace and
French embroidery.
The embroidery on the lingerie para
soils is done in mercerized cotton floss
whether one uses the openwork designs
or the solid patterns. 1t is far easier to
work on material of this kind than on
silk, so that if one intends to decorate
several parasols it would be well to be-
gin with one of lingerie. Very little
protection is afforded by a white para
sol so covered with openwork embroi-
derry that the sunshine may fall
through thousand apertures. 1t is
better, therefore, to have in these, as in
the white silk, thin silk lining, which
may be white or any shade preferred.
Some Innings, by the way, are almost as
much puffed, tucked and ruffed as the
outer covering.
The pre-eminence OF embroidery has
somewhat crowded out that one time
popular form of decoration, nand paint
ing On some of the fine parasols. how
ever, this is still seen. Unless it is we'll
done it is so much of an offence that
only an artists work should be toler-
ated, and that is, of course, exceed
ingly costly.
As to the sticks and handles, the
variety is equal to that of the cover
ings OF parasols. With the lingerie par
asol some form of wood is correct for
the handle. For the silk and chiffon
sunshades ones fancy may have as
free range as the pocket will permit
Jade handles are very beautiful and
are in keeping with the rage for that
kind OF decoration.

can be worn either day or evening with
the addition of a guimpe.
The linen travelling gown of today is a
most attractive costume. To begin
with, there are no end of charming
colors and shades of color that are in
style, and the different models in which
they are made up make it almost a
crime to choose anything unbecoming.
There are blues, mauves, grays, tans,
etc, as we'll as many mixed designs
that look well made up in the pleated
skirt that fits close about the hips and
then flares becomingly around the foot.
There are long fitted coats and loose

ming border is perhaps the safest form
of decoration. If this is a success the
scattered sprays which practically
cover some of the sunshades may be
undertaken.
To use with tailor made linen gowns
there are heavy linen sunshades, EN-
broidered in conventional designs in the
English or eyelet style. From this to
the fiuffiest things Of lace and gauze
there are all gradations. Linen is by
far the most desirable material fol

Not only does it look we'll in the be-
ginning but it can be cleaned over and

at the start, but they are far more
perishable. However, as these are
transitory things at the best, one may
prefer to save the difference in their
cost and get few weeks pleasure out
