asol has fluffy ruff1es of chiffon about
the edge and stalks of purple flags in
natural colors for decoration painted
on the panels.
Extremely attractive is white sun
shade composed of tiny fiat ruttles of
silk buttonholed in points. The handle
is Of white wood ornamented with a
chic bow of silver gauze ribbon.
A plain pongee sunshade may be
brought up to date by having an Eng
lish eyelet embroidery pattern stamped
on it and worked by the owner.
A new adaptation of broderie an
glaise is a single row of eyelet holes
edged with pointed scallops, the whole
narrow edging shaped in crescents that
join by their tips. This trimming is
used for outlining Jokes and ruft1es.
Collar and cuff sets are fascinating
and grow deeper and more elaborate
each day. Blind and openwork en-
broidery, light and heavy laces all play
prominent parts in their making. In
some Of the prettiest sets bits of Japa-
nese drawn work is introduced.
The dainty parasol illustrated is Of
white taffeta silk. The edge is elabo
rately frilled with chiffon, and four mo-
ttfs Of black lace are appliqued on the
sunshade with good effect.
