Fourteen-ribbed ParasoIs stylish.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
While t may be possible to change last
years garments into up-to-dste modes. 1t
viii be useless TO experiment with para
soils in this way.
Either one must be content with passe
styles or buy new sunshades, because
everything used in the development of
the new parasols is different from 1909.
In pa-asols. as In garments. IT was
thought the chantecler would rule all
other styles. but this much-talked-of
mode has It's rivals, which in all proba-
bllity viii prove as popular.
II seems every parasol mounted upon
handle decorated at the end with
carved head is called a chantecler. but
the fact is the genuine chantecler Is a
twelve-ribbed (gilt canopy-shaped frame
covered with a deep pink or rather cherry
color taffeta-cerise, as the French call It.
The stick is long and ends in a crook
formed from the long neck of a bird in
brilliant ColOTings.
The canopy shape is the newest II is
not unlike the paTasol carried twenty-five
years ago, when the covering was cut at
the top TO conceal a spiral spring attached
10 the tip Of the handle. These sunshades
are not unduly large, and are rounded
rather than fat, so I fancy the shape is
apt to interfere with ones comfort IL a
large hat Is worn beneath.
ParasOls with ten, twelve and even
fourteen ribs are by no means unusual
The newest are Of gilt and when many
are used bTanehed ribs, instead of one
for each section of cover are employed.
These make the inside look as attractive

The Parachute Hat.

From the New York Tribune.
The prototype of the matinee hat of to-
day is said to have been the parachute"
hat, which originated in France in i7S5.
The dimensions of this historic head COW
ering were enormous. and no less a per-
sonage than Cardinal Fleury was re-
sponsible for 1t. Asked by the Countess
Dubarry for present. his eminence re-
sponded by sending her a very large hat
And as he was a wit as we'll as car
dinal and a politician, he caused to be
inscribed inside the hat. in Greek char
acters. the words Charity covereth a
multitude of sins" The countess. having
got one Of her learned satellites to
translate the words. retorted in the same
vein by returning the hat to the cardinal
with his text replaced by the homely and
apt proverb, Charity begins at home. -
The story was quickly circulated in all
the fashionable salons. and in conse-
quence the large hat became the rage. At
first it was allied the cardinals hat"
but as this title was regarded by the
church as irreverent future models were
renamed the ''parachute,"

DON'TS FOR STOUT WOMEN.

From the New York Times
The stout woman must not slump.
Her one safeguard is an erect carriage
head up, chest up, abdomen in This
wards off that fieshy back.
Nor must she permit herself TO relax
Negllgees. comfort, and down-at-the-heel
attire are not for her. She should keep
trim. though she nearly passes away with
heat
She must watch her manners, particu-
larry her table manners. She may not
take liberties with her elbows, lop over
the table. or eat carelessly. Datotiness Is
essential If she would not be repulsve.
The stout woman must train herself
to light walking Nothing shows fer
weight like dragging her feet and ciump-
ing heavily.
She must discriminate in styles. Put
her in a bicorne hat, peasant drapery.
and chantecler eolorings. and she need
not be surprised at criticism.
She must learn to take life quietly. Elk
cjtement. rushing, and temper are con-
ducive to apoplexy and do not improve
looks. The red-faced stout woman. look
ing ready for apoplexy, is not a pleasing
vision.
She must be dignifed. It moves the
onlooker to tears to see the stout full
of airs. graces. and kittenish coyness.
Her dignity should not interfere with
jollity; the hearty laugh Is hallmark
of avoirdupois.
She must learn to toy with food. Fast
ing is not healthful. banting is a trial to
the soul but greatness in the stout is as
UNPLEASANT as il is fieghmaking.
Beyond all, she must wear good coTsets
and learn how 10 put them on 1t makes
lust the difference between mountains OF
flesh and a trim, stylish figure. trifie
too large. but not repellent.

NEW MOTOR COATS.
From the Philadelphia star.

From the Philadelphia STAR
New motor coats prove, beyond ques-

usefulness, that fashion artists spend
much time and thought in designing gar

CheviOts in mannish checks take the
precedence over all materials this year.

Hatnins.

From the Philadelphia North American.
How gigantic and beautiful are some of
the hatpinsi Since most Of the hats
rely upon the disks that are SO well
combining utility with beauty, it is not
surprising that makers have exerted
themselves In the designing Of these i'm
portant accessories.
Some of the enameled ware Is ex-
tremeiy ornate. ToTtoise-shell carved
in flower forms claims your eye. Huge
spikes Of jewels or large disks Of gilt
tering stones are quite as popular as the
lace forms that nestle among flowers and
tulle.
And-would you believe it?-there are
some that are playing a double role. for
the tops can be removed and tiny powder
puffs brought 10 light, where they can
be put TO use before the diminutive mir
ror of the latest novelty.

How to Clean Marble.

From the Philadelphia North American.
1t is well TO have on hand recipe or
two which will help us clean marble
Take two parts Of soda, one of pumice
stone, and one of finely powdered chalk
sift these through a fine sieve and mix
them into a paste with water Rub the
mixture all over the marble, and the
stains will be removed; now wash it with
soap and water, and beautiful bright
polish will be produced.
Another way TO remove stains from
marble is with a paste made of pow
dered pipeclay and fuller's earth mixed
with strong soap I've. Put a thick coat
ing Of the paste on the marble and pass
lightly over il a moderately warm fat
iron until it is dry Leave II for a short
time, and then wash 1t of with clean
water. Should the first application fail
to remove all stains, repeat the process.
Discoloration made by smoke may be
removed in the same mariner.
