Sunshades for the summer of 1915
run all the way from the small, frilly
"dansant'' and carriage parasOls to
the chic, tailored silk umbrella with
long ferrule and handle as plain or
as fancy as taste may dictate. Be
tween the tiny sunshade and the mod
ish umbrella there are many novelties.
The vogue for wildly cOlOred and
striking contrasts in sports garments
has helped along the movement for
parasOls that are loud" and the pic
turesque Spanish, Dolly Warden and
Vatican frOcks have created de-
mand for accompanying sunshades
that will harmonize. A sunshade or
umbrella is invariably carried by every
French woman out Of doors, and the
habit is gro~"ng In America.

keeping exact step with the costume

ParasOls trimmed in fringe and para
soils made entirely of ribbon are also
seen.
The severely plain parasOl, having
an English club ferrule, with hand
sewed leather handle matching in
color the silk of the parasol, is a ia
vOrite. 1t is usually equipped with
a leather Keeper" to slip over the

number Of rose shades.

The little bib in the sketch is easily

A little pad Of white flannel should be

A set of these simple bibs would be
an ideal present for baby, and certain

FLOWERS FOR THE TABLE
Pre9er Arrangement Adds Much to
Their Appearance and the Enjoy
ment They Can Afford.

The garden flowers are so beautiful
that 1t Is almost impossible to arrange
them In any but a charming fashion.
Still, we sometimes either don't take
the time or don't know how to arrange
them to the best advantage.
The young japanese girl sometimes
spends three hours arranging a single
bouquet. We, of course. with our occi-
dental necessity to hurry, would usual
ly have much better results in arrang-
ing flowers IL We would take time to
do the work carefully.
We cannot. most Of US, especially II
we are full grown. take lessons In
floral arrangement. Such lessons are
taught at some of the boarding schools
and girls camps. But we older persons
must do the best we can to teach our
selves.
To begin with. we should study the
habits and colors Of the flowers. And
we should try to arrange them In some
what the same way that they grow In

Mirapolis awoke to q full sense of
its opportunities on the morning fol
lowing the departure of it's distin-
guished guests. By ten o'clock it was
the talk of the Hobbies, the club and
the exchanges that the reclamation
service was already abandoning the
work on the great dam. One-half Of
the workmen were to be discharged at
once. and doubtless the other half
would follow as soon as the orders
could come from Washington.
Appealed to by mob of anxious in
quirers. Brouillard did not deny the
fact Of the discharges. and thereupon
the city went mad in a Juror of specu-
lative excitement in comparison with
which the orgy of the gold discov-
erers paled into insignificance. Curb"
exchanges sprang into being in the
Metropole lobby. in the court of the
Niquoia building. and at a dozen street
corners on the avenue. Word went to
the placers. and by noon the miners
had left their sluice-boxes and were
pouring into town to buy options at
prices that would have staggered the
widest plunger otherwhere. or at any
other time
Brouillard closed his desk at one
o'clock and went to fight his way
through the street pandemonium to
Bongras'. At table in the rear room
he found David Massingale. his long,
white beard tucked into the closely
buttoned miners coat to be out of the
way of the flying knife and fork. while
he gave lifelike imitation of a man
begrudging every second of time
wasted in stopping the hunger gap.
BrOuillard took the opposite chair
and was grimly amused at the length
of time that elapsed before Massingale
realized his presence.
PITY a man has to stop to eat on a
day like this. isn't it. Mr.. Massingale?"
