S though the parasol were not
a gay and coquettish enough
thing in itself, Fashion has
y dressed it up this year in a
sash - adding considerable extra
gaiety and ~coquetry. Not all the new
parasols have sashes. but some OF
them have-the parasols intended for
use with dainty, summary frocks
away from city streets.
There are not many plain, tailored
looking parasols, this year. however.
The tendency is toward trimmed eff
fects and sometimes instead of a sash,
a sunshade has fluttery frills, Of hand
embroideries. or ever flowers made or
kid and appliqued to the silk. Blue
birds are a favorite parasol ornamen-
tation and these charming symbols Of
happiness fit across many a summer
parasol. Though the birds are always
blue in color, their background may
be any shade at all-white, or pale
mauve, or corncolor or even a deeper
tone. Butterflies too fit across the
summer parasols and some Of them
are gorgeous affairs embroidered with
bright-hued silks and woods. A very
handsome parasol Of g%ray-green silk
has butterflies done in iridescent
beads and there is a bead fringe all
around the edge.
One Of the parasols illustrated has
embroidered wool butterflies. Their
black, orange and copper wings har-
monize with the background of
orange silk and this strip Is set be-
tween strips of blsque silk. The par
asol handle is Of pale tan enameled
wood with a tip Of carved amber.
The sash-decorated parasol is all in
one shade, a rich blue. and the tas-
sells match the shade of sash and
~parasol. This is pictured with the
sort of costume It Is intended to ac-
COMPANY midsummer frock worn
with a picture hat. The frock is Of
blue Georgette printed in white and
has accordion pleated ruffles all the
way up the skirt, and narrower rufles
turning back from neck and sleeves
a charming style Of this season. With
this airy frock and the hat Of gray
chiffon and ostrich, the deep blue
parasol with its graceful sash accords
well.

shades of the year Is the one Of rose

Not all the originality goes into silk
covers; handles of the new parasols
have their share. Most of the handles
are of brilliantly polished wood and
there is usually a tip of colored
p%yroxylin, amber or real ivory. Some
times a cabuchon of jade colored
composition tips the handle, and the
ferrule end is rarely forgotten; almost
always it carries a small tip match
ing the tip on the handle. A very en-
elusive parasol of marine blue silk
with groups of tpcks and a narrow
pleated ruffie at the edge. has a handle
of blue polished wood tipped with
genuine carved ivory, and the ribs
have knobs of carved ivory.
Rain or shine umbrellas with COW
ers of bright colored silk have taken
the place of the old-style Coaching
parasol. A woman does not need a
plain, tailored parasol for use with
tailored costumes. when she owns one

about the sleeve trimmed with a ruffle
that is irresistible. One of the pref
tiest summer frocks of the season is
Of old blue dotted swiss with the dots
in white. Pleated rufles trim the
tunic and the elbow sleeve, and the
sash is of white MORE silk. A brown
dotted swiss with white dots has
rufies of pleated cream net around
the square neck and on the elbow
sleeves. The neckwear counters show
yards and yards of dainty pleatings
of the sort. and it should be a simple
matter, this summer, to look fresh
and dainty in ones simple wolfe or
dotted swiss frock, for enough pleat-
ing Of various sorts can be bought be-
fore going away. to keep one fresh
ened up all through the season. 1t
does not pay to have these fragile net
pleatings Numbered. They are not
expensive to buy and most women
prefer to put in fresh pleatings when
a frock comes from the ~laundress'
hands.

Common Sense In Heels

No dainty dress-up costume looks
just right above flat-heeled boots. But
for general walking, shopping and
r%un-about wear the American woman
Is wearing q low. broad heel; and the
shoe dealers have changed their
minds. Even with Louis heels the ef-
feet is felt, say the shoe dealers, and
the standard Louis heel is now two
inches high where 1t used to be two
and three-eighths inches. 1t has a
broader base too. and is easier to walk
and stand on. The baby Louis" heel
which was introduced last summer is
not really a pretty heel and Is not
becoming to the foot. If one is going
to wear French heels at all they
might better be in full height.
Spanish or military heels are seer
on many of the new summer pumps
and walking boots. and the smart but
toned boots which are ultra correct
with tailored costumes have military
or French heels as the wearer pre-
fers.

rounded and fair but the upper arm
may be freckled from past summers
on the beach. (Some of these sand
freckles never come out.) Or the
arm may be well shaped but have a
red and ugly elbow. Or the whole
arm may be too fat, or too thin, or
too muscular and hard in outline for
beauty. The slenderness of a thin
youthful arm is beautiful; artists love
the long, tapering line. But thinness
Is rarely a beauty feature in an arm
whose possessor is over thirty. Then
the wristbone is too prominent. the
elbow too sharp and the hand is like
ly to be knobby and stringy. The
woman over thirty who has an arm
not too thin, has almost always one
too fat.
SO only youth will be able to wear
most of the alluring sleeve styles this
season, after all. and most Of the
rest of us will have to abide by the
good old three-quarter, or %just-below-
the-elbow length which is, after all a
wise choice since both Of these lengths
are becoming to most arms.
Cuffs And Rufics Add Becomingness
The very plain, above-the-elbow
sleeve Is the most trying kind. Two
sleeves Of the sort are pictured. One
frock is of black chiffon taffeta.
puffed over the hips and with the new
basque bodice. quite fiat and youthful
and buttoned at the back. The sleeves
are set into armholes and are tight
and quite short. They look well with
the long, wrinkled gloves, but they
are rather trying sleeves unless an
elbow is very round and white. The
other frock is of pale gray silk crepe
and the sleeves are cut kimono fash
ion-in one with the waist. These
sleeves, too. demand a very lovely arm
and elbow but they are charming II
the arm is pretty enough to stand the
style.
Excellent sleeves for the average
woman are those on the frock of
navy and white foulard; indeed the
whole costume is ~commendable for its
conservative good style and its quality
of wearableness. The bodice. gath
cred into a low-placed belt is grace
fully full and the skirt. draped mod
ishly at the hips and gathered in a
little at the hem. is smart yet digni-
fed. No woman can make a mistake
about adopting this model for sum-
mer wear. The sleeves, set into arm
holes, come below the elbow and have
a graceful. sloping line at the edge
with pointed, turned back cuffs. A
very pretty detail of this frock is the
deep collar OF hand embroidered
linen.
The very prettiest way TO trim an
elbow sleeve is with pleated ruffes.
on a frock of silk the pleatings may
turn upward, like cuffs; on a frock
of organdy or dotted swiss narrow
dropping rufles are charming. Some
times there are two %rufies. one at the
edge Of the sleeve and another an
inch higher On the sleeve. The soft
line of the little frill Is most becom-

FASHION ADOPTS GOVERNMENT
CARTRIDGE SILK

CARTRIDGE silk Is an entirely
" new fabric-to fashion. This ma
Nterial has heretofore been manu-
featured solely for Government
purposes-for war purposes, Yards
and yards of this excellent silk have
been offered to fashion, now that the
war is over and the great supply of
cartridge silk on hand is OF no use to
the Government; and fashion has
found how really stunning cartridge
silk is-when made up into tailored
suits, riding habits and the like. 1t is
a very strong silk and its durability
makes 1t a most economical fabric to
buy. 1t will not become shiny or
crack as some silks do and 1t has n
soft, dull surface that is very rich.

you did not know 1t by any

short sleeves were again in fashion
BY the evidence at the neckwear
counter-little half-sleeves of net or
sheer fabric intended for bastilg In
short sleeves when one derires to wear

1Rlf-slssves always follow in the wake
OF short sleeved freckS There was
no requirement for them while sleeves
came to the wrist and so they disap-
peared-and one had forgotten all
about them. But now they are back,
prominently exhibited in neckwear
departments; proof positive that the
era Of short sleeves is established.

dresses must have long, tight. uncom-
Portable sleeves. When the pendulum

Any Length Sleeve VIII Do
If you fancy the style you can wear
sleeves that are mere shoulder-puffs.
One Of the illustrations shows sleeves
of the kind, it is a coquettish frock
whose puffs and frllls accord with the
gay little sleeves. Or you can, If YOU
choose, wear sleeves to the wrist.
Some Of the most famous dressmakers
in the world, those authoritative
couturiers in Paris, who annually
establish styles. endorse the long
sleeve. jenny makes costumes with
shor sleeves and with long sleeves.
Some OF the smartest Cheruit frocks
OF the season have sleeves to the
wrist. But the average woman, of
course, Is going to wear short sleeves
this summer. For one thing, woman
is tired Of long, tight sleeves; and for
another thing short sleeves are the
proper and comfortable sort of sleeves
20 wear in summer time. Femininity
has been waiting and longing for a
return of the style and now that It is
here femininity is going to make the
most OF 1t. Who knows when fashion
may whisk around again and decree
long sleeves?
Let The Arms Decide
The wise and sensible thing, nat

question. Here is an opportunity at

Shape is as Interesting a feature as

many odd and unsual shapes this year

leaning toward Oriental effects and

HAYS SEES BIGGEST
MAJORITY EVER FOR G.0.P.
Says Voters Are Intent on Making

New York, Oct. 20. Will Fl. Hays.
chairman Of the Republican National Com
mittee today issued q statement IN which
he said an official Republican survey Of
the country indicated that Harding and
Coolidge would receive the largest pop
ular majority ever cast IN a presidential
election.
I'VE are now approaching the conclI-
sion OF this campaign. said MIR Hays.
.'On the part of the Republican party il
has been predIcated upon the necessity
OF the revival OF patriotism IN this coun-
try. 1t has had for main purpose

The Democratic strategy IN this cam
paign has desperately sought to escape
just and due responsibility for Democratic
extravaganza, autocracy and failure to
solve any OF the domestic problems The
Democratic management has attempted
to hide behind q peace smoke screen which
is as counterfeit as the 1916 pledge that
Wilson would keep us out OF war
But America IS uppermoSt IN the
American conscience today and that
means that the American voter IS intent
upon making America safe at home as
well as abroad. and that the Democratic
party cannot avoid responsibility for
eight wears of maladmlnIstration. The
electorate is determined that the accumu-
lated work in Washington will not longer
be denied attention, that all the domestic
problems shall be met and solved i'm
mediately, before which problems the
Democratic party has stood impotent and
in confessed bankruptcy.
The Republicans have succeeded In
the earnest effort 10 keep their campaign
on the very highest plane. In this course
they will continue to the end, unaffected
in any way by the depths to which the
opposition is descending in the concluding
days Of the campaign.
