S~unbonnets are immensely popular.
One reason IN that they give summer girls
an opportunity Of looking Is bewitching

| Japanese parasols are a fad with women
who motor. Among their advantages is
the fact that they shed the dust and are
40 cheap that they can be replaced any
number Of times during the summer. A
yet they look strange enough in the city
10 attract the attention OF pedestrians, and
a big touring car with "A bunch of women
in il carrying Japanese p~arasols is bound
to make people stop and look.
Now Ia the time to buy hats for next
summer. for the smart shops which are
always a season in advance are selling
of their stock regardless Of cost. A hat
bought now in one of these places will
do duty next season. For s. one can OBJ
tain a Paris hat that cost t45 at the be-
ginning OF the season. Then there are
several smart shops which dispose OF their
stock OF garments in the same way and
for similar SUNNI. There are many women
who do all their summer shopping now,
and though their clothes do not cost them
Fifth avenue prices yet they always look
like fashion plates. II is IA trick worth
knowing.
Among fashionable animal pets are
chimpan2ees, lambs and Teddy bears.
Down at Southampton beautiful woolly

NOVELTIES IN METAL WORK.

The metal workers have been busy OF
late and have produced q lot Of novelties
more or less useful. One is a silver card
case.
II is about the size Of a large visiting
card. On one side a jewelled button slides
up and down. pushing one card at q time
through the opening at the end. All you
rave TO do is TO put in as many cards as
you think you will need for the afternoon
rounds and shuttle them ont n at a time.
Then there are new vanity boxes. card
cases for men and women and cigarette
cases made Of dull gray chased or etched
silver with a sort Of envelope fastening.

The theory that one cannot have too
many tea table conveniences has stimuli

shape Of a lobster claw about four inches
long. The smaller part OF the claw works
on a spring. so that the tips will pick up a
lump Of sugar very easily.

there is a new ~percolator in Inc form OF a
