The New Fashionable Parasols

| Among the newest parasols are some
of sheerest lace and chiffon unlined.
These are of course too evidently made
for ornament pure and simple and must
only be classed among the fads of the
season. Most attractive. too, are the
tiny parasols which, like the carriage
Eunshades of old, are intended only to be
held as a shield between the eyes and
the sun. These little parasols, built of
soft shirred chiffon, each rib covered
with bands of tiny ribbon rosebuds
wound around and around, seem to say
that they have given up all attempt at
covering the hat and are simply to be
held off at one side just beneath the
wide brim of the bonnet.
The sticks of these small parasols are
very long and are ornamented just at
the top with a pretty snood of ribbons or
cluster of artificial tiowers-forget-me-
nots lilies of the valley or rosebuds.
These clusters of delicate flowers fast
ened firmly "a few inches from the top
of the long straight handles are now
to be seen on many of the new summer
sunshades. Ribbon flowers, which are
now used in every detail of dress from
the hat to the slippers, make an extreme
ly pretty finish to the top of a parasol
stick. A small wreath of ribbon rose
buds in the centre of large satin bow
knot with a tiny sachet hidden in the
centre of the flowers can also be fast
ened to a long parasol stick.

aud mix it all into smooth paste to
spread on the buttered bread.
AS for the cake, any kind can be used,
but the soft layer cakes, although de-
licious, are not very practical for pack
ing. Other loaf cakes can be comfortably
managed, but the best of all are the
small single cakes. Crisp cookies are
especially good, and if one is lucky
enough to have a cook who does not
object to making some in hurry large
box of homemade cookies will make the
best possible finish for the luncheon. But
if this cannot be managed macaroons
and the small pound cakes from the
bakers will make a good substitute.
A most important part of the motor
luncheon is the liquid part. For this
the first question is-"Hot or cold?" 1t
| it is cool, windy day hot coffee or
chocolate is what should be taken. On
the other hand, if it is warm and sunny
the most refreshing thing possible Will
be cold lemonade or a fruit punch. Ii
you are going to make the latter do 1t
before you start anything else for the
luncheon and put it in the refrigerator.
Start the punch with a cupful OF tea
and into that put the juice of six lemons
and four oranges, two tablespoontuls

ably does not realize that IN many IN
stances they are evidences of Irregular
care and of reckless diet.
THE rule about brushing the teeth at
morning and night is good one, so tar as
it goes, but it does not go far enough,
she continued. For instance, it does not
state that a moderately soft brush having
split end bristles should be welded in a
vertical direction instead of transversely.
and that unless it is used thoroughly
particles left upon the teeth will decom-
pose and decay the enamel. 1t is not safe,
however, to rely wholly upon frequent
brushings. for the sediment which lodges
between the teeth can only be completely
removed with a soft, pliable brush. This
should be done at least once every twenty
four hours, and invariably directly after
brushing the teeth and rinsing the mouth
with soda water or milk of magnesia, in
order to sweeten the breath and to pre-
vent the formation of enamel DESTROYING

only the highest class of dental pow

from discoloration Consequently a few

The only resource of the confirmed soda
fountain devotee is to put a pinch of salt
on her tongue directly after swallowing a
cold beverage, as this will help to sweeten
the stomach and keep the teeth white.

Of handiwork crocheting is desirable; anu
nowadays so many things are crocheteu
tbot II is we'll worth while to become
an expert in this work. Bedspreads are

sorts. which have again become popular
But here, again, one is perhaps Vehturi1s

n ARASOLS this year are excep-
- tionally pretty, and while the lore or
less elaborate designs predominate 1t
is possible with little ingenuity to turn
a last years sunshade into one that is
most up to date OF the untrimmed par
asols lowered silks abound, but the
lighter hues are reserved for midsummer
costumes, while for city use dark Persian
to Dresden tones are much in evidence.
The plain colored silk parasols must
now show some sort of adornment to be
really smart. A three to five i-fch sewing
silk fringe makes an astonishing differ
ence to a snnshade that while perhaps
lust the right color for certain costume
nevertheless looks somewhat small and
ever plain this year. This fringe can be
made or bought by the yard and attached
TO the edge of the silk, with the result ol
parasol that looks as though just hn-
norted from a Partisan shop. 1t neces-
sarv the sewing silk fringe can be DYED
to order at very small cost.
One exceedingly pretty parasol oil plaln
color is adorned with an enormous ribbon
bow. the loops and ends spreading tar over
several of the panels. In soft satin OF I'D
ertv this ribbon will not interfere with
the closing up of the parasol, and when
opened up looks quite charming Ihis
bowknot may be Of the exact tone OF the
silk itself. or else contrasting hue can
be used with good effect. One white or
cream colored sunshade can be carried
with number of different gowns by SIM
nly adding each time a different bowknot
TO accord with the color of the costume
This bow can be pinned with tiny safety
pins, although it will look better if basted
on each time.
Panels can now be had stamped for en-
broidering in sheerest batiste as well as
good linen of not too heavy quality. These
embroidered pieces stretched over col
ored silk foundation make most attractive
summer sunshades.
The psrasols this year are somewhat
larger and more spreading than usual, for
the average hat of to-day could receive
but small protection from a parasol of
ordinary dimensions. AS a parasol is car
ried as much to guard the delicate straw
of the hat as to shield the eyes from glare,
it should certainly be sufficiently large to
answer this requirement..
The sticks to the parasols of this sea-
son are quite long and the handles are
unusually attractive. A large fat knob
in the shape of rose or gardenia or
poppy, according to the color, makes an
easy handle to grasp and is exceedingly
pretty in either china or wood. The new
finely carved and delicately colored
wooden handles are really works of art
this year.
Hand painted silk parasols are always
in vogue, and this year is no exception,
when flower effects are striven for in
every detail of dress. A girl blessed
with any talent with her brush can
readily turn the cheapest plain silk para
sol into one which gives the appearance
of great cost by simply painting over it
some effective flower design.

INCE one is never so hungry US
when out motoring it has come to
pass that a new type of meal
must be invented-the motor
luncheon.
The preparation of these lunch-
cons is a good place for the hostess OIL the
future-the young girl of to-day-to oegin
tho study of housekeeping. One oil the
first requisites of good hostess Is the
ability to forget herself and think only oil
the Measure of her guests. This means
that she must consider first the substan-
tials that the men of the party will ENJOY
and have. not chocolate cake because 1t is
her own favorte, but the kinds OF sand
wiches. salads and cakes that father,
brothers or guests particularly like. Her
reward will come when, as they eat, some
one says "s!yy Ny, What 4 socd luncheon
Who put it upT"
First comes the question of the hamper.
If your motor car does not boast one OF
the beautifully appointed hampers or
satchels that are sold nowadays for use on
all day trps you can contrive one for your
rattan suit cases and fit it up with tins
or enameled ware boxes. There should
also be a screw top glass jar for salad and
one or two bottles for coffee, Lemonade or
any other preferred drink. BY far the best
way-indeed, the only satisfactory way
to carry anything to drink is in the bottles
that are specially made to keep liquids at
the same temperature for hoars. With
these you can have something really hot
TO drink or something very cold, according
to weather conditions.
A tin cracker box will hold sandwiches
wrapped neatly in 'wax paper; another,
and smaller, will do for n few crisp
cheese crackers to eat with the salad. and
a third will hold the cake. Fitted in
between these should be small spice tins
in which are put the salt and pepper
shakers, as a dish favored to suit one
persons taste often lacks flavor for some
one else. At one end, where the straps
will hold them, you should put four or
six white enamelled ware or china plates
and against the cover should be straps
of tape into which You can slip knives,
forks and spoons. Tumblers and cups
also must be fitted in and napkins
These may be either linen napkins or
the Japanese paper ones, which can be
thrown away. The dishes, too, if that
is preferred, can be of kind that are
thrown away after using them. One can
buy in these days dishes of almost any

1 INGERIE pillows are as necessary
part of every girls couch FURNISHINGS
as ever, and new supply seems al
ways to be needed in the spring, for even
the most careful laundering cannet make
these delicate creations very long lived
Some of the new designs are quite en-
couragingly simple and seem especially
suited to the girls room.
Just at present the oblong pillows are
the most popular, although it is always
useful to have pillows of different shapes,
which are much more comfortable than
those of uniform shape.
One of the simplest of the new lingerie
pillows is trimmed only with hemstitch-
ing and drawn work. There is a hem all
around the edge of the pillow and a sec
ond row of hemstitching inside this. Then
two inches further in toward the centre
there is a band of drawn work about a
half inch wide.
Venetian lace is used to decorate the
pillows in a variety of ways. In some
pillows there is quite a large oblong OF the
lace forming the centreplece ana afouhu
this are embroidered designs, this DelnS
outlined with an insertion OF the We
netian lace. Other pillows have a very
small oblong of the lace in the centre, the
rest of the pillow being embroidered WIN
perhaps corner pieces of the lace. Other
designs show the lace used III small pieces
SET here and there as the central motive
for an embroidered design. Nalenciennes,
ruipure and Irish lace are also used in
this manner and are supplemented with
nne French embroidery.
A great many of the new lingerie pill
lows are bordered with band of the
material coming out beyond the pillow
itself like Il rune, except that 1T IS not
full. Sometimes this extension edge is OF
lace. put on without gathers, ana some
times it is of the material itsAf scalloped,
buttonholed or hemstitched or finished
with narrow lace. This extension border
is not wide i'll any of the new pillows,
from an inch to an inch and half being
the usual widths.
Pillows finished in this fashion are fire.
trimmed with English eyelet
work. and not much of this is used to
make up rather scattered design.
Heavy crash pillow covers are EN-
broidered with coarse cotton in sort of
rope design, and these, although much
heavier and more substantial, are asso-
ciated with the lingerie pillows because
they launder we'll and are made to slip
on and off the pillows and to fasten with
buttons.

Misses Pretty Petticoats.

u Y buying the materials and doing
} the sewing herself a girl may have
several pretty petticoats at the cost
of a single ready made one. For the
street there is nothing better than a five
gored petticoat of changeable taffeta of
softest weave with an umbrella hounce,
which gives the maximum fulness with
the minimum bulk, trimmed with rows
of embroidered scallops finished with an
underset pleating of maline.
Pongee petticoats, which are popular
because they launder so satisfactorily,
are made similarly to those of taffeta
and have hounces tucked in groups
trimmed with self-colored torchon lace
or with hand embroidered scalloped
edges of a matching or contrasting shade.
Matinee petticoats, intended to accom-
pany the fluffy little negligee jacket or
kimono sacque, are daintiest i'll white,
pale yellow, violet, green, blue or rose
India silk cut in either five gored or
straight widths and trimmed with a
flounce of silk and Valenciennes lace in
sertion entire deuX of lace edged net or
of wide lace, headed with a ribbon run
beading. Soft silk is also used as the
foundation of petticoat having three or
four founces of sheer white null with
two inch wide hem run with satin ribbons
of the same color as the skirt, drawn
through eyeletholes at one side and tied
in pert looking little bows.
Ribbon threaded net petticoats are so
fetching that it seems Il pity to cover
them with party frocks. The five straight
widths of dotted or plain net which form
the top are stitched down fatty to just
above the knees, where delicately col
ored broad satin ribbon run through eye
let's partially holds in the fulness about
the knees. The lower edge of the upper
portion of the skirt has two horizontal
pin tucks, and below that is set on a
very deep founce of the net laid in four
groups of three narrow tucks. which are
run with ribbons of graduated width-a
tucks and two inches broad above the
lowest set. The same design is pretty for
a pettieoat of fine null or dotted swiss.
