out of his chair.
He had destined his son for his own

folly, and at last there had been a
scene at the end of which the doctor
ordered his son from his presence,
never to enter it again. Harold had
complied-twelve years ago.

TAM UGH ingenuity is evident in the
4V4 shaping and covering of new par
asols. The skill of the manufacturer
must be equal to making up the most
9anciful dreams of those who originate
sunshades that look like big, brightly
colored flowers, with their cups in
yerted. They have seized upon the
Persian designs in silks, upon the
broad stripes and checks, and appro-
priated bold.hgured 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
bowlshaped. It's first covering is of
white silk. Posed over this is vague
ly fiowered 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 undercovering.
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
ruffies. One of these is mounted over
each rib, their upper points disappear

Plain white parasols with borders of

They are not expensive, ranking in
price with those made of broad stripes.

NXT ITHOUT any claim to originality
w to aid them these two bou-
doir caps unblushingly call attention
to themselves as noteworthy. They
are examples of what the news laces

attractiveness and grace If these
Iaces and nets were less supple, they
would not fall in such soft ruffles, and
if they were too sheer they would not

crown of all-over lace and frill of

When sleeping, the head should al

retain it's beauty and luster much
longer. Brush the hair thoroughly,
then raise it nearly to the crown of
