1t is not by any means necessary to
get the hat into the shade as in the
old form, before one could comfort
ably shelter the face.
These slanting parasols are made in
both the most elaborate as we'll as the
plainest shades; they fold up quite
evenly, the angle being arrived at by
the shortening of the inside ribs on
one side and the lengthening of them
on the other, SO that the outside ribs
remain exactly the same length all
round, and when shut the parasol
looks exactly like the old model.
In actual shape the fiat Japanese
model is in the great majority, very
little curve being given to the ribs,
and great many more ribs being
used than in the curved shapes. OF
course, fantastic shapes appear. one
of which is a butterfly, longer and
shorter ribs giving the correct shape.
This made up in chiffon as a slanting
shade looks well, although rather con-
spicuous; it is, however, certainly the
best model in the bizarre shapes.

WOULD HAVE SUNDAYS DULL
British Member of Parliament Sees
Mistake in Nonobservance of
the Sabbath.

Il think Sunday ought to remain
what some people call dull said ].
Ramsay Macdonald, NJ p, speaking
Mt Leicester. He appealed to religious
institutions to see that Sunday is not
secularized. People talked lot OF
nonsense about the Scottish Sabbath,
and did not know what they were
talking about. If they we're only
trained to appreciate the Scottish Sab
bath-it would take some amount OF
training-they would not be sorry II
they had it.
All the talk about turning Sunday
into day of recreation was humbug
and dangerous. In trying to do it
they were beginning at the wrong end
of the stick. They should not sacri-
flee the blessings they had got.
He looked forward to the time when
everybody would have sufficient time
for recreation during the secular days
of the week. An enlightened demo-
cracy should value day of spiritual
rest SO much that their hands would
be lifted up against any man or move
ment that desired to seculariZe the
Sunday London Chronicle.

The Work BAD.

Prettier and prettier grow the guest
towels, but not any could be daintler
than guest towel with three iris
blooms and their foliage, springing up
from the button-holed edge as though
they were growing there. The iris
blooms may be in colors, blue, laven-
der or yellow, or they may be in plain
white.
Have the foliage a very pale green,
SO that there will not be that repug-
rance which is always felt about wip-
ing ones hands upon dark colors.
The iris is particularly suitable for
towels, as one always thinks of them
as growing on the border of streams
Another pretty bathroom bios
som" is the water lily A border of
water lilies in white with green foliage
is very effective If the towel is full
sized instead of guest-sized, the lilies
can be embroidered In their natural
size.

BEST BAG is OF GREEN LINEN
Value Lies In the Fact That 1t May
Be Worn With Gown of Almost
Any Shade.

Always in summer we have a re-
yiyal of those coollocking handbags
that go so well with summer frocks.
Sometimes the bags are white, some
times of natural linen and occasional
" of another color. The prettiest OF
these other colors is green. A green
linen bag worked in self-tones is suit

green or other colors. Try to get

So it is with a new little belt that
can be had in the shops
1t is really only half belt, for the
back of the skirt or coat, to reach
from hip to hip.
1t is made in many combinations.
One that is very attractive is made
of gray suede, cut out to show three
or four pieces Of Japanese silk crepe
printed in blue and red. This little
belt costs S1.95, and is fitted with
three or four pockets on the Under
side SO that it can be easily fastened
to as many little balls sewed on the
skirt
Other belts are made of suede and
kid of different colors, some of them
with cut out designs over white kid,
some of them decorated with small
colored glass spikes or nailheads of
brass.
They would be especially nice, these
little belts, on the back of a colored
linen or duvetyn or other summer
skirt, and they could also be used to
very good effect on a summer jacket.

Linen Waists Popular.

According to the Dry Goods Econ
omist, for the first time in the last
three years linen waists have taken
prominent place.
The fabric is sheer and soft and
usually in bright colors, such as maize,
tangerine, rose and French blue,
, A pale shade of pink is featured to
some extent, and SO also is white.
The smartest of these semi-tailored
models have the starched, mannish col
lar in white, attached or detachable.
Fancy ties finish the fronts.

roast, and If that is not convenient
after serving roast for Sunday por-
ton may be warmed in the gravy with
the addition of jelly if it is mutton
or lamb, and tomato, worcestershire

mashed potatoes left over may be
made into potato patties and served

Most delicious meat balls or GRO
quotes may be prepared from roast
Of lamb with the addition OF chopped
parboiled green pepper.
Two carrots or two turnips well
cooked will be sufficient for two and
may be dressed in different ways. A
most appetizing dish is carrots with
lemon butter. Chop the carrots after
cooking and season with butter and
lemon juice with salt and a pinch of
sugar Serve hot and they are good.
Chops and steak may be used for
variety after the roast. A good steak
will serve several meals One may
have the tenderloin for one meal, the
tough portion for brown stew in casse-
role and the rest for chopped meat,

GirdIes of Flowers.

This is much garlanded and be-
Powered season. The makers of arti-
fetal flowers ought to be iourishing,
and they certainly deserve to flourish
for their delicate and dainty wares are
miracles of beauty and ingenuity. One
of the most popular conceits Of the mo-
ment is a girdle OF tiny flowers ending
in a little posy as it's fastening. 1t
is pretty fancy that is extremely ap-
propriate with the ethereal and fragile
materials that are being used for eve
ming dress. For debutantes frocks
these garlands and girdles and posies
have been the happiest OF decorations.

POPULAR "RUST" RED
COLOR MUCH IN FAVOR WITH
THE DEBUTANTE.
Chief Points Are That 1t Accords
With Any Natural Shade of Hair
and Goes With Almost Any
Costume.

Rust" newest Of reds, is the favor
lite shade in hats for the debutante as
it brings out the peachy tints OF her
complexion and enhances the bright
ness of her eyes. Moreover, rust ac-
cords with any natural shade of hair
even with the Titan tone-and goes
with almost any costume. OF course
the bud who need not consider cost,
orders her rust velvet toque in one of
the relieve br1m shapes, which only
an expert milliner can cover smoothly
and make look right and which are
most chic when decorated solely with
a single feathery aigrette in matching
shade. But unfortunately, plenty of
pretty girls-some of the very sweet
est of the sex to be introduced this
seaSon-have to economic and these,
avoiding the difficult toque, will make
their rust velvet hats in the Deslys
shape having crown of velvet, which
puffs widely above bowl-shaped brim
which, to be really smart, should be
banded with rust-dyed fox, but which
may have pelt band of any other
color, providing that the hair is long.
An almost smooth fur does not make
becoming brim band. Equally easy
for the bud to make for herself is
the Tam-o Shanter, wholly of rust vel
vet, having fiat round crown drawn
into straight band These stop just
short Of being rakish and are wonder
FULLY swagger on a petite girl, who
carries herself jauntily.
Then there is the N1niche, a phase
of the shutdown shape, which is mere
ly circular fiat crown-smoothly Gov
cred with velyet-mounted on a head
band or halo" The shovel or de-
pressed effect is obtained by forcing
the sides against the ears by means
of ribbon streamers that cross the
top Of the crown and tie at the nape
Of the neck or narrow into a bride
that hooks under the chin.
The debutante who must make her
own rust red hat, may have something
very smart indeed and, what Is most
essential, something very becoming, if
she will remember not to attempt to
copy any shape with stiff brim or
very sharply defined lines, and to
avoid trimmings. If she uses banG
of fur on the brim, she should omit
the aigrette or the feather fantasia !;
and If she has a strapped bow, other
garnishing is superfluous.

GIVE A DRESSY APPEARANCE
Splendidiy Effective Are the New
Belts That Are Shown Just Now
In Large Numbers.

A little accessory that can be bought
to add smart touch to homemade
or old frock is always welcome.
Perhaps that is one reason for the
popularity Of the neckwear of this
season and last. Frilling and ruch-
ings Of tulle and net and lace trans
formed many simple frocks and the
addition Of one of the new organdy
collars to staid serge dress takes
1t out Of the realm of dowdiness.
