If other evidence than July suns hot

for them in the shops. Parasols now

planted SO many seeds of envy in the
hearts of the women who have looked
at them all spring in the shop windows
They are linen center-piecesl Some are
small. for carriage use, and the rest are
the size parasols usually are.
One particular parasol is just one OF
those common center-pieces that have
a large spray of embroidery on one side
and a small one on the other But the
parasol isn't common at all.
Another one is made from one OF
those beautiful Japanese linen center
pieces, embroidered in two shades OF
blue, The Japanese work is the best &c
use for parasols. because their embroid-
cry is alike on both sides.
