Ruffles or fine point d'esprit lace or
net are easily mounted on such foun-
dalton, or alternate rows OF wide lace
with the net may be used.
With the quaint frocks Of taffeta are
parasols OF the same material trimmed
to match with puffings, narrow side
and box plaitings, ruchings and ruffles.
Finishes for rufiies are pinking, small
embroidered scallops and narrow bias
bindings of taffeta. Cut rufiies once
and half, fully allowing an eighth of
an inch on a scalloped edge If the
ruffles are to be velvet trimmed. Many
taffeta parasols are embroidered in
eyelet stitch in designs that are more
familiar on linens. There are transfer
patterns designed especially for para
soils, besides any number of others that
the clever woman can adapt to suit her
own taste.
Besides elaborate parasols Of lace,
chiffon and silk, there are linens, cotton
voiles, marquisettes and batstes vari-
ously trimmed with embroidery or eff
fective laces such as cluny. Irish. ma
crane and imitation venise. both band
ings and medallions being used.

are very dainty. Chiffons and marqui-

thicknesses of mousseline de sole OF

CARE OF THE
CHILD'S HAIR

ONE hears much regarding the caro-
Of children's eyes, teeth and hands,
but little about their hair. One should
start early, washing their heads just ~
carefully as their bodies.
Never rub soap on hair; II causes
sickness. Make soap Jelly for sham
poo purposes. 1t Is important TO rinse
until the water is clear and free from
any traces OF soap.
When a child's hair has grown any
length It should not be rubbed vigor-
ously with a towel, as that pulls and
breaks It. Wrap q Turkish towel
around the hair and squeeze out all the
moisture possible: then massage the
scalp gently with the finger tips.
Shake and fan the hair and lot the
child sit in a warm place. but not right
In front of artificial heat. To sit in the
sun while drying hair Is beneficial.
Pay strict attention to the back Of
the neck. There is where 1t must be
thoroughly dried to avoid taking cold.
When perfectly dry, brush but do not
comb to remove tangies, which will be
few when hair is treated this way A
fine comb is injurious. 1t irritates tho
scalp and breaks the hair. II hair is
well brushed no other tonic should be
necessary, as that is invigorating. Aft
er three years of age a shampoo every
two weeks is ample unless a child Ia
especially exposed to dirt and dust.
When the ends are uneven do not rely
upon your scissors to trim the hair. II

handkerchief so that they meet at the
center dot; then cut small semicircle

Little artificial fruits are used ex-
tensively this season. A certain RED

this charming summer costume.
The slippers are for the sandman
hour, when the tiny feet are fatigued
by the incessant activities of the day.
These bedroom slippers can be made at
home in the most dainty effects at
really very small cost. A pair of pink
satin tops can be sewed to insoles
which have first been lined with satin.
The uppers can have rosettes of ribbon
or may be adorned with little ribbon
flowers. Many combinations will pre-
