Show NEW PARASOLS DEFY ADJECTIVES AND TEMPT PURSE- SALL the kuoo'i accessories end it is distinctly a season of extravagance in small things nothing will prove more tempting to the average woman than the dainty array of parasols for any and all occasions. There arc parasols for the woman who travels and the woman who stays at home; parasols for the real summer girl who loiters on beach or in mountain retreat; parasols for suburbanites; parasols for the very rich, to whom real lace snd hand painting seem essential, and parasols for the woman of smaller purse who still revels in the complete and harmonious costume. Parasols there are, too, for the shirt-wai- st suit, which are prim, demure, neat; just as circumspect as the others, but a trifle more elegant, and they are ready for the church or calling costume. Rioting in lace, applique and shirrings, they are ideal for the garden party or the summer wedding. And in smaller patterns, but equally dainty of manufacture, they come for the wee maid whose g dressing is a source of constant, delight to her proud mothrr All the fads in dress trimmings appear in the new parasols. Taffeta is tucked, hemstitched or fagoted. Chif OF ever-varyin- fon is shirred and niched. Satin is buried in appliques, or delicately ribpainted. To match the Dresden and bons so popular for sashes, bows chow, come parasols, each of whose eight sections is woven in a design showing flowers or fruits in graceful bouquets and bunches. And the really remarkable fact amid this riotous confusion of sunshades, is that, except in extreme cases and designs, they are within the means of the average woman who can afford to plan a representative summer wardrobe. At all the importing parlors, summer costumes are shown complete to gloves, hosiery and hat; and after making the rounds of these attractive shops, a woman realizes that the parasol must be cn suite. For example, a blue and white checked shirt-waisuit, trimmed with straps of plain blue silk, stitched in white, was shown with a rough white sailor, trimmed with dark blue racking and stiff quills, and a parasol that cleverly reproduced the effect of the costume and hat The ferrule was hidden by a dark blue ruching, next to which came the plain cover of blue and white checked silk in the same size as the check in the dress, h and on the edge was a heavy, band of plain, dark blue silk, stitched in white, to match the ornamental te st five-inc- stitching on the straps of the gown. A clever leading woman ot a reigning musical comedy success planned her summer costume for the stage on exactly these lines, and the design is worthy of consideration at tne hands of women in private life. She wears a morning gown of heavy white handkerchief linen, inset with linen lace, outlined with linen floss. The jseket matches the skirt, and the blouse and half sleeves are of fine lingerie flounces, showing Valenciennes lace and insertion. With this she wears a modified picture hat of Neapolitan braid, cut down to lines which barely suggest the short back sailor. This is faced with stiff little lingerie flounces to match the undersleeves of the blouse, but plaited to make them a bit more severe. The top of the hat ip' trimmed with rich cardinal red velvet ribbon, and tucked under the left side of the brim, among the white ruffles, are cherries, shading from green to rich cardinal red. With this she carries a parasol of white taffeta, in each section of which is woven an enticing bunch of cherries.. The narrow band of crimsi.n taffeta, which edges the parasol, tones perfectly with the cherries, and noveau art cherries are apparently tied carelessly to the light wood handle.

The woman who has a good cloth skirt of light weight, such as voile, etamine or nuns veiling, left from last summer can bring it up to the mark of prevailing fashions by the dexterous adjustment of taffeta or peau de soie trimmings. If she is a tall woman and desires a from alternate strips of the cloth and yoke effect she can build the yoke taffeta. If panel effects are desired, the stitched bands of silk can be so laid as to simulate panels. But the great point of divergence between last seasons skirt and this the years lies in the vent. Last year n vent was fastened by hooks and eyes. This year it is comefpletely covered by a fect. To secure this effect in the made-ovskirt, lay on a box pleat of the same silk used in trimming, narrow at the waist line and flaring slightly toward the hem of the skirt. This is fastened tight to the skirt, and cannot be detected from the same effect in cloth. Nor does it give a botched effect to the garment, or made-ovbecause of the general prevalence of silk trimmings in every imaginable form. Shirred pink chiffon.
