cessful in the case of a black tulle model, half covered by little frills, each frill edged by tiny quilling of gay ribbon.
 Powered silks are used for covers, but seldom alone, except where the silk is woven especially for the cover, with stunning lowered design massed around the top and part of the cover in plain color
 Panels of beautiful lowered ribbon set together with black, the lines run ming from top to edge, form the covers of some gayly attractive parasols, and one sees pretty covers of handsome lowered silk with deep borders of large check in black and white or in white, with the color most prominent in the floral design.
 Powered silk with frills of white is another of the lowered arrangements, and of course there are the parasols plainly covered in quaint little sprigged designs, such as we have had for sev- eral seasons past.

With 8 beautiful summer frock of black and white embroidered voile set off by georgette crape frills and nlaited bodice goes a fetching taffeta parasol in white with black pola dots. This contrast is reversed in the parasol of black and white wide stripes. The suspender frock and white organdie bodice are natty picked out with two widths of black velvet ribbon.
 Another parasol that almost walks off with the suit is of wistaria silk, across which fly three white sparrows. Two of these birds perch on the brim of the wide sailor, which is made of wistaria taffeta like the costume, so smart with it's fringe trimming.
 The beautiful parasol of ivory han dle and tucked sections is fashioned of two fabrics, a grass green silk and black and white stripe, which gives a serviceable binding. For less dressy accessories is pongee in natural tones with gayly colored butterflies hutter- ing across its ribs.

THE CHARM OF COURTESY,

WHY don't all women learn that it im
 quite possible to combine affabil- ity with dignity? In daily intercourse with fellow beings it would make this old world much more agreeable place to live in if women were more consid- erate,- especially of each other. Some women dare not converse with their' maids for fear they might lower them selves in their own estimation nor will they be civil to a clerk in & store for fear they might be expected to rec ognize them outside. Thank heaven well bred, intelligent women have no such fears, for such sentiment is snob6 bery pure and simple.
 There are women, and their tribe is increasing daily, who realize all the beautiful opportunities they have to help other women--all that position wealth and the freedom of speech Riva them. Such women talk freely with domestics and thus cement their affec. tionate respect.
 It is noticeable that such women never leave a kitchen, market or shop that every other creature of their <ind present does not acknowledge to ssSem- selves the charm of a gracious mannS~

 Strain the juice from the can of pineapple and chop the slices of fruit into neat dice. Boil the sugar and wa ter for twenty minutes, then add the sirup to the lemon, orange and pine the cubes of pineapple. When quite (eold and ready to serve add carbon lated water to taste and if liked deco |rate with few maraschino cherries.

 Another ribbon run model is suggest i've of a fan. It is plaited in fan fash ion, and a ribbon is laced through the plaits, lying flat and smooth when the parasol is open, but used in drawstring fashion to shirr the parasol closely when it is closed.
 Square parasols we have had before, and we have them again; also square shapes over which round covers are laid, only the points of the square and a narrow rim left showing.
 The tulle and chiffon sunshades are even more incorrigibly frilly than those of silk, sometimes having the cover en- tirely hidden under narrow frills, and very good effects are often secured by edging narrow tulle frills in very mar row ribbon. This is particularly suc-

 Less bizarre are the parasols of Jap anese shape, plain on the outside, but decorated on the lining. A flight of birds is the design most commonly painted, and butterflies are also favor ed by the designers. The same idea is applied to some parasOls not quite so flat in shape, and one sees also similar effects obtained by applying cutout birds or butterflies of gay color to the silk surfaces.
 There are flat parasols, painted on the outside instead of on the lining. and, though this idea is not new, the manner of decoration is new, running to the same brilliant colored sprawling designs that are used upon the wide brimmed sports hats

Entertainment of Rare Merit

A large and appreciative Audience
gathered to hear the entertainment,
"The Cotter's Saturday Night, given
by the Scotch Musical Comedy Company
at town hall last Thursday evening and
it is safe to say that no one regretted his
presence. The program was one of the
most enjoyable presented here in many
years, and the walls rang with merri-
ment and applause as the actors made
their jests and sang their songs. Each
member OF the company was soloist of
marked ability, and the ensemble work
was excellent, while the staging and CO.'S
tuning was such as to take one straight
back to the peasants cottage of the
eighteenth century.
The poem which furnished the basis of
the entertainment is supposed to have
been intended by Burns to depict a scene
of his own youth, and from the moment
that the curtain rose upon the humble
living room with Margaret, the farmers
wife, singing at her knitting, until the
last "Gude nicht" ad been SAID. the au-
dience was transported to the land of
Bonnie Prince Charlie, where "a Mans

should be given to the rendering OF AN
