The striped p~arasol is a practical
everyday affair of navy blue %taffcta
with a lining of black and white strip

a lining of Hack and white striped
t%affeta. The ribs are tipped with
knobs of imitation ivory and the

The Hindoo parasol is a fad of the
moment. This parasol is almost fiat,
like a saucer OF inverted plate when
open. but specially devised hinged
ribs allow it to close in the ordinary
manner. Summer parasols in Hindoo
style are made of all-over embroid-
cry with a band of black velvet set
between w frills of lace around the
edge. Very elaborate carriage para
soils have appIiqued designs of velve,

wonderfully summary and dainty and

with handsome fringe for extremely
acrimonious afternoon occasions.
