With a dainty parasOI

New York, May 23.-A sunshade
doubles as first aid to compilations
and affections She is a wise summer
girl who opens up her seasons cam,
paign by opening up her parasol The
moment a pretty woman raises one she
is sure to be spotted by some sons and
not to be spotted by summer suns.
These days they have reached tho
very top notch of ingenuity, frivOlity
and beauty. Ruffled and tucked and
shirred and puffed they unfurl their
glories to the breeze. Though the most
exquisite and costly fabrics, chiffon,
taffeta, crepe and cretonne are used to
cover their bare ribs, it is the shape Of
the 1913 parasol that makes it a thing
Iof beauty and joy for cover. With
the perverse vagary Of Fashion it is
now decreed that small women must
have no shapes, parasols must have all
shapes. There is pagoda parasol built
for all the world like the old Chinese
temple roofs and brilliant in the exotic
hues Of Oriental silks. A quaint round.
one Of one toned taffeta turned up all
around the edge like hat with a rolled
brim is decidedly eccentric. A delec
table model Of white chiffon over green
silk has an edge Of transparent sbirred
tulle. Through this half revealing half
eoncealing border ones eyes have all
the lure Of sloe eyed odalisque. There
is nothing slow about this parasol, how
ever.
Since there is language of flowers
why not one of sunshades4 The riot
of shapes this season would surely make
up quite vocabulary. At least they
are the last word in parasols, and there
is one to designate each type of girl.
There is circular parasol with coquet-
tish insets Of lace and border of shir-
red silk for the all around flirt. A
quaint four cornered affair in true blue
brocade for the girl who is on the
square A three cornered one Of black
satin lined with lavender chiffon for
tho charmer who is one Of the inevitable
" triangle" love affair. There is an
Empire model smothered in picot edges
. and ruffles for the giddy butterfly lass
and bell shaped beauty in crepe
sprinkled With tiny bouquets of flowers
for the belle of the beach.
The new half tilted parasol of yellow
| crepe set piquantly aslant its stick is
, just the thing for the maid who is not
quite on The level There is one shaped
like an aeroplane that would dc nicely
for flyaway miss, and most freaky Of
q all is boat shaped model all ahoy for
the lass who loved a sailor OF course
. there is the Balkan sun shade which is
q regulation round affair bordered in
9 the natural colors, yellow, red and blue.
0 Of all the novelties in the com
: brelle" line, the tilted models are the
I most attractive and unique. AS artis-
g tic backgrounds for glowing faces at
garden parties, or on the afternoon
a drive they arc prettiest of allover lace
I with pastel tinted chiffon Innings. The
miniature parasols for carriage use only
arc simply doll sized versions of the
o grown up affairs They are decidedly
r perky with their ornate trimmings, aud
t giddy hues and far cry from the tiny

d dowager,

ribbon or an airy rosette. To be a

have one well in hand,
You must needs have your throat
