 Then there are taffeta parasols remi- niscent of nothing so much as flower garden. The one in the illustration is a comparatively simple one in black and white. but the ones I saw in the shops were extremely vivid in coloring and lovely of material One in particu- lar was of bright green silk. with a wreath about the edge of vivid red roses and green leaves in printed silk The long handle was of green enamel tied with heavy red silk cord and tassel. As note of color for an other wise somber costume this parasol would be wonderfully effective.
 Then there was a stunning parasoi of Roman stripes suitable for wear with a linen or taffeta suit Of one color. with possibly a belt of the same Ro- man stripes to carry out the scheme.

THE FASHIONABLE BODICE.

THE fashionable transparent effect is
 not confined to evening gowns. Many of the new afternoon froclzs show bodices of lace or net over tulle or chiffon foundations in flesh color. Usually a sleeveless tunic or bo1ero of the skirt material rises over such a bodice. and the style is not only soft and pretty but attractiyely cool for summer days. Of course no street cos- tune worn by a well bred woman is really transparent over shoulder and arms. but the effect is suggested by the use of lace or net over two layers Of tinted chiffon. It is the unusual frock this season that has not a big sash bow posed either at the front or back of the waist line, the bigger bows be- ing used at the back.

Wall Street Market

NEW YORK, July SO.-Another flood
of liquidation swept over today's stock
market. Declines ran from five to eleven
points in such speculative issues as
Reading and Lehigh Valley, Anal
gamated Copper and the Hill and Harri-
man shares, while numerous industrials
and specialues were proportionately af-
fected. Apprehension here was heightened
by numerous new gold exports, which
helped to swell the already enormously
large total. Foreign exchange was again
demoralized and definite quotations We're
almost unobtainable. but the fact that
hany Of today's engagements were in
small amounts was accepted as further
proof Of the urgent demand for gold
abroad.
Stocks recovered one to three points
around the last hour, but the undertone
lost none of its weakness.
The market was thrown into a state of
convulsion in the final hour on announce
ment that Germany had served an ulti-
matum on Russia. Declines IN speculative

Most Anti-Fat
Cures Worthless,
Says Department

WASHINGTON, July 3O.-Beware OF So
called anti-fat cures" that is the warn
ing of the Department of Agriculture
today in response TO numerous inquiries
relative to specific remedies.
As a result of tests to determine tho
efficacy OF a number OF alleged mos
trums," the department asserts that
practically all such preparations are
worthless. 'Tn the knowledge OF all drug
specialists at the present time" It is de-
clared, there is no preparation that can
be depended on to reduce flesh in any
marked degree without doing injury"
Specialists of the department declare
that the only ways they know Of safely
to reduce flesh are rigid dieting and
strenuous exercise. and those. TO be ef-
fectlve. must be continued over a long
period OF time.
Letters urging prevention OF the sale
of the preparations in interstate COM
merce under the food and drugs act have
been received, but the department de-
clares that is practically impossible, "for
the reason that the claims on the pack
ages are purposely so guarded as to evade
action" Tho only thing It can do, the
department concludes. is to warn the peo-
pie against the use OF such preparations.
