Good Description.

Wife--It was a nice party, you say.
John. I'm sorry I couldn't 60, but am
really glad that you enjoyed yourself.
How was Mrs. Gadabout dressed?
Husband-Well, she had on one Of
those dresses Of what-you.call-it stuff,
Of a kind of a mixed shade and
trimmed with what's-his-names. /
don't remember now whether it was
cut low or not, or whether 1t had
sleeves. but / know 1t had n or the
other. Her hair was done up the
style like you see in the pictures
you know what I mean. I don't know
whether she had any ornaments or
not, but / expect she had. That's about
all, / think, that / noticed about her,
but you can easily tell from that how
she looked.

returned to the little old town, II can

81 dunno why you should feel that
way about it." replied the old inhabi-
tant, there's been a lot Of changes.
The Baptist church has been tore
down and rebuilt since you went
away; there's Lem Richardson's
garage where the post Office vas when
you lived here; we've got three movin'

For those who prefer the chantilly

sue paper.
The second picture shows very
clearly n Of the fashionable wells
which n may purchase by the yard
or in the single veil lengths. There
is an endless variety in patterns for
wells of this kind, innumerable fancy
weaves In mesh and border. They are
to be selected for their becomingness,
as other things are. Some meshes are
more becoming to certain compilations
than others.
This veil is soft, very light, moves
with every breath Of wind and scorns
the very thought Of crispness.
Wells are shown in black. in white,
and occasionally In mixtures Of the
two. But the black veil can hardly be
said to have q rival in popularity.
However, the story Of midsummer
may be as different as white is from
black. The pure white veil has q
charm for midsummer wear ~unequaled
by any other.

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 silk parasols are deco
rated with Powered Dresden ribbons
put on in a number of different ways.
Strips Of 1t are applied to the silk
lengthwise and trimmed off 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 a separate cover may
be made Of light weight figured rib
bon and placed owe 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 ruf1e 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 u~nnoticeable. 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 a rufle, 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 a greater length Of radius
than the length of the rib in the
Mansfield mirror. (Mansfield, Wright County, Mo.) 1908-1957, 1914-05-21

parasol are cut out and from their
centers small circles are cut. When
a gathering thread is run in about
the edge Of the small inner circle it
Is drawn up about the apex of the
parasol and fastened there. Then the
fullness is disposed evenly and the
chiffon spread over the parasol.
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 W 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 W 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 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 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 its
over. The example shown here is
typical of the manner In which the
plain parasol bedecks its plainness
with ribbon inery.
