s-rte parasols. Every kind of embroidery
plays a part, and Inset laces and applied
laces Join with the embroidery In the em
belllhhment of many of the parasols. But
for our part, the acme of elegance In this
line lies In those sheer lingerie parasols de
void of frills and furbelows save for a line
of real ralenclennes Insertion and of a frill
of narrow real Valenciennes at the bor
der, but bearing on each panel or section
an exquisite design In embroidery so fine,
o perfectly executed, that It deserves to
v rank among the fine arts.
A few of these parasols stand out clearly
In our memory, even after a round of the
hops which left In- mind a wild whirl of
parasol Impressions. The loveliest of all
was lovely because of th grace of Its de
sign and the marvelous fineness of Its
Workmanship.
On each section of the parasol was em
broidered a basket of graceful shape, with
high curving handle, on which floated a
ribbon bow, an embroidered bow of course,
and the design was all In white. Filling the .
basket, climbing up the handl. falling matrimony Is too expensive,
over th edges of the basket and trailing m, argument Is th well-thrashed-out
off Into garlands which wandered con- and too generally accepted on that girls
tlnuously around the border of th parasol expect too much for the ordinary Indl
were embroidered blossoms, tiny roses, for
get-me-nots and daisies. Translate this
vague description into th finest French
embroidery, you can Imagine and you may
have some Idea of the beauty of the costly
thing.
There are less expensive parasols, of
course, hundreds of them, and some of th
less elaborately embroidered lingerie mod
els are very dainty and attractive. On
good model has a large rose of embroidery
and lac set In th center of each panel, '
and from this motif several rows of hand
mbroldered dots, graduated Int also, run
down to Join a dotted border.
Other models, still more simple, have for
' ornament only a deep border of hand em
broidered dots large at the parasol edge
nd lessening In sis toward' the top of
th border. The heavily embroidered de
signs, with centers filled with Valenciennes,
already mentioned In connection with frock
embroideries, are used upon the lingerie
and linen parasols, and among the para
sols of sheer lingerie stuff are many bor
dered by frills of the material, which ar
either lace edged or hemstitched and em
broidered with a fine garland design.
One finds hand embroidery, too, among
th silk parasols, but here It usually takes
' on a Japanese aspect and Is at Its best
when done In shades of one color upon a
ground of that color. We have seen a
beautiful parasol of brown silk covered ,
almost solidly with Japanese embroidery
In shaded browns, and, once more, there '
are the pongee .parasols, around which
huge dragons wonderfully embroidered in
elf-color are colled.
In flowered silk there are usually good
effects, and these flowered parasols are, If
th manufacturers' calculations do not mis
carry, to be very popular during the' com
ing season. Sometimes the whole body of
th parasol Is In a silk blurred floral de
sign, exquisite of coloring, and the wide
border Is of white, striped horizontally with
th color most prominent In the silk.
Another parasol has floral bouquets on a
white or light lined ground, alternating
with groups of fine black stripes from ten
to flftee of them running around the para
sol. On of the wide groups of stripes
forms the parasol border. Or, again, there
may be a deep floral border, while over th
body of the - parasol ar scattered little
floral sprigs matching the border.
Plain parasols of heavy grosgraln with a
floral garland festooned around the border
are handsome, and on the same order ar
parasols of heavy grosgratn In plain color
with a border design of floral clusters con
nected by 'festooned ribbon.
Parasols covered with net printed In de
signs especially for the purpose and show
ing th same floral design repeated upon
ea"h section, while a corresponding design
runs along the deep net frill which finishes
the parasol, are among the novelties and
handsome lace parasols of many kinds of.
fered both In white and black.
Going bark for a moment to the em
broidered silk parasols, certain models la
' plain heavy silk, exquisitely embroidered
with flights of birds In colors shading Into
the color 0 the silk, deserve mention, and
one of these parasols In gray, with sea
gulls embroidered on It, was really a work
of art.
Delightful parasols of a simple sort, but
for some reason or other unusually replete
with coquetry, are in one ton of chiffon

' Thomas Power O'Connor, Irish member
of Parliament and London journalist, who
visited the eastern states last fau, ex
presses the opinion that the American
woman Is th best on earth. He thinks
' her far superior to the English woman in
1 almost every way. For one thing, she can
talk and talk brilliantly, while the demure
English woman has been trained for all
centuries to let her husband do all the
talking. Th American woman Is th friend
and confidant of her husband, his chum and
ally. There Is rarely any such relation-
ship In England, where the sexes are kept
part In youth and never acquire real un
derstanding or acn other.
And so Mr. O'Connor thinks the Ameri
can woman, "with her quick perception,
her lively Intelligence, her opportunities of
knowing and understanding something of
human nature, and the protection and car
she receives from her men, is th most

qulslt taste, he declares, is s matter of
Instinct, while In England It must be cul-
Uvated for three generations. , .
All this leads him to observe thatvth
rspcta. Instead of glaring at each other
at dinner parties "like Oueiphs and Qhlbel-
lines, ready to do battle at an Instant's
notloe." they are now more r less polite
, . ,w
and Informal to each other.
Mr. O'Connor relates how he replied to
an Englishman who said he detested the
American accent: "You ought to become
accustomed to It as quickly as possible,
because the next House of Peers will speak
with sn Amerlcsn accent." The English
man begged pardon and didn't understand
the humor of the remark. Whereupon he
was assured that It wasn't humorous, but
a cold fact. The number of American
peeresses is growing, and their children. It
would seem, acquire from their mothers
the hsted accent.
With this glowing apostrophe the noted
Irishman closes his tribute: "If there Is
ever a genuine understanding and a real
entente cordial between the two coun
tries, it will be due to that wonderful,
that gracious, that daring product, th
American woman."

Wonea as Readers. .
Who reads books, the men of th court
try or the women? If by th term "books"
fiction Is meant and In common parlance
it has grown to mean just that there can
be no room for argument. Indisputably it
Is the women who support ths book sellers.
Not that women do not read what the
publishers call "solid" books, but their
tastes run generally In ths line of entertain
ment rather than research tn their reading.
Men are newspaper readers a few of
them "headline readers," and novels ar
not written ln headlines. The wife usually
reads far .more than the husband, unless
she is one of those unfortunate wives whose
work Is never done. Sorry would b the
lot of th mpdern writer if he could not
appeal to th tastes of his feminine read
