PARASoL MATCHES THE HAT
That Is, In the Latest Designs II
Agrees With the Millinery Ac-
companylng II.

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 a 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 If the millinery Is Of a spreading
character then when the parasol is
opened It is seen that It is Japanese
like in its fiat aspect.
Lace posed upon chiffon or yelled
with tulle is a combination OF mate
rails Of acknowledged elegance for the
sunshade, and It not infrequently hap
pens that trail Of mousseline flow
ers is posed inside the parasol, per-
chance to coincide with the trimming
Of the hat or with the flowers that
decorate the gown.
OF freak handles there are always a
certain number, and one Of the quaint.
est is the cuckoo clock. Press a
spring and the doors of the cuckoo
clock fly open and the cuckoo appears
on the threshold. He is a silent bird,
for his trick begins and ends with
the little performance already de
scribed.
