The new parasols show no sign
that we are returning to the simple
life; never have they been more
luxurious or more costly. There
are plenty of cheap ones, too, and
surprisingly good looking they are,
in silk and linen alike.
For general use, some women
will have nothing but a navy blue
parasol A smart new one in the
many ribbed Japanese shapes has
dark wood handle with knob top
set in lapis lazuli trimmed in old
silver.
Somewhat gayer is blue parasol
in warm tone of navy with a
deep border of dark blue and white
stripes with pale blue lozenges on
the white.
Smart for general use are parasols
of pongee lined with silk of bril-
liant shade, as bright green, coral,
fame color, and blue. The handles
to the parasols are rather plain in
handsomely grained light wood.
Flowered silk parasols of high
luster on white or cream silk are
made more becoming by lining
of plain silk in the predominating
tone of the design. A lovely cover
of conventional chrysanthemums in
pastel pinks and mauve is lined
with a pale mauve and has a white
enamel handle set with an anne
thyst on the top.
A novelty of the season are
shirred Innings to parasols, to give
sort of canopy effect when the
parasol is raised. One of these with
a thin silk cover of pale pink had
the lining of deep rose that gave
a pretty shaded effect.
Many smart parasols are in two
toned satins and in combinations of
blue and gold, rose and silver, vio-
let and green.
Parasols rarely have decided
changes of shape, but this year
there is square top that may APP
peal to the lover of novelties. 1t is
seen in vivid red, green and vio-

and sometimes has a deep border
in contrasting color, again a mar
row silk fringe.
White linen parasols are always
in favor with summer frocks About
the only difference is in the motifs
of the embroidery One stylish de-
sign had a deep border worked in
huge conventionalized roses in heav-
lily padded satin stitch and fancy
filling stitches.
White and pongee parasols both
show border of heavy braid com.
bined with embroidered dots. Otter
a cording of the material is used
instead of braid.

Empire-green is a favorite shad,
in the new parasols. Red promises
to be very popular with whit
dresses, especially lovely fam
color that is new and becoming.
There is a tiny round paraso
with short handle that can be car

small to be much affected by win
