 The edge of the chiffon covering is usually hemstitched. The effect tf very pretty when the covering is a little larger than the parasol and the chiffon hem falls below or beyond the silk edge.
 Marrow ribbons applied row on row many of the smart parasols for mid. summer. Given 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 portab3e pagoda for her own use.
 Smart parasols for the street are made of checks trimmed with borders Cf plain ribbon. Black and white shepherds plaid, as an instance. looks we'll with a 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 liking also for rosettes of ribbon and chiffon arranged about the handle of the parasol. These re peat the idea in the decoration of its cover. The example shown here is typical of the manner in which the plain parasol bedecks it's plainness with ribbon flnery.

A few minutes later the boats were gone, leaving a mass of floating debris and dead men.
 The Count von Werdenstein looked at the scene helplessly. For the first time in his life he realized how puny he was.
 He looked for the eagle, but it had disappeared.
 Boats were put out at once to res cue those who had not been killed by the explosions; but the experiences of that day had spread terror over the whole fleet and the effect was demor. alizing.
 The Count von Werdenstein ordered all the commanders to gather at the flagship, for he felt that he had to de eide on some action. He paced the bridge of the Brigitta. The navy and army under his command. that he had thought great enough to conquer the whole world, had been defeated by 8 single man.
 When the council of war began the count stood to talk, but before he said word a message from one of the transport boats was handed him. Ii read:
 We can see the other boats toward the east, but we cannot communicate with them. They are trying to reach us, but can make no progress. Please send orders"

ANCIENTs KNEW OF GLAZING
Proof That Early Inhabitants of Mex leo Used Process In the Manu-
 facture of Pottery.

The discovery by Henry C. Mercer of Daylestown. Pa, that the ancient inhabitants of Mexico used glazing process in the manufacture of their pottery has revolut1onized the views of ceramic experts at the University of Pennsylvania, and may lead, says American Art News, to the discovery of beds of clay suitable for use today.
 MT. Mercer, who is an expert on ttl- ing and a former curator of the Uni- versity museum. during recent study of Mexican potteries at the museum. had his attention called to the vari- ance in workmanship in certain col- lections. He promptly classified the potteries as possessing two different kinds of clay, and was surprised to find that distinct glaze was still apparent
 The ancient Egyptians, says Mr. Mercer. did not glaze their works. the Chinese adopting this precaution at later date to make their vessels fm- pervious to water. Civilization had been established by this time, how ever, and the use of the glazing art by prehistoric Medcans may unfold interesting ceramics.

CHAPTER x.-contInued.

The eagle fingered above the right wing of the first line of dreadnoughts. Napoleon could infiict any damage he chose. He could almost count the number of men aboard each vessel. Werdenstein gave hurried orders, and watched eagerly for their execution.
 A few minutes later two armored monoplanes glided up from the flag. ship and turned toward the eagle.
 Napoleon must have suspected their. intention, for he circled higher and higher up. The bats followed the eagle; each monoplane carried four men, each of whom carried small cali Der, mitrelious bombs and other ann munition of war
 Still the eagle went higher and higher, lowering above the north wing of the long line of war boats. It was so high now that it appeared only a speck to the naked eye. The planes ascended in g spiral, and they were far behind. The eagle turned and led the two planessalong the line, near the flagship. It -.descended quickly and made a dip similar. to. the swoop of the eagle on It's prey that caused the thousands of spectators to believe it was falling, but. before it touched the water it darted forward and skinned the waves, it's great wings touching the water occasionally.
 Napoleon watched the enemies who were now above him. One had dropped several bombs, but none. had, touched the swiftly moving aerodromone A turn of the wheel caused the eagle to make a circle before the Brigitta; then it went higher and higher until 1t reached the two monop1anes. Before Napoleon knew what they were about the two planes had opened fire; he was so close to them that the bullets fell on his aerodromone like hail The result was surprising. The deadly mis sfles rebounded from the sides without leaving a mark on the glittering body
 Napoleon ad'cleverly led them di rectly in front of the flagship, 80 that the scene was enacted before the eyes of the count and his staff. It was mar >vslous, the greatest play mans eyei had ever rested upon.
