Out of turmoil of shapes and a riot of color few parasols have emerged from among many novelties to become favorites for this season. The Chin Chin is one of them and the "Pagoda" another, both patterned after models which have been introduced to us by fair Japan or old China. But none of these novelties holds first place in point of numbers. The majority of women buy the usual shape with which everyone is familiar and de pend for novelty on the colors or the border used or new ways of ad- justing the covering to the frame.
 A convenient parasol for those who are to travel is made with detach. able handle. By clever little con trlvance the lower part of the handle may be made to slip out of the upper part. This allows the parasol to be packed in any trunk.
 Parasols in all white, in white and black, and those showing rich Persian designs in many colors applied to white or ecru grounds are liked for all-round wear Emerald green. and pongee ill the natural color combined with green, are always in fashion. Handsome white lace coverings over taffeta silk makes an elegant sun shade that one may wear with assur- ance on high occasions every season.
 Black and white checks and black and white stripes mounted with plain hla olx A, 1o. green have been used to make many smart patterns. Plain parasols lined with silk in a bold checkerboard pat

Arguments on and submission of the Sawyer Racing bill, the pivot of im- portant legislation in the 1915 legis- lature, and the bill upon which the governors action caused long and bitter controversy, were made in the Supreme Court, when the suit of the Arkansas State Fair Association against Earle W. Hodges, secretary Of state, was taken up. There will be a Supreme Court decision on the suit before court adjourns for summer ya- cation. James P. Clarke, United States senator, argued the bill for the fair association. T. M. Mehaffy ap- peared for the State
 The arguments were the same vir- tually as made when the case was tried before Judge Guy Fulk In the Pulaski Circuit Court
 Suit to compel the secretary of state to include the act with others passed by the legislature and ap- proved by the governor when the acts were advertised, was the action as in- stigated in the lower court. The fair association lost in the lower court and, few weeks ago, the case was appealed.

Sport hats made of fabrics have been developed this season to an im- Eortant place in the well-defined class to which they belong. The regulation sport hat has become an important part of our specialized millinery and will grow more and not less popular, as women are becoming more and not less identified with outdoor life and outdoor sports
 These plain, well-made, well-fitting and snappy items in the headwear of the modern woman, are made of straw braids or body hats, but have proved so successful when made of fabrics that the fabric hat claims special at- tention. A group of three of them is pictured here in which one hat is made of taffeta silk, one of checked cotton goods, in heavy weave, and one in mercerized poplin which is made of cotton but has the appear ance of silk.
 The first hat is of bright green taf- feta. The brim is stiffened by an in- terlining of crinoline and many rows of machine stitching. The top crown is a scant puff, and the side crown is a wide band crinoline covered with the silk. A wide bow of the taffeta posed at the front provides the trini- ming. The brim may be turned up or down, and the hat fits the head like cap. It is lined with white silk.
 The second hat may be made of pongee in the natural color, and green taffeta silk. The silk is used for the brim facing and for piping the seams. But the hat as shown in the picture

tern in black and white, the checks amost two inches square, are attrac- tive but an extreme development of the mode.
 A pagoda parasol is shown in the picture given here, made of black silk with border in black-and-white stripes and handle in all-black wood The ribs are deeply curved. It is almost the opposite In shape to the white "Chin-Chfn" parasol with straight ribs covered with chiffon. Strips of white embroidered chiffon cover each line made by the ribs, showing through on the upper side. The strips end in points. They overlap at the top. mak ing the thin and fragile cover trifie more practical
 In selecting parasol for real serv- ice in hot weather it is not to be for gotten that black concentrates the heat and looks warm, too.

Of EIowered Tapestry.

Cushions having the appearance of durability and elegance are made Of lowered tapestry. The design should
 be small and artistic, in good colors that blend nicely with the background. Good cloth, lowered in pastel prints, is suitable for handsome room, but such pieces as olive, cardinal, blue and green, with small flowers, are best for general use. Sofa cushions made of burlap and embroidered with raffia are quaint, serviceable and inexpensive. for there is quite difference between the cost of raffia and embroidery silk.
