N61EhHV though the merchants are
displaying them for the benefit of the
crowd who turn southwark at this season,
even the women who are in northern bond
age look at them longingly and see visions
Of sunshiny summer days.
The models are exceedingly attractive,
and though a greater variety will be shown
later on one might very well buy now with
out danger of future regret. The palmer
and more severe s~unshades always pre-
dominate in the early showing, fluffy
laces, chiffons, ETC.. being reserved for the
summer trade, but here are some charming
parasols of the elaborate summer type and
so pretty are they that 1t seems unlikely
that the later season will reveal anything
more desirable.
The lowered chiffons win general adml-
ration and the designers nave accom-
plished excellent effects with these dainty
fabrics, woven especially for parasol pur-
poses and exquisite both in color and in
design.
One line of these parasols has a wide
border of a plain color. above this is a fes-
toon floral design on a white ground and
the rest Of the cover has scattered flowers
harmonisIng with the ~festoon, but dis
tributed in little clusters over the white
surface. The whole chiffon cover is
slightly pulled over a plain white lining.
A delicate blue border, a somewhat
blurred, soft wreath of roses and foliage
and single roses scattered on a white
ground into which their outlines melt
vaguely, give an altogether delightful
effect, and other color schemes as attrac-
tive are many, though the pompado sug-
gestion Of blue and pink and white pre-
dominates.
Another design that is extremely sue
cessful has the border OF the roses and
foliage. This border is separated from the
main body of the cover by a wide r.band
and bow knot design and tiny rose clus.
