but the seasons parasols will have
more, for while not every woman has
the courage to don a garment or Il hat
Of conspicuous color almost any wom-
an viii dare to turn al effulgent fan
cy loose in the matter of parasOls.
Green holds first place in the list of
eolOr favorites-emerald green, par

long as it is bright and gay. Green
has always been fairly good parasol
color, but never has it had such popu-
larity as it bids fair to have this
season, and, though the manufactur-
ers, fOreseeing some such state Of
things, provided lavishly for the de-
mand, it is announced that the stack
of green parasols in the shops has
melted away like snow before Chinook
winds and that rush orders for sup
Elementary supplies are being put

All of this is in a way pleasant
hearing, for gay dashes of bright
green are delightful notes in the sum-
mer crowd and chime harmoniously
with all the other cOlors. But there is
one thing to be considered, and that
is that the unlined green parasol gives
CHASTITY tone to the complexion of
the woman between whose face and
the sun it is inteTposed. 1t makes an
agreeable background for almost any
head, but yellow sunlight filtering
through bright green silk will cast

Embroidery and paintings are used
to embeIlish some Of the more elabo-

SOME USEFUL HINTS.
Gus Subjects to the Busy
Housekeeper.

Here are some new hints for the
housekeeper. or for any woman, for
that matter. For example, one needn't
be a housekeeper or even a woman to
be glad to know what to do when
fishbone is stuck in ones throat,
According to this authority, the prop
er thing is to hand the sufferer a lem
on. If 1t is sucked for a little while
the bone will move on. In one case
it succeeded after the bone had been
in the throat two days.
Another use for lemon juice is to re-
move warts. This is done by dropping
it on twice a day.
To retain the color and gloss Of a
white silk blouse after washing put
a teaspoOnful of alcohol into the rims
ing water. This keeps it from turn
ing yellow and gives it when irOned
the gloss of new silk.
To clean the lace yoke and sleeves
Of waists sprinkle the lace freely with
powdered borax, then roll it up and
fasten with pins. Let it remain for at
least twelve hours, then shake out
and brush with clean soft brush.
To remove ink stains from carpets
take a saucer of fresh milk and a clean
soft rag. Renew the milk if necessary
and wash finally with clean water.
To take coffee stains from any mate
rial rub a little glycerin into the stain
and then wash with hot soap and wa
ter.
To prevent milk from scOrching
when it is being boiled sprinkle little
sugar into the saucepan after the milk
is poured into it. Do not stir the milk
even though the pan is a very thin
one. The milk will not burn, but will
leave the saucepan as clean as if only
water had been in it.

aer that suits her face. ii may be
parted in the middle or not at all;
there may be fringeS or a low pOmpa-
1Our. One of the few conditions that
fashion makes is that the brow should
be covered. The advent of the fringe
was not greeted with the loud acclaim
that it really deserved 1t came in
si5vly and was almost universal be-
fore people took any especial notice
Of it.
Puffs are still worn, as are ringlets,
and the knot may be at the crown Of
the head or below the ears, but under
no circumstances on top Of the head.
There are still many eccentric ways
Of doing the hair, though sensible and
sane methods prevail. In the evening
ornaments are worn, such as fillets,
tiny rhinestone bands across the fore
head, wide jet bands and even antique
lace done in gold or silver.
The theater caps remain fashionable,
and some of them show the hair. In
the morning and at all hours in the
street there is a conspicuous absence
Of ornament. Side combs, back comb
and large she'll pins are more apt to
be avoided than worn. When it is
necessary to wear side combs to keep
heavy hair in position they are hidden
as much as possible and used only for
comfort
a most becoming fad is the sur
mounting Of the hair with q filmy
Dutch cap Of white lace and pink
roses. These little caps are quite fash
lOnable for house wear and are some
times made of wide fat bands of hand
some lace. Often there are streamers

The medieval cOiffure is quite pop
ular among young girls, although it is

Survival of Kimono Sleeve.

1t is strange how faithful Dame
Fashion Is to the kimOnO sleeve, which
still appears on the latest models, and
we have gone back to the very high
waist effect. In most of the new skirts
there is a loose plait at the back,
which hangs down to varying lengths,
but generally reaches the hem. This
has a charming effect and takes away
the extreme severity of the plain tight
skirt. The train, which has made IT'S
appearance, is either cut quite square
or is very narrow indeed.

GIFTS TO BRIDESMAIDS.
the Days When Brides Were
Captured.

The giving of presents by the bride
groom to the bridesmaids is an inter
esting link with primeval days. There
are authorities who contend that 1t is
a survival Of the old marriage by cap
ture. and even nov in some countries
the bridesmaids, all dressed alike, will
not allow the bridegroom TO approach
the bride until he has bestowed on
them a little cadeau TO commemorate
the event In India the Kurku girls
pretend to resist the removal of the
bride, pelting the prospective bride
groom with balls of boiled rice. On
the threshold of the home they make
a final stand and only capitulate after
the friends of the bridegroom as we'll
as himself have paid toll in the form
Of presents.
In Risengebirge on the evening Of
the day preceding the one on which
the celebration of the nuptials takes
place the bridesmaids assemble at the
home Of the bride to make the wreaths,
and during the meal which follows
three symbolic dishes are placed be-
fore the bride. When the dancing is
over two yelled figures are held up to
the prospective husband by the files
d'hOnneur. neither of which is his spe-
cial property. He then becomes impa-
tient Finally a third figure is con-
Quoted to him, but ere he is permitted
to claim her he has to pay a heavy ran
som to the girls who surround her
In these utilitarian days it is per-
missible for the bridegroom to give
something useful as well as Orna-
mental to the bridesmaids 1t must,
however. be a trifie that can be worn.
Quite a novel idea is the presentation
Of a set consisting of a wreath. au-
mOniere and muff, which sometimes
includes a little neck or shoulder ac-
cessory. Very appropriate for this pur-
pose are those fashioned Of ribbon fes-
tooned with diminutive flowers, which
often represent the brides favorite or
name flower.
For instance, the wreath might be OF
apple blossom finished with a pale pink
bow. The basis Of the bag would be
ribbon shOwered with petals of the
flower OF a trail of the blossoms and
suspended from the shoulders by a
heavy gold or silver bullion cord.
AS a matter of fact, these bags are
carried in a similar manner to the
sItchel of the schoolbOy. The same
idea is repeated in the muff.

Hooks on Skirt Band.

ONE would think every one would
know that the best way to keep a
blouse and skirt together is not to use
safety pins, but TO sew hooks in the
skirt and eyes to correspond on the
back Of the waistband of the blouse,
and yet, judging by all the specimens
OF waist and skirt divorce and com
plete separation that we see, there are
still many to whom that knowledge
is lacking. 1t might be well to say in
addition that f the blouse be too deli

good deal of hair to do it or buy a suf

is made from one large thick puff and
is upheld at each side with a pOmpa-
dour. The hair on top is quite fat,
parted in the middle, and the forehead
covered with a thin curly fringe.
Here is he coiffure that young girls
like the best and find the most becOm-
ing: There is no pompadOur. There
are curling fringes from ear to ear, d
mass of puffs over the crown of the
head and a broad fillet of cut jet with
an osprey of jet and rhinestOnes at
the side This cOiffure is only intend
ed for evening wear, and even when
the fIIet is omitted the mound of puffs
is no longer considered in good taste
for day wear.

SUMMER HATS,
No Definite Shape Prescribed
During Warm Season.
Coiors and Trimmings 20 Suit Every
Face and Fancy Napoleon
Shape Gives Military Hint
and Is Very Popular.

The subject Of hats is always an in
teresting theme to women. You see.
it doesn't require so much time and
money to dOff a hat and don a new
one, and the change makes US feel as
if we were IN new Fegalia. Here are
a few good suggestions to women who
can combine taste with the knack OF
making hats.
The rolling brim IS a new turn OF
affairs. This is possible if the shape
be Of supple straw and the brim be
extremely wide al one side. General
ly the untrimmed hat is blocked in
this form, but you can roll up the brim
and tack it on the crown after massing
a bunch of flowers and foliage at one
side. Outline the crown with velvet
ribbon and run this through slots on
the upturned brim.
In this season of scarlet and cerise
it is TO be expected that geraniumS
will be popular. On a green chip with
a slight roll at one side of the wide
brim masses of the scarlet and cerise
flowers are placed. A fat bow Of
green velvet ribbon is used at one
side The method of trimming is quite
simple and easy followed out at home
There isn't any brim to speak of in
a hat whose crown has decided to play
the principal part. 1t is of black chip,
with a bunch of royal blue plumeS at
the back. A band of blue satin ribbon
is tied around the lower part and ends
In soft bow at the front. This is
reminiscent Of the @clOche" OF the win
ter
A study in viOlets is suggested in a
delightful admixure of puppies and
lavenders. A crown of the lovely vel
vet flowers is the trimming. There is
a fat bow of heliotrope velvet at the
back, and a velvet facing is On the
under surface Of the purple straw
This idea in any color, carried out in
The Washington bee., 1911-07-01

two or three shades, will do for those
who do not care for the purple varia-
tiOns.
Serviceability is the main point in a
black chip with an upturned brim. A
facing of satin is used on the edge,
and a pointed tab outlined with satin
covered buttons trims one side of the
brim. There is no other trimming on
the shape. That means that you can
insist upon a fine straw and revel in
it.
Enter Napoleon! The military hint
is given in the upturned brim and the
two cOrnered effect. A binding is
used on the edge, and a full plume is
placed so that high effect is attain
ed. 1t drOOps toward the front over
the brim.
Ostrich feathers are still uncurled.
A made plume of salmon pink and
buff goes well on black. 1t points to-
ward the back. The chip hat is faced
with black velvet, and a necktie bow
OF velvet is the rest of the story.
Big hats, little hats, round hats,
pointed hats, straight hats, rolling
hats and every kind of gorgeous trim
ming to grace the shapes is the mes
sage that comes from the milliners.
Truly the story of the hat has varied
and pleasing chapters.

given an edging Of the same, which
figures again as a foot trimming.
The bodice exploits one Of the new
est Paris notes in its empire lines, with
the narrow peplum that is here work
ed out with the embroidery points. 1t
is entirely of an all over embroidery,
matching the pattern of the skirt
trimming, and is of the usual kimOno
suggestion, except that there is a lit
tie more fullness above the belt of vel
vet ribbon.
The same model would he effective in
china silk with an all over lace or net,
or it offers an excellent idea for max
ing up the embroidered robes that are
to be bought in any of the shops.

PAPER TOWELS.
Can Be Used but Once, but Their Sani-
tary Advantages Are Great.
Not Expensive.

There is now on the market paper
towel, and for it many advantages are
claimed.
The paper towel is made Of a tough,
soft. absorbent Grape tissue paper
made up in long strips which are roll
ed. For use paper towels are carried
on a roller fixture. The long rolled
strip is cross perforated at regular in
tervals, giving to each roll $50 sec
tfors or towels, each about a foot in
width by a foot and a half long.
When you want a towel you simply
tear one off.
4 paper towel can, Of course, be
used but once. but it is not expensive.
1t is designed to provide sanitary
towel for hotels and clubs, for schools
and various institutions, for railroad
stations, public buildings, stores and
factories and for domestic use-a
clean towel for every one at every
wash

To Wash Wool Sweater.

If it is really dirty shake out all the
dust. drop it into slightly warm water
and stir around. Place in clean warm,
soapy water with a teaspOOnful Of
borax in it, gently sOuse up and down,
and if there are any greasy spots rub
soap on your hands and manipulate
the sweater, but do not allow a bit OF
soap to come in contact with the wool
Rinse in three clear warm waters and
add few drops of bluing to the final
water. Press the water out, place in
a large pillowcase and suspend the
four corners by large pins over the tub
for three days, then spread on a sheet
In the sunshine for day or two until
dry. This method was given by an ex-
pert cleaner.

the curved outline of the satin sash
end and also appear upon the bodice.
Blue satin is drawn in folds upon q
girdle form around the waist, and un-
der this sash are tucked the ends OF
wide revers that turn back upon the
blouse on each side of the little green
satin vest. 1t is quite mOdish to in
troduce note Of apple green costumes
Of blue and also of Helen pink, where
the contrast in color is even more star
ting. In this gown an apple green
vest shows above the joining lace
beading around the edges Of light blue
lace undersleeves and also upon the
edge Of the collar.
With this costume is carried a strip
ed chiffon parasOl of the same cOloring
as the gown, and dark blue is promi-
nent in the hat.
No more charming style Of gown
could be designed for summer wear
ing, and the fashion is one easily cop
led in chiffon, striped mulls, lawns and
batistes and in figured and plain goods
combined. Dots and stripes also com
bine well, and the bOrdered effects to
be found in all styles of goods at pres
ent lend themselves admirably to this
style of dress.
Chiffon and kindred diaphanous ma
terials have never been so cheap, and
it pays to buy them while the price
is low. FOulards, on the contrary,
seem to steadily rise in price, and one
now pays as much as 81 more per
yard than a few months ago
