The Latest In Wall Paper Nellie 31y. Council of Jewish Women. Mrs. Rudyard Kipling is a slender little woman, with soft brown eyes, dark hair and a very sweet expression. She is not "a new woman" and does not care for any society except that of her household, and she and her husband are so congenial in tastes and ideas that they live all the year around in a little farmhouse 15 miles from Brattleboro, Vt., and never even think of being bored. It seems curious that such a bit- fill miBh mmjmk MRS.

Mrs. Kipling was Miss Carolyn Bales-tier, Bales-tier, with whose brother, the late Wol-cott Wol-cott Balestier, Mr. Kipling collaborated for several years. The third member of the family is Miss Josephine Kipling, who was 2 years old last New Year's day, and from the stories one hears of her must be as precocious as that typical typ-ical American child whom Papa Kipling hates. It is said that Miss Josephine recently re-cently declared in bitterness of heart: "Boo-hoo! My papa tells lots of stories sto-ries and gets money for 'em, and I tell one little weeny story and get spanked. Boo-hoo!" We can imagine Kipling laying down the pon to administer tho slipper. New York Commercial Advertiser. This Year's Sunshades. The new parasols have many little details different from those of last year, but are about the same size and shape, says a writer in the Boston Herald. The eccontrio shapes are never considered very good form and aro only a fad which, as a rule, most women do not indulge in. Those of this year have sometimes two materials. For instance, the center part will be of silk or satin, then will come an insertion of folds of chiffon, then a band of the thick material mate-rial and a ruffle of the chiffon. It is claimed that this fashion of having the center of the thick goods shades the eye3 sufficiently, and then that tho shadows shad-ows cast by having alternate stripes of satin and chiffon make them very be-aoming be-aoming to the complexion. Black and white parasols are exceedingly exceed-ingly smart. Not the black and white material 60 much as tho black trimmed with white, although quite a number of black and white stripes are made up, and black and white brocades in fancy designs and trimmed with ruffles of black lace seem to meet with general favor. The black satin, with broad designs de-signs of coarse white lace and deep ruffles of the same lace, are very smart indeed. The advantage of this style of parasol is that it can be worn with a gown of any color and look well, black and white being permissible with everything. ev-erything. The ruffles of lace and chiffon add greatly to the beauty of any parasol, para-sol, but they do prove troublesome for anything that is in daily use and are of course entirely out of place with a tailor tai-lor made gown or any walking costume. The fancy pompadour silks are made up into exceedingly dainty parasols. These come with blue, pink, yellow or white ground, with the sprays of flowers flow-ers embroidered on them. Sometimes they are made up with lace ruffles, but again are perfectly plain. The handles are of whitewood, and there is a big bow on top. They aro extremely reasonable reason-able in price, considering their beauty, and can be bought as low as $G. Indeed all parasols are much cheaper this season. sea-son. Mrs. Charles H.
