MOT to be quite out of the scheme OF
~ things In the world of styles para
soils have added unto themselves
decorations of ribbon and furbelows of
chiffon and flowers as we'll.
Plain white silksparasols are deco
rated with lowered Dresden ribbons
put on in a number Of different ways.
Strips of 1t are applied to the silk
lengthwise and trimmed of to fit in
about the top. This arrangement is
managed usually by applying the rib
bon before the cover is stretched on
the frame. But separate cover may
be made Of light weight figured rib
bon and placed over the plain silk
cover. In this case the ribbon is
caught down to the cover with hand
Sewing.
The most popular method of ap-
plying fancy ribbons to parasols is
that shown in the picture presented
here. The ribbon is applied in the
form Of a ruffie with no extra fullness
at the lower edge. 1t Is tackled to the
ribs with tied stitches that are care
fully put in to be unnoticeable. The
upper edge is gathered with an over
cast stitch that takes up the extra
fullness, and hand-sewed with fine
stitches to the covering.
Black velvet ribbon Is a great IA
vorite for finishing edges. 1t is put
on as a plain border or with some
fullness as ruffle, like that which
edges the parasol pictured here.
Gauze ribbons and figured chiffon
are easy to manage for decorating
plain parasols. Large circles of chif-
fon having greater length of radius
than the length OF the rib in the

parasol are cut out and from their
a gathering thread Is run in about
the edge OF the small inner circle 1t
IL drawn up about the apex Of the
parasol and fastened there. Then the
fullness is disposed evenly and the
chiffon cover spread over the pafasoL
The edge of the chiffon covering is
usually hemstitched. The effect Is
very pretty when the covering Is a
little larger than the parasol and the
chiffon hem falls below or beyond
the silk edge.
Narrow ribbons applied row on row
in fairly full ruffles are featured on
many of the smart parasols for mid
summer. Given a plain white parasol
and an eye for beauty, the girl who
would indulge her own taste need
only look over the ribbon stock and
put her wits to work. She can make
a lovely flower-covered and portable
pagoda for her own use.
Smart parasols for the street are
made of checks trimmed with borders
of plain ribbon. Black and white
shepherds plaid, as an instance, looks
we'll with narrow border of emerald
green. The same narrow ribbon
shirred at the edges is applied in fig.
ures to the sections Of the parasol.
There is a liking also for rosettes
of ribbon and chiffon arranged about
the handle Of the parasol. These re.
peat the idea in the decoration of it's
cover. The example shown here Is
typical Of the manner in which the
plain parasol bedecks It's plainness
with ribbon finery.

r PRINGTIME wells OF open mesh,
y and almost invisible on the face,
must before long give place to the
floating wells of summer. Face wells
are the most sensible that have been
worn, made OF wonderfully fine firm
silk and woven in hexagonal or dia-
mond-shaped openings. They hold the
hair in place, and are too filmy to in
terfere with the eyesight. They are
very becoming with all their unobtru-
siveness.
But for midsummer numerous closer
woven Inexperienced wells, with bor-
ders in lace designs, have already
made their initial entrance upon the
STAGE of summer fashions. Whether
they are to prove themselves favor
ties with the fair arbiters of the fate
of styles, remain yet to be proved.
But the chances are with them, wheth-
er the fates are or are not. They are
one more pretty furbelow added to the
unusual number which women have
taken unto themselves for use during
the coming season.
