that are just as dainty and fascinat-
ing 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 and summer resorts.
Among this host of sunshades were
number of dark greens, some OF
brown and ecru and 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 group
of three tucks with border above on
the darker colored parasols.
Painting is always a favorite mode
of decoration. but to be satisfactory 1t
must be done very we'll. Great trail
ing branches of roses, wistria, a
loose bunch of violets or number Of
lilacs, as though strewn across the sec
lions, are much liked as designs.
Embroidery is another feature OF
decoration that is a much liked for
parasols and sunshades as 1t is for
gowns and dress accessories. There
are beautifully embroidered Japanese
styles and all sorts of embroideries
are used as well as the introduction
Of laces and woven insets.
OF course, there is the lace and
chiffon parasols, which is used for
very dressy functions and for carriage
use. In contrast with these are those
of cretonne and It said in Paris thai
they are quite the fad, while few
have been shown on this side of the
water, but a whole parasol of cretonnt
is not to many minds an artistic ef
