New York, April 30.--In "the goo,
old summer time" which is nov
rapidly approaching, milady Of fash
Ion will need a new stock of parasol
to protect her delicate complexion
from the torrld rays OF Old Sol. Tit
New York shop keeper has had thii
idea In mind for some time, and the
result Is one OF the most elaborate
displays OF sunshades that have evel
been shown in this city. AS In tho
past, the woman who desires to be "lr
style" will have a parasol to match
every dress.
The dlstnctlvely new feature in
parasols Is the use of pongee, and very
handsome they are as well as practl-
cal In the natural colored material
they can be used with a great num-
Der OF costumes and 1t is in the natur-
al color that they are most often seen.
Border effects, too, are slngularly sat
isfactory In combination and there are
both lined and unlined sorts offered,
so that there is ample opportunity for
choice and a great many things are
provided for in the one material.
There are a great many contrast
Ing border effects and many Of them
are exceedingly beautiful, but there
are also tucked borders, and the plain
coaching parasol is always in order
for general use. For the carriage the
simple sunshade of lace over white
silk with the hinged handle will be
exceedingly used and no doubt It's very
general revival is in art due to the
needs of the motor car, for II shades
the eyes without becoming the toy for
the wind and It really provides all the
protection that is needed while its
form Is such that 1t is easily adjusted.
But no one style OF parasol can be
said to prevail for the carriage any
more than for street For lingerie
costumes and those to which lingerie
styles are suited. there as whole
host OF exquisite things I'm linen that
are embroidered and lace trimmed and
that are just as dainty and fascinating |
as well can be.
White silk parasols will be seen both |
In the plain varieties and those that |
are painted or printed In lovely floral
designs. There are those that have /
Dresden designs upon them. and lace
insets that perfectly fit the sections
as though they were made for them.
Many Of the new parasols are Of light
colored silks with tucked and border
ed edges, which will be used at the
seaside anr summer resorts.
Among this host Of sunshades were
a number Of dark greens, some OF
brown ard ecru ana even navy blue
with printed borders. and some that
looked as though they were cut from
very wide ribbon with fancy borders.
A favorite style seems to be a group
Of three tucks with a border above on
The darker colored parasols.
Painting is always a favorlte mode
)f decoration. but to be satisfactory II {
must be done very well. Great trail I
ng branches of roses, wistarla. a {
oose bunch Of violets or a number Of I
ilacs, as though strewn across the
sections, are much liked as designs.
Embroidery is another feature OF
decoration that is as much liked for \
and sunshades as 1t is for
towns and dress accessories There
re beautifully embroidered Japanee
tyles and all sorts OF embroideries
re used as well as the Introduction
4 laces and woven insets.
OF course, there Is the lace and chif- ID
on .parasols which are used for very
ressy functions and for carriage use. Il
n contrast with these are those OF U
retone and 1t is said in Paris that II
hey are quite the fad, while a few
