OLD STYLES IN PARAS0LS
Quaint Fashions of Many Years Ago
Seem to Have Returned Again
to Favor.

The quaint styles Of parasols used
Shirrings, puffings, pipings, cordings
and -plaitings are used in vari-
ETY. of ways, to emphasize ribs, to out
line cores and to form borders. Many
odd shapes and rich color combina-
lions are seen. Plain, severe styles,
the most prominent being the sand
tones, are seen only with tailored
dresses. There is tendency to COM
bine materials. In dressy, fancy mod
els, the sand tones are combined with
bright colors. For instance, in one
model of brilliant red there is bor-
der and a piping between the shirred
cores, in a rich sand color verging on
gold.
A smart parasol developed in con-
trasting colors has a row Of shirring
between the cores, producing a leaf
like effect. A very pretty parasol has
a border of sheer crepe in a contrast
ing color, Topped in each section and
caught with fiat button effect. Bat
tleship gray is favorite color, being
used alone in tailored designs, and in
combination with the new reds and
blues in elaborate designs.
Many striking shapes are seen.
Among these is one with wide cores
of richly colored material and narrow
portions in stripes or checks. A clus-
ter of shirring appears at the edge.
OF special interest is the return Of
fiat Japanese and Chinese effects, both
plain and richly embroidered. Japanese
prints are in both silk and cotton.
Many Japanese designs have dark bor-
ders, with here and there delicate
bit Of hand embroidery in gold. Some
times odd-looking velvet birds in or
ange and blue tones are appliqued
over the inside surface of the parasol.
