Gay Parasols

"\HERE is plenty of evidence
that summer, so long delayed
in its annual visit, has really
arrived. A trivial one, viewed
from the standpoint of the practical
weather man, but important never
theless from the viewpoint Of fash
ions, is seen in the gay colored para
soils bobbing along the city streets
and country lanes.
Much has been written of para
soils and umbrellas. Never in their
long and useful lives have they re-
ceived so much publicity, but never
have they been so beautiful. Each
LAY there are fresh developments in
these hitherto uninteresting acces-
sories that are worthy of being
chronicled.
No more do We grasp a sturdy,
substantial parasol or umbrella ham
die. To be completely in fashion it
must be beautifully adorned. Blow
ing very fine beads onto wooden
sticks, on the ferrules, and in some
cases even on the tips Of the ribs, is
new development. The most beau.
tiful shades are seen in these. The
beads are even prettier than those
used for the finest beaded bags.
which they resemble closely.
Rare Plumage on
Parasols of Tafeta
A NAVY BLUE taffeta parasol
may have a white handle beaded
in an exquisite design Stimulating
the plumage of rare birds, and if
one dares to carry such parasol
you will find them with birds
painted on the taffeta. Birds are
favorite source Of inspiration for
parasol handles. The grace Of the
stork is faithfully depicted in white
beads blown onto the long wooden
handle Of turquoise blue taffeta
sunshade. A question likely to pre-
sent itself to our minds is: Will
such handles stand the sun and rain?
But even a brief experience with
them has proved that they will.
From Paris comes report Of
umbrellas with extremely fantastic
handles shown on the Rue de la
Paix. Among these are stocky
sticks Of ivory with Greek figures
in black relief, while one Of the
most extreme models has a plume
shaped handle Of sculptured ivory.
All have ivory tips and ferrules.
Binding the edges Of parasols
with leather is new. To match the
leather in color such q parasol may
have amber-tipped ribs and handle
covered with the leather. These
are smart when carried with leather
trimmed suits or coats. A brown
silk umbrella, short and stubby, has
a thick handle covered with pigskin
and round leather wrist strap.
The short ferrule is of wood, dyed
the color Of leather. A strip of
the leather about an inch and o
half wide is sewn around the UNI
brella about two inches from the
edge. AS the tips are of amber a
beautiful blending of various shades
of brown is seen.
The Oblong Parasol
Is the 1920 Model
THE dreariness Of a rainy day
may be utterly defied if one is
fortified by bright colored oiled
silk umbrella. Although we have
become accustomed to protecting
ourselves from the downpour by UNI
brellas of bright silks, these trans
parent, gayly colored things, all wet
and glistening with rain, are atten-
ton arresting. They come in colors
as brilliant as the rainbow's hues

Practical Beauty

late spring such as the one just
nsssed, which offered little incentive
n buying thin frocks. So, if we
have delayed in our shopping it
means that we confront real prob
l.m-that of getting suitable
r.rm weather wardrobe together
quickly. The difficulty is to get
clothes that will give service for the
oreatest number of occasions. In
tho summer we frequently face the
unpleasant fact that we have not
the right dress for the occasion, and
nothing is more discomforting than
the feeling of being unsuitably
dressed.
We are realizing more and more
the need Of the practical combined
with beauty in our clothes. The
sensible woman, however, never
sacrifices beauty to the purely prac-
teal. In the dark Georgette crepe
frocks We have this combination.
No fabric has yet been able to sup
plant the good, substantial navy blue
Georgette crepe for wear in the city
on hot days, Offering as it does the
advantages of coolness and light
ness.
There are those who, in their de-
sire to help reduce the high cost of
living, talk Of the economy Of ging-
ham, but a gingham dress is never
IN conomy-rather is it luxury to
be enjoyed in the country. In the
first place, ginghams are anything
but inexpensive, and, furthermore,
frocks made from them require fire.
quent and careful laundering, which
under existing conditions means
constant additional expense. Even
with the best Of care they never
look quite the same after a visit to
the laundry.
The Glory of 'Tafeta
Is Not Yet Dimmed
UNLESS some means Of introduc-
ing bit Of brightness into a
dark colored frock is resorted to
many women may consider it a bit
somber for summer. In the navy
blue Georgette model shown to-day
color is given in a most attractive
way by means of bars of hemstitch
ing done with French blue thread
and ruff1ed collar of old blue and
white gingham. Large blue and
white bone buttons fasten the bod
ice. The belt is of the blue Georg-
etc crepe with rows of the lighter
0lue hemstitching placed so closely
together that the effect of braid is
given.
Although we have seen a great
'eai OF taffeta during the last year
ls glory has not yet been dimmed.
Ne have had it combined with or
sehole IN an infinite number of
ways but no lovelier union of these
'"o mas appeared than is seen in the
