An UGH ingenuity is evident in the
Wk shaping and covering Of new par
asols. The skill of the manufacturer
must be equal to making up the most
fanciful dreams of those who originate
sunshades that look like big, brightly
colored flowers, with their cups in
verted. They have seized upon the
Persian designs in silks, upon the
broad stripes and checks, and appro-
priated bold-fgured laces to make the
most intricate and the most captivat-
ing things!
One of the simpler designs is shown
in the picture. 1t is rather large and
bowishaped. Its first covering is of
white silk. Posed over this is a vague
ly Powered overcovering finished with
a scallop at the edge in each panel
of the parasol. The scallops terminate
in a small ornament which, with a
portion of the edge, hang free from
the u~ndercovering.
A pretty parasol, smaller In size and
not SO deeply curved, is covered with
white taffeta. Long diamond-shaped
panels Of Persian silk in bright colors,
with red dominant among them, are
shirred SO that their edges are narrow
%rufies. One of these is mounted over
each rib, their upper points disappear
ing under the tip at the top. The low
er point reaches within about five
inches Of the edge of the white taffeta
covering. This Is a gay and rich-look'
ing little affair, suited to almost any
light summer costume.
Plain white parasols with borders o.
black and white "checkerboard'
silks are novel and immensely smart
They are not expensive, ranking II
price with those made of broad stripes
Among the latter a black and white
striped covering has a border of bright
Persian silk at the edge, about ST,
