very handsome they are as well as
practical. In the natural colored ma.
terial they can be- used with a great
number OF costumes and 1t Is In tho
natural color that they are most oft
en- seen. Border effects. too, are sin.
Eu1arly satisfactory In combination
and there are both lined and 5unlinei
sorts offered. SO that there is ample
opportunity for choice and great
many things are provided for in the
one material.
fhere are great many contrast
ing border effects and many of them
are exceedingly beautiful, but there
are also tucked borders. and the plain
coaching Darasol is always in order
for general use. For the carriage the
simple sunshade of lace over what silk
with the hinged handle will be ex.
ceedingly used and no doubt its very
general revival is in part due to the
neds OF the motor car. for It shades
the eyes without becoming the toy for
the wind and It really provides all the
protection that Is needed while it's
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 the street. For lingerie
costumes and those to which lingerie
styles nre suited, there are a whole
host OF exquisite things in linen that
are embroidered and lace trimmed anil

ing MS well can be. ss ~ I
White silk pnrasols will be seen
both in the plain varieties and those
that are painted or printed in love

that have Dresden designs upon them.
and lace insets that perfectly tit the
sections as though they were made
for them. Many of the new parnsols
are OF light colored silks with tucked
and bordered edges. which will be
used at the seaside and summer re-
sorts.
Among this host of sunshades were
number Of dark green's. 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 fnvorite style seems to be n group
OF three tucks with n border above OH
the darker colored paraso1s.
Painting Is always fnvorite mode
OF decoration. but to be satisfactory it
must be done very well. Great trail

&, Embroidery is another feature Of
decoration that is ms much liked Tor
parasols and sunshades ms It is for
gowns and dress accessories. There
are beautifully embroidered Japanese
styles and all sorts of enlbrotderins
are used MS we'll rs the introduction
OF laces and woven insets.
or course. there Is the lace and chit-
ION parasols. which Is used for very
dressy functions and for carriage use.
In contrast with these are those OF i,

they are quite the fad. while few

but there are to be noticed some ex-
IRENE effects In the carvings, such as
birds heads. swans necks and the
heads OF animals but after all the
simple. plain finished knob handle IS
liked best by women Of good taste.
For tho more elaborate parasols OF
lace. embroidered borders. painted or
printed effects. long handles OF deli.
cate'y tinted wood that resembles
enamel, topped with gold or gold
inset with Jewel at the end. are
much favored. Some handles are
shown OF bone with fine carvings up.
