NEW PARASOLS ARE
OF PRETTY SHAPE
Fashions of the Moment Show Wide
Variety Of Fabncs-Maline
and Tulle in Vogue.

Striking but weIl-chosen details are the
most important points OF a costume; but
they must be well chosen" and therein
lies the stumbling block which often re-
duces a wonderfully designed original
model to the ludicrous point when copied.
Every season produces some one trim
ming factor which leads all others in
point OF adaptability. This season is no
exception TO the rule.
Thus far tulle, or maline. is the most
popular adjunct for gown beautifying.
Lingerie gowns for wear at winter re-
sorts OF Southern location are especially
chic when modelled with flounces of ef-
broidered lawn or with laces which arc
separated by wide, deeply nuted. pioot-
edged lounces Of colorcd maline.
And now maline and tulle are being
used for Sirdles. separate bows, scarfs,
hat trimmings, and for parasol making.
For hats, especially those which arc
made OF jet. tulle and maline have pro-
vided effective and very delicate hat trim
mings.
Later in the season maline rufTs and
muffs will come into fashionable prom
inence. made with gayly coIored ribbons
and oddly constructed flowers to distin-
suish them from those OF yesteryear.
The parasol is representative Of the
oddness maintained in parasol fashions.
