ODDITY IN NEW SUNSHADE
Long Handles of Velvet Give Distinc.
tive Appearance to the Parasols
introduced From France.

One of the oddities in the new
French sunshades is that they have
handles of velvet. These are exceed
ingly long. after the manner of those
used in the Directorie days. and there.
fore the velvet is quite conspicuous. ID
Is in a different color from the para
sol itself. Vivid colors are omitted,
but black and white Is used a great
deal.
The sunshade itself is not small. On
the contrary 1T is quite large, for
these accessories are evidently intend
ed to really keep the sun from the
head; although the majority OF women
Will use them folded, more as an orna-
mental staff than anything else.
Already the picturesque women
arrive at a full knowledge of their
physical possibilities and limitations
and who, therefore, dress with indiVid-
ual1ty, are securing the longest han
died parasols and using them as a
means OF %posturing a la Tosca-you
remember the way all the Toscas OF
the stage have stood with two fin
gers resting on the knob Of a long
ivory staff twined with roses.

For the Corset Cover.

Just when you are in the greatest
hurry the ribbon in the corset cover
breaks and you have no time to put

wash ribbons do, for they are fragile
and after a few washings are hope
lessly worn. Instead of using ribbons.
get white crochet cotton, crochet a
string and run it through the top of
the corset cover, finish each end with
a little tassel of cotton, and you will
have no more trouble with broken
strings. White silkateen may also be
used for the same purpose, and by
crocheting a double thread you can
make it suitable for running through
lingerie p%etticoats.

All Sorts of Collars.

Collars are of such a variety of
shapes and sizes that the last thing
to be tolerated is monotony. Some
lie fiat. some set up and around the
throat. but whatever the shape or the
material the neck is cut large, so as
TO leave the throat free. There ars
lace collars with wire supports. and
others of the medici pattern, wide col
lars covering the shoulders and mold

stoles reaching to the waist. and
sometimes much lower. so as to give

cussing the question of the natural
waist line"
Ihere are a great many persons IN
this world who can never be content
TO let we'll enough alone. They al
ways want to go one better than any,
one else. And his has been the case
with regard to the natural waist line
NO sooner had it been decided that ma
ture was to be permitted to enjoy a
period of authority, no sooner was the
average woman content to exchange
her stiff corset of linen and whalebone
for one made of tricot, thar some one
started the idea that with a natural
figure there ought to be a new. and &C.
centric method Of walking, even of
standing.
The chest was to be thrown back
and the figure directly below the waist
was to be thrown out And in this
way the whole body was to be dis
torted. 1t is an insane idea, but there
are always silly people ready and will
ing to seize upon anything new. no
matter how ridiculous it may be.
And so We find some would-be fash
lonable women walking as though
they had taken lessons from their
or from their charwomen. 1t is
very absurd. but the fad really exists.

Care Of Silk umbreIla

Ia, stand 1t handle down to dry. then

furl the silk sections. IF the silk gets
a spot on 1t, remove 1t with a silk rag
warm water and soap. Clean a gold
or silver handle with whiting. wash a
china handle in warm soap suds. rub
up a wooden handle with a very slight

umbrella Is to wet a piece of black

or a house makes 1t impossible for the
women OF the household to have indf-

upstairs room which could be made
into a sitting room or dressing room
for their collective use.
IL could be supplied with a comfort
able couch, where breakfast or other
meals could be taken by any one tired

To get most benefit out of blankets
that have become too thin for ordi-

together and cover them with sateen

made across them to hold them in

The little parasol of black and
