"LEST THEY PERISH"
Only Prompt Giving Can Save the
Lives Of Four Million Starving
Christians.

The Armenians, Syrians and Greeks
who have been bearing the brunt Of
the Turkish atrocities, and OF whom
there are now 1900. 900 starving as a
result, were the producing classes.
1t is these people that will be helped
by the $780, 00, 900 Armenian and Syr-
ian Relief Campaign, February $40.
II they receive this help, they can
get on their feet and become self-sus-
tanning. The League of Nations will
see to it that Turkey has no power
to continue its horrible tactics. But
this help must be immediate, else the
people will perish. They cannot wait
to share in the 500, 900, 900 fund that
President Wilson has asked Congress
to appropriate.

The New ParasOls Have

By MARGARET ROHE

Twas at the beach, she was a peach,
We had mild filtration;
She raised her parasol, her eyes,
My hopes, all with elation.
But soon she closed her parasol,
l sighed, with CONSERVATION,
Twas quite a blow, for then, also,
She closed the conversation.

NEW YORK, April 12.-It hasn't
quite come to rings in the tip of our
noses, but at least we will wear 'em
in the tips of our ferrules this sum-
mer. All of the smartest, newest
parasols which we will raise against
the suns rays have these handy rings,
so that they will slip over the wrist
when the parasol isn't in action and
dangle along with the omnipresent
bag.
Of course last season the paraso!s
also sported these rings, but then
they were attached to the handles.
This season, just by way Of variety,
they have done f1ip-f1op to the other
extreme and, fastened to the tip,
they upset all precedent and all para
soils by causing them to hang upside
down when in repose.
To raise parasol this summer will
be the next best thing to raising a
riot-that is, of course, riot of col
or-for never before have they SEEM
ed so gay, and festive. Gorgeous
plaids and figured silks vie with plain
colors Of most hectic hues. The fiat
Chinese shapes are most in favor.
Some are just one tiny ruffie after
another and some are bordered deep
ly with silken fringe. One bright
green affair has embroidered designs
of bright hued wool with yarn fringe
Of all the assorted shades. On the
new chiffon models, fringe of the
popular ostrich feather fiux palpitate
pulchritudenously.
A revival of hand painted parasols
promises great success and new note
has been added by introducing the
popular metallic touch. A stunning
fiat back parasol shows sprawling
vine design done in gold paint and a
midnight blue is silver leaved. Gay
plumaged birds and iridescent but
terflies fly their painted beauty
across the ivory ribbed sectors of
shimmering silk, and painted bios
SONS bloom there unwithered by the
scorching sun.
Broad black and white stripes rad
late s1nartly from many an ivory
ringed ferrule tip and yet on others
stripes run madly round and round
in dizzy circles.
Quaint parasols of calico and Eng
lish print are made especially, match
ing up adorable old-time dresses of
the same materials. There are gay
cretonne and figured linen parasols
that belong to this non-silky set and
a parasol made from one of those
printed Indian bedspreads that you
find in every well regulated Bohem-
ian studio and every American ped
dler's pack raises the newest and
most striking note in parasoldom up
to date.
Those old-time allover Spanish and
Chantilly lace parasols are coming
back too. You know the kind that
grandma carried when she was just
a young and fiighty creature. Mount
ed over shimmering satin, they are
just the things to wear with our
floating silken scarves and book mus
lin frocks and tiny bonnets.
Of course the stout, stocky, SUBJ
stantial and always smart little hy-
brid dual element defiers, the bright
taffeta umbrella parasols that turn
equally fast and impervious colors
to the sun and rain, are still found
in the best hands and umbrella
stands. It is the fluffily feminine and
extravagantly impractical charms of
the cobwebby lace ones, the "ruffedy"
silk ones and the hand painted chiffon
ones, however, that the majority of
fair fen1inines are hosting this sum-
mer to keep off the heavenly golden
sun and lure on some golden earthly

haps, the first introduction of that
character Of legislation in congress.
It was nearly thirty years ago, when
the fourth congressional district of
Boston was represented by Mr.. Joseph
HI. O'Neil, who succeeded the late
Patrick Collins of Boston. It was per
haps at the session of 1902 that Mr..
O'Neil introduced his bill which pro-
.vided for turning the clocks ahead
fifteen minutes on each Of the four
Sundays in April, until the full hour
had been reached, and reversing the
hands back again fifteen minutes each
Sunday In September until the sun
time had been restored. This scheme
to conserve more daylight at the end
Of the working day received scarcely
any consideration from the lawmakers
at that time, so Mr.. O'Neil's PROPOSE
ton was pigeOnholed, but it seems that
his conception of the division Of the
working hours in the spring and sum-
mer months possessed the elements Of
merit, for 1t went marching on and
was finally enacted into law nearly
thirty years after its first introduction.
