of each RIB, and still others have the

Very lovely are sunshades Of
old-fashioned chintz, such as might
have been used by the beauties of
pre-Revolutionary days. These make
charming garden parasols.
The French always make their
parasols tub shape, but we in Amer
lea do not like these shapes as we'll
as the larger English ones, because
they interfere with our headgear. A
tub-shaped parasol shown at the top
of this page is made of old blue
Georgette crepe over bright red tat
feta and is outlined with red roses.
Both Cloisonne and jade are used
for the handles of parasols. For the
country there are some charming
Japanese umbrellas that are very
short, much shorter than the diminu-
tive English rain or shine umbrellas
that we have been using. They are
almost like a miniature parasol that
may be tucked under the arm when
going out for a morning walk.

it is being used for our summer
clothes, and used with enchanting
effect. A new shade of brown, that
very soft and mellow brown tone
seen in the roots of trees, suggests
hitherto unthought Of color COM
binations. A tendency toward a
profuse use of this color appeared
first in the French hats that came
over this spring; many models from
the best Paris modistes we're in this
shade.
Now one sees on Fifth Avenue In
the morning shopping hours ever
SO many smart women wearing ac-
Gordon pleated skirts Of brown
checked or p1aided wooden, with
short coats Of navy blue serge.

Trains Are Whimsical
And Some Even Droll

THE evening gown have just de-
scribed does not enjoy the dis
tinction Of being the only one to
have a train. Some trains are whimsi-
cal. Some are even more droll. They
start in hitherto unheard Of ways,
but one thing they agree upon-all
are slender, very slender. These
queer ways Of springing from
gowns were forced upon trains.
With almost no decolletage to the
backs of evening dresses the trains
had to be versatile, they simply
couldn't pin themselves to white
shoulders.
Small wonder, then, that they
took to hiding their origin beneath
the skirts, as did one on a black
satin dinner dress. The back of this
/, skirt was plain and straight, and
the train sprang from beneath the
hem.

Tafeta Helps Achieve
The Desired Boufancy

FSAFFETA is a favorite material
for these gowns, because the stiff
ness' of the silk aids greatly in ac-
conplishing the desired bouffancy.
One black taffeta frock is corded in
an unusual way. The cords take the
form of half hoops, beginning at
the bottom Of the skirt and curving
upward toward the waist. This sill
houette aims to give an effect Of ex-
treme flatness both in the back and
front and puffiness at the sides.
IN the skirt Just described the
front is fiat solid cording, with the
tafgeta setting cut stifiy at either
side. The fat appearance in the
back is emphasized through the skirt
being drawn toward the front by
means Of the sfirrings. This skirt is
considerably longer In the back
than tn the front.

net footing. Now there is a return
to this charming old fashion and at
any Of the shops along Fifth Av-
enue may be seen these oldtime
dainty kerchiefs. Some are woven
from pure linen lustre yarn and
edged with net. Others have the
hens finished with two or three rows
of spoke stitching. Handspun linen
handkerchiefs have borders of real
Valenciennes lace which are woven
as part of the handkerchief instead
of being sewn on. These are very
lovely and cost about $3.50 each.
Sports handkerchiefs may be said
to be a bit lurid. Some of them
have dared to be made Of bright
plaid linens, green and blue plaid
being among the favorites. Other
sports handkerchiefs are in plain
bright colors with hand rolled hens
whipped in either white or black
threads, with blocked monograms
also in white or black.
Such simple thing as the choice
Of blouse can easily make or mar
the appearance of a suit. When
choosing a blouse one should take
particular care to see that it is be-
coming as we'll as appropriate to
wear with the suit. There is one
designed to make the collars of the
new coats which button high at the

The Mermaid Dress and
Even a Fishtail

+ WANT to tell you about one
other dress that Fifth Avenue
designer has Just made. It reminds
one Of a mermaid. The upper part
IS Of iridescent spangled silver
cloth that drapes loosely around
the body and low on the hips. It
CLEANS like shiny body that has
just come out Of the ocean into the
moonlight. The lower part Is black
satin, which is very tight aEound
the ankles and creeps away into a
little fishtail train that undulates
along behind one.
Even the realm Of parasols has
been invaded by new materials.
The same feeling for the use of
wintry fabrics in this summers
clothes that we have seen noted in
both hats and gowns is expressed in
parasols. Black velvet frequently Is
used for them; these are lined with
thin silks Of contrasting tone, blue
being the color most often used.

Shops and Things

M ETAL tissue has found it's way
A'A even into sweaters. In some
Of the newest ones silver threads are
entwined with the worsted. One
such sweater is jade green wool and
silver. It is knitted in an open
work dropstitch with band
knitted in plain stitch around the
bottom Of the sweater. The collar
and cuffs, too, are knitted Of the
green silk without the thread Of sill
yer. AS the mesh of this sweater
is very open, lining of China silk,
also in green, is added.
For this seasons sports hats fab
RIGS are considered smarter than
straw. There Is, however, straw
called caterpillar that frequently is
used, no doubt because it closely re-
, sembles fabric.
Black bonnaz embroidery in Moor
ish design ornaments a plain sailor
hat Of jade green Baronette satin.
The brim of this hat rolls upward
slightly and embroidery is placed on
J the underbrim we'll as on the
crown. Brown caterpillar straw
faces the brim of pink taffeta hat
and the brown straw is embroidered
in pink silk with loose looped
stitch.

creating this effect, which looks as
though accomplished by means Of a
crinoline or cage. One is by a
clever manipulation of drapery;
other times the bottom Of the tunio
is shirred to a heavy cord. There
IS always tunfc or overskirt cut
to flare at the bottom, where it is
brought in to tight, straight foun-
dation skirt, for fashion still insists
that skirts must be narrow at the
ankle, and no matter how volumi-
nous they are above, they must de-
crease to q mere band at the hem.
New-York tribune., 1919-05-11
Skirts That Are Both Narrow and Wide

THOSE who study styles closely
look upon the full overskirt
gathered In at the bottom as fore
runner Of wide skirts. The siIhou-
ette has followed the straight and
narrow way so long that unless
there Is a change fashions will be-
como stagnant and there win not be
sufficient stimulation to the art aud
industry of evolving new clothes to
keep it at it's best. Nor win we
enjoy the exhilaration that comes
from the wearing Of something en-
tirely new. The narrow silhouette,
as well as the wide, appears in cob
lecaons created by the same design
err, and this Is bound to fiji us with
uncertainty IN ordering our cos
tunes.
At the house Of Caliot In Paris
are shown dresses Of the Aaring
Camargo silhouette, their straight
bcfl skirts fairly bristling with frilla
cut SO that they stand out almost
stifiy, and in juxtaposition to these
there arc Cnllot gowns so slender IN
their lines that Crecian draperies
arc wide compared TO them. Many
women order both types Of focks,
but che who looks into this future
and buys her clothes to predate q

the wider skirt.

A Blouse Modelled
After a Child's Romper

FOR the young girl there is
blouse Of cross-barred dimity that
takes its inspiration from a childs
romper. The childish round neck
has the little romper collar and cuffs
finished with hand drawnwork
ruff1es.
French batiste, pale pink in color,
fashions another attractive blouse.
1t is finely tucked and hemstitched
throughout the body and has little
insets of the batiste and en-
broidery in old blue. The tucked
jabot and collar are in one and are
edged with Valenciennes lace.
One of the smartest of the hand
kerchief linen waists has a collar
which rolls sufficiently at the back to
fit successfully over the collars Of
tailored coats and sweaters. Its
tucked jabot and collar are embroi-
dered with blue mercerized cotton in
long and short sampler stitch.

think SO after seeing the narrow
band at the bottom of the skirt
to which the tunic is gathered, but
1t is quite wide enough to permit
the wearer to enjoy all the new
steps.
Little puffy bands formed by shir-
ring strips of the satin are placed
at the bottom of the skirt and
around the sleeves. A pretty color
effect is carried out in the way this
frock girdles itself with corbeau
blue tulle, which is twisted about
the waist and formed into a flower
at the side. The petals of this are
outlined with silver wire, which per-
mits them to be gracefully curled.
From the centre Of the blossom
springs a calyx Of silver threads,
each one knotted at the end.
This model has been effectively
copied in various colors for brides

Jade Green, Too. Has
Become a Fashion Favorite

AT sHERRY's one evening last
week a pretty dark-eyed girl
was wearing an evening gown Of
deep rose colored chiffon, girdled
with brown tulle that tied itself In
a frivolous puffy bow at the back
with the ends falling little below
the hem of the skirt. A large fan
of brown ostrich feathers completed
a striking and beautiful color COM
bination. Often brown is combined
with jade green. The latter color
also became fashion favorite
through the spring millinery in
Paris. 1t is much used for evening
clothes and vies with hyacinth blue
for popularity in the evening.

OUTLOOK DUBIOUS FOR AUTO

by Heavy Trucks.

With the shortage Of labor for road
making and the more general use of
the roads for heavy hauling, it is like
ly that the roads as they exist will
not be able to withstand the hard
usage, and the outlook Is dubious for
the automobile. Many industrial COM
panies are making use of fleets Of
trucks to deliver their goods, instead
Of subjecting themselves TO che uncer-
tainties of the railroad service and
the wear and tear on the roads thus
made use Of is more than they can
take care of. This, more than ever,
makes it evident that there should be
some very decided reforms made in
the matter Of road building. The
makeshift repairs which have hereto
fore been made are not now sufficient,
and all new road building work should
be made on the most substantial lines.
