And some of them are double-faced- likewise like the one in the circle. That is to say, all the ribs and other interior mechanism of the parasol are covered with cretonne-a second circle cut out and deftly fitted to the inside of the one that forms the visible top of the parasol. Other cretonne$ para sols show wooden sticks, with a wrist loop of cretonne.
 Then, too. there are the lighter silk parasols, usually with the outer edge shirred a little to fit over a cord that forms the circumference of the parasol. These, if chosen in a good color, can be used to go with several frocks.
 The more elaborate parasols are made of chiffon and lace, and they are so lovely that they tempt one to pay even the big prices chosen for them. However, they must be worn more discriminatory than the silk para sols. To be sure, a black or white lace parasol can be worn with elaborate afternoon frocks of many colors. but it must be reserved for the rather dressed up occasion. It is exactly right at a garden party. But it is en- tirely out of place on a walk across fields in the country.
 Some of the new parasols of silk and georgette are beaded. This bead ing occurs around the edge, or else forms a design on the 1ody of the parasol. Fringe, however, is not used so much as it was last year. Instead little frill of lace or georgette or chiffon overhanging the edge of the parasol is used to give the softening effect that fringe furnished last year.

costly lace is plaited or looped up and used with the most amazing lavishness.
 In Lingerie.
 Even in lingerie dyed laces are often used. On rose and flesh crepe de chine Or georgette, lace is used to match ex- actly. In fact in a collection of lingerie I saw yesterday all the light shades were used-lavendar, green, yellow, rose and blue-and in each case lace was used to match.
 Wool Embroidery.
 In spite of the presence of spring and the coming of summer, one sees wool used in some of the new trim ming. Wool embroidery is still popu- lar and often an effect can be produced by using wool embroidery on cotton that cannot be produced in any other way. Besides, the colors have a differ ent quality when used in wool than in cotton or silk. Sometimes appliqued figures are used to produce a design They are stitched down with coarse stitches usually in contrasting colors. For instance, charming little slip-on blouse worn recently at Atlantic City was of white with appliqued figures of gray woolen goods stitched down with red. They were used on the .peplum and on the shoulders and the neck and sleeves were finished with little red embroidery.

is, doubtless, best. There are lovely ones in dark blue not really much more fanciful than rain-sun umbrellas and yet marked by a certain dainti- ness that brands them sunshades. These, if your street suit or frocks are blue. can be worn for all occasions, for they harmonize well enough to pass muster with the lighter afternoon frocks.
 But if you have the money to spend and parasols are expensive this year, just as butter is-you will want more than one. The dark one for the dark afternoon frocks is perhaps good choice anyway. But if you have more than one, you might choose a green, very dark, or some shade of dark brown. Tete de negre is espe- cially successful in the simple silk parasols.
 Then, for a second choice, there would be the lighter parasols. The new cretonne ones are beautiful, and they are appropriate for wear with all sorts of summer frocks. Some of them have cretonne covered handles, like the one in the circle in the sketch.

the Teeth Ls q Modern Accomplishment

Cheap wooden toothpicks were then as unheard of as weR. sets of forks as part of a dining room equipment, and since persons of quality had ac- fork instead of with knives or their fingers, and had not yet become dainty enough to think of dispensing with the toothpick, they had to carry these per- quisitcs with them.
 England eschewed the toothpick be- fore America did. A generation ago, when toothpicks were still used to some extent in this country. a visiting Britisher said We English regard the use of the toothpick as a barber ism. horror. an indecency, and would not take one Of those clean wooden spills between our lips for the world" Yet, as this Englishman pointed out, his fellow countrymen did sometimes, as coyertly as possible, after dinner re- lieve some dental discomfort by means of their fingers. "thrusting their hands in their mouths. with the hope that no one has seen them" The English mans conclusion was that, in spite of his own prejudice against the tooth pick, it was often preferable to this practice.
 Now there is but one answer to the whole question: Frequent enough visits to the dentist to keep the teeth free from cavities, through use of the toothbrush three or four times a day, and the use of dental floss to supple ment the use of the toothbrush. It would seem far fetched. perhaps. to say that it was a mark of poor breeding and an example of very bad manners not to go to the dentist. yet it really amounts to just that

YOUR PHONE NUMBERS.

It is a great time-saver to have the numbers that are most frequently called written conveniently and placed where you can see them. Some persons have this on a card that is posted on the wall beside the instrument but this sometimes does not look very attract i've. It is better to attach them to q card that hangs on the phone intended for this purpose. For instance, on this card the busy housewife should have the numbers of the butcher, baker, grocer and other tradesmen. Even if she feels perfectly familiar with the numbers she should have them there to aid her so that the one time in hundred when she doesn't recall them she will have them at hand. More over, it may be that she will some times, want to ask some one else to call these tradesmen when she is busy and they will have the numbers at hand conveniently.

Without doukr the great strides taken in the scEuce and practice of dentistry within Sse past fifty years or a hundred yearA~sSre responsible for the great change tEst has taken place in that time in whN might be called the etiquette of the A.othpick. No one needs to be told thaw toothpicks are absolutely taboo now. Perhaps you do see little dishes of them occasion ally in a country hotel dining room, but if you do see them you pretend not to, and if you make any pretenses at good breeding you do not use them. Yet fifty years ago the American man who did not use toothpicks was more exceptional than the man who did. Seventy five years ago, so far from being frowped upon, toothpicks were objects of considerable artistic inter est. Men, and women too, carried their own picks of gold or ivory. Two hundred years ago the costly tooth pick was one of the indispensable ac- cessories of the gentleman of wealth and position The handle of his tooth pick was sometimes set with precious stones. He carried it in his pocket and used it quite shamelessly whenever his dental deficiencies and limitations demanded it.<

WITH CANNED SALMON.

Canned salmon, always available, can ioe made into so many dainty and de- iiicious dishes that it can be used once for twice a week without becoming tmonotonous. Here are some recipes for using it in many good ways:
 Broiled Salmon.-Separate the sal mon into neat pieces and broil quickly Son each side Prepare some maitre d'hotel butter-cream butter with a little juice and minced parsley-and 1. spread it over the hot, broiled slices of salmon. Serve very hot
 i Baked in Peppers.-Parboil green peppers of the sweet variety after cut ting them in half and removing the seeds. which are often hot. In ten minutes drain them. dip quickly into cold water and drain. Then mix sal mon with an equal amount of bread crumbs, .moisten well with melted but ter and a little cream. Put in bak- ing dish, buttered, pour in a veAy little water and cook until the peppers are soft and the>fish is brown.
 Creamed Salmon.-Separate canned salmon into rather large pieces and heat without breaking very much in white sauce. Serve on thin slices of hot, buttered toast and season with salt and pepper.
 Salmon Salad.-Salmon salad is de- licious and can be made in several ways. One is to mince the salmon fine and mix it with mayonnaise dressing. nnd then to serve it in white lettuce leaves with a teaspoon of mayonnaise on top of each mound, and a couple of ] capers in that. Another is to mix the salmon, broken into large pieces, with French dressing, and serve it on lettuce Still another method is to use iequal parts of salmon, in flakes, and minced celery heart with mayonnaise or French dressing, on lettuce.
 ScalIoped SaImon.-Scalloped salmon is made by putting alternately layers {, of canned salmon and big bread crumbs in a buttered baking dish and then pouring over it all some thin white sauce, seasoned well with salt and pepper, then adding a sprinkling of buttered bread crumbs, and browning in the oven.
 Plain Salmon.-When canned salmon is served plain, it should be freed from skin and bones and neatly, arranged on a platter and garnished with. sprigs 7 of fresh parsley and slices or sections of lemon. .\

TENDER MAcARoNI.

The first essential in any macaroni dish is tender macaroni, and careful experimenting proves this method to be the best: Butter the bottom of d saucepan and break the macaroni into suitable lengths and put it in the saucepan. Then cover it with cold water and boil it, adding a pinch of salt when it is half done. Stir it occa- sionaIly. The butter helps to keep it from sticking When it is tender drain it. plunge it into ice cold water drain it again and put it into dish with a tablespoon or less of butter. Stir this through the macaroni to keep the pieces from sticking together. Then proceed as the recipe you are following directs.

usurp the fashion. Nor is the ruffied chiffon one the only 'one that is in real favor. You can find all these, and dozens of other kinds, in the shops. Therefore, no matter what your taste. no matter what your need, you can always find something to suit it.
 This very plentifulness of styles and fabrics in parasols makes it a little difficult to choose just one. We want as many as we have frocks, as many as we have occasions to go out-of- doors in the summer. However. we can pin our attention to one if we must. If we do that a taffeta or other heavy silk parasol, of some dark color.

 Surely nobody could see the new parasols, if she had any money to spare in her purse, and not buy them. They are too pretty to pass by, unless thin purse or a real aversion to the sunshade be the actuating impulse for passing them by. There are a few women who do not like sunshades. They perhaps don't know why they dislike them. It may be that the necessity for carrying anything in any

NelU Tendencies in Spring Clothes
Some of the Things That Give the 1920 Hallmark

."HE question of colors in clothes
 is always a most important one
 = but one that is hard to write about. for 1t is practically impossible to describe a color so that every one who reads about it will see it as it is. But pretty nearly every one knows the characteristic colors-of Chinese embroid- ery-there io d dark shade of blue and a light opaque shade. a green that is almost a. jade, much old rose light lemon yellow and a darker citron color. Often in embroidery representing flow CTS. however, a great range of shades is used, producing an effect that is almost realistic. But it is the shades used in the more conventional designs that are spoken of as Chinese" And in the parlance of clothes nowadays one hears much of Chinese blue," Chinese green Chinese rose" etc. It Is these shades that are used in some of the embroidery produced in France. Quite different are the Egyptian colors rather stoney, cold-looking shades with considerable brick red always pre- dominating.
 White Floss Embroidery.
 In some of the newest evening gowns you see white floss embroidery on white silk background, and this. though it may not have been borrowed from China, is not infrequently seen among the finest of Chinese embroideries. White is interestingly combined with colors in the embroidery of some of the new frocks. In three charming frocks exhibited last week I saw white embroidery on brown, a bright green on a light yellow and delft blue on white. It is not unusual to see in the new -blouses the use of opaque white beads embroidered on blouses of the light pastel shades.
 TourtereiIe.
 Gray seems to be coming ia for much popularity. Navy blue with a light tracery of gray embroidery always looks distinctive. There is a new shade called in France tourterelle. meaning turtledove, that is much admired.
 Dyed Lace.
 There is much use of dyed lace. In fact, by dying the lace to match the frock on which it is worn it can be used with much more variety than in the old sway. To be sure, when you use undyed lace over another color you have a better opportunity to see it's delicate design, but that does not seem to worry the fashionable woman of to- day who is willing to pay for most ex- pensive laces without concerning her self to show off their delicate design In fact, she wears her lacs quite diff ferently from the way lace used to be worn.s Once, you know. lace was usu- ally applied in smooth piece. a collar or a bolero, Or as strips, but now even

FROM THE SHORE,

If you are at the seashore there are lots of interesting gifts to prepare
 For one thing, mount specimens of all the different varieties of seaweed you can find. These will surely prove in- teresting to some small boy who is making a collection of plant life, or who is starting a museum" To mount the seaweed after you have taken it from the sea, put it carefully into basin of fresh water. Remove all dead or imperfect parts and then put a little card under the piece to be mounted. Let the seaweed float in place over the card, so that all it's leaves are outspread, and then lift the card quickly from the water. If the seaweed is not in place, immerse the card again. The seaweed should be stretched out naturally when the card is taken from the water, and it will dry glued to the card Mounted in this way seaweed will stay in position for years. The cards should be dried between blotters under a heavy weight.
