PARAsoL MATCHES THE HAT

JULIA soTToMLEY.

II the very decorative possibilities
of the parasol have been overlooked
Of late, the warm weather has made
the fact clear that a parasol adds the
last note OF distinction to dress. Ev-
cry one interested In dress comments
upon the varied designs of this sum-
mer's parasols and upon the amusing
way In which each one agrees with
the shape Of the hat that is worn.
When feathers tower above the
crown OF the chapeau the parasol
carried has an obliging cupola crown,
and II the millinery Is of spreading
character then when the parasol is
opened 1t Is seen that 1t is Japanese
like in its fiat aspect.
Lace posed upon chiffon or yelled
with tulle is combination Of mate

sunshade, and 1t not infrequently hap.
pens that trail OF mousseline fow-
ers is posed inside the parasol, per-
chance to coincide with the trimming
Of the hat or with the flowers thai
decorate the gown.
OF freak handles there are always q
certain number. and one OF the quaint
est is the cuckoo clock. Press q
spring and the doors of the cuckoo
clock fly open and the cuckoo appears
on the threshold. He is silent bird

the little performance already de

Girls Men Hate.

Men may laugh and joke with the
girl who tries to be manly" but they
never want to marry her.
Men heartily dislike girls who nag
and scold; they want to run mile
from them. Men may be sorry Tor
painfully shy girls, but these do not
appeal to them. They make them feel
awkward and bashful themselves. Men
avoid girls who are always saying
spiteful things about other girls.
Men hate untidy, slovenly girls. with
badly brushed hair and crooked
waist line.
Men fight shy OF duh. DISCONTINUED
