Elsborately Trimmed Parasols Valuable Accessories to Summer Tollets—Sultable Colors and Materials—Dainty Gowns and ‘Their Trimmings. Special Corsespondence of The Evening Star. ‘New Youx, May 26, 1893. HE PARASOL HAS been the delight of the frivolous woman's heart for several seasons. It eemed last year that the ‘end had come to the whimsical possibilities of the parasol. especially since the lamp shades pushed tho parasol hard in effects and beauty, and that this year we should be ordered to the plainess sorta. But they are quainter and lovelier than ever, and what is more, you can no more pre- tend last year's parasol is this year’s than you ean make the same pretense with last year's skirt orbat There is the same tendency to elabora- tion horizontally in the parasol that there in everything else. Materials. too, have changed so far as color and quantity goes. All the old ordinary tricks of trimming are scorned and utterly lack modishness. The top of the Parasol iy as flat as can be. It can be covered ‘with a lot of ruffles, and it may be = potpouri of puffs, but the pagoda effect is all gone. It * may have a little fence or hedge built up in the muddle around where the stick would be, if you like, of upright lace and ribbon, but the fatter the more correct seems to be the rule. Droop- ing ruffles no louger hang about the edge so that you cannot tell whether a lamp or a girl | is beneath. | The circumference of the parasol is increased | by framework of fine wire. but not the spokes of the parasol’ carried out. On this | Wire is stretched lace, ribbon or flowers, not in | solid masses, but in cute little tangent caprices | of ends from the main part of the parasol. Of course, they have no visible means of support, | and the sight of them should make one uncom- | fortable, but it does not. They look lovely. | ‘The old-fashioned tiny parasols of yrand- mother’s day are copied, and then increased to bretelles are brown velvet, and form a round flounee in back «1 continue along the right Ee front, terminating ina | ree with the rosette. At the neck there is a plastron of hght brown silk poiuted in zront and round behind, which closes at the left shoulder. It can be made separately from the waist if desired. he material used for the next example is silver gray crepe de chie trimmed with pale lavender velvet. ‘The bell skirt may be lined with lavender silk to give a changeable effect, or plain gray if desired. It is trimmed with three bias folds of velvet. The two upper ones are cut round and are sewed to the skirt only on the top edge so that the bottom flares a trifle and looks like two skirts. The round waist is tucked inside the skirt and hooks in front. It is trimmed with a gathered rutile of crepe, which leaves a pointed opening at the neck.” The sleeves have avery full puff of crepe tied a little above the elbow with a gray velvet ribbon anda long cuff of gray velvet. Around the waist is an empire girdle fastened with an oxidized silver bu . At the neck there is a fu!| bow of velvet ribbon. BETWEEN SUN AND BEAUTY.

French gowns this summer combine—in dar- ing freedom from traditional custom—lace, satin, velvet and wool. Garni of utility gowns of serge, tweed, poplin, cheviot and Dengaline are fragile ruchings of gauze or luce or some other misplaced eccentricity. There is acreation just held aloft by careful hands. It is mixed ‘bronze and brown hop sacking for the country season. ‘The skirt iv short, light, practical. The bodice is round ‘and soamiess, fashioned with consummate skill, but, nevertheless, simple and useful. Butover itis ating zouave jacket of white kid, massively embroidered with a lace pattern in gold threads, And the jacket cannot be detached, Another is an epitome of details, briefly de- scribed and sketchily transferred to the accom- panying cut. It is in gray foulard striped slightly with green silk threads. The skirt is an umbrella gored to the last extremity. Across the front are twilled lengths of ribbon ina bright petunia shade, caught to the skirt only at the bow on one end ard the welcoming seam atthe other. The bodice is belted with the queer petunia-shaded ribbon—petunia, some- how. affiliates with a great many shades despite Rolling revers are faced with pink silk and proudly ex- pand to reveal a yoke of green, over which is frilied lace. The lace is heaped in frills about the neck and in the sleeves, which are like no other sleeves in this, their epoch. ‘To recapitulate.

Her memory was remarkable, and she would repeat these “tales of the long go” in such a manner as to make them in- teresting.

She gave him an additional €10,and, counting ner cash afterward, dis- covered ‘that she had been defrauded of just that sum.
