Handsome Styles
in Summer Parasols
HE ps-rssol l a very Important
detail of summer costume. Many
fashionable worn on have an im
pressive array of them, but the
average woman Indulges In but
two or thr or perhaps only one ch

B.ipcrh plnln parssol of white lace are
popular, but the fluffy white parasols of
chiffon or net onca so ubiquitous are now
rather the exception, though nothing In
the parasol Una was ever mora coquettish
and becoming. Here and there, however,
one finds a charming model of this type.
A full chirred cover of chiffon or a grace-
ful frame, bordered
by a soft double
frill of the chiffon.
Is one of the sim
plest and most ef

Woman's
A Woman Diver,
I Mich., Is probably the only woman
the occupation of marina diver.
She la but 81 years of age and
has accumulated an Immense fortune. Her
first great work was when she raised $30,000
worth of copper from tha treasure ship
W. H. Stevens, whloh sank In eighty feet
of water in Lake Erie several years ago.
This courageous girl is known aa tha
girl diver of tha Great Lakes, and
wherever she goes she is regarded as tha
protege of tha lake seamen.
Miss Baker's father. Captain H. VT.
Baker, was a captain of dlvera and was
widely known as "the man who never
failed." and from tha time when she was
first able to go down to the river alona
aha used to watch her father's wracking
ship leave tha dock and longed to go with
Mm. The ambition to become a diver mai
tiired In her aa she grew older and she
deplored the fata which had condemned
her to be a girl.
At last her desire to become a diver
overcame tha objections of her friends
and she began making wrecking trips with
her father, and soon became hla insepara
ble companion. Bhe made a study of every
part of the machinery connected in any
way with diving and In time learned to
command the wrecking boat with great
skill and assurance.
Her first descent waa In Lake Huron,
where . big wooden barge had gone down,
and before tha wrecking steamer had
reached tha spot where the barge had sunk
tha owner spoke to Vies Baker, regretting
tha loss of a diamond ring which waa In
tha cabin. MUs Baker immediately offered
to recover it for hint, as she bad been
planning for soma time to make her first
descent upon the first favorable oppor
tunity, and succeeded.
The ring marked tha beginning of her
fortune, as she had proved that she could
live under tha water, and to be able to do
this means that a person Is worth any
where from ISO to (300 a day to a wrecking
company. Aa M out of every 100 men who
descend Into the cold waters of tha lakes
will In a few minutes begin to suffer from
bleeding at tha nose, head-spltttlng palna
and suffocation, that Is why aU good div
ers from ona end of tha Great Lakes to
the other may be counted on one's Angers
and toea.
Mlaa Baker now began following up her
. adventure with practical work and aha

fitted for a oaptain of divers Instead of a

Paris recently kad something of a sensa
tion in the aypoarance In tha Bola of a
young woman on a white horse placidly
riding astrtda. Such a sight had never

marvels of exquisite handwork and com
mand prices so hleh as to be prohibitive
save, to tho ro klesoly extravagant, but
there are simpler models that are attract
ive. One pretty linger! parasol of reasonable
price In the finest and sheerest of lawn was
tucked from center to edge In two Inch
tucks running around the parasol and be
tween these tucks were lines of embroid
ered wafer dots. Openwork embroidery of
the Hngllsh kind Is much liked for the
heavier linen parasols, which are plain
save for embroidered designs In tha di
visions of the cover.
A novelty In the lingerie parasol Is the
lining of the white cover with flowered
cotton stuff, dotted Swiss, mull, etc. In
one of our cuts Is pictured a sheer lingerie
parasol with finely tucked cover bordered
by an arrangement of heavy lace medal
lions and Valenciennes frills, but one of
the most charming features of this sun
shade does not show In tha sketch. The
lining was a delicately rose flowered dot
ted Swiss and the effect was altngethet
charming. There
re also plainly
covered parasols of
linen, pongee, etc.,
which have the
flowered lining
stretched as
smoothly as tha
cover, tha lining be
ing In silk when tha
cover la of silk.
Apropos of pon

are enjoying a da-

her. Bather than ride astride accompanied
by a cortege composed of the amused and
facetious populace, she withdrew from the
fight. But only temporarily, she declares,
for she Is making a lively campaign In
favor of the new American fashion, and as
soon as she has a convert or two they will
brave the public together.
"Riding astride," she says In a sort of
manifesto on the subject in a Paria paper,
"Is natural, reasonable and humane.

America's Wealthy fttmn,
Perhaps the distinction of being the rich
est woman in America rests among Mrs.
Green, Mrs. Walker and Mrs. gage. Mrs.
Bags has announced that she Intends to
devote her entire fortune, exceeding $'.0,
0O0.0U0, for the benefit of humanity. Mr.
Walker and Mrs. Green have given little,
so far as known by the world.
Mrs. Sage, as every one knows, in
herited her money from her husband, tho
celebrated financier, Russell Sage. Shortly
after his death, relates the Philadelphia
North American, she announced that the
entire fortune would be devoted to educa
tional and humanitarian purposes. Mrs.
Bags is greatly Interested In religious
work and tha public schools. Among her
recent gifts were $1,000,000 to the Emma
Willard seminary of Troy, N. Y., and $22T, -0"0
to tha national committee of tha Young
Men's Christian association.
Bhe has laid aside $1v.0w.m0 as a Raga
foundation for tha promotion of living
conditions In the country. In Mrs. flsge s
words: "The means to that end will In
clude research, publication, education, the
establishment and maintenance of chari
table and beneficial activities, agencies,
and institutions, and the aid of any such
activities, agencies and institutions al
ready established."

pensive and effective.
In one Broadway house Is shown a llr.e
of delightful and novel parasols mode
after the fashion of the Japanese paper
umbrellas with many ribs, very slightly
curved. The flattened out effect of this
parasol is odd and attractive and the plain
covering of striped shantung In white and
color, with the stripes running around tho
parasol. Is very charming. These quaint
parasols come In lavender and white, nat
tier blue and white, leather brown and
white and other colorings.
Stripes of all kinds usually running
horizontally, are liked by the parasol mak
Yet, because the board of assessors at
tempted the raise the assessment on her
property at Bellows Falls, Vt., from $10,000
to $12,0u0, she prepared to desert the home
of her youth.
"They'll impoverish me," Mrs. Green is
said to have remarked to a neighbor.
"Why don't you give the house away to
be used as a Carnegio free library?" was
asked.
To this the aged millionairess replied
vehemently that Bhe had no use for Car
negie libraries, and did not propose to give
libraries with strings attached.
Mrs. Green Is said to possess a fortune
exceeding $,000,0u0. She devotes most of
her time to accumulating money, bringing
lawsuits against people who, she says, try
"to do her," and practicing the gospel of
thrift.
Recently she was sued for $10,000 by an
attoiney of Boston. He had conducted a
lawsuit for Mrs. Green in which she
brought action regarding the income of an
estate Involving $Jii0,ii0. The lawyer
claimed a $lu.io fee. Mra. Green said she
considered tfi.OOO sufficient.
"borne people think that because I'm a
woman, I can be Imposed upon," she de
clared; "but after I am through with them
they generally find out differently."
Mr. Green Is saul to have recovered $5
dainaKi'S from a servant because she lost a
canary bird. In Wall street her reputation
for "closeness' Is proverbial, and her fame
as a business woman, a money maker, ex
tends from kea to sea. Among her maxims,
one is: "Pay your debt, and also see that
people pay you."
One of the most remarkable of America's
rich women Is Mrs. Helen M. King, tha
"cattle queen" of Texas. Bhe own more
than l.CW.OOO anres of land, and her fortune
la estimated St $n0.00i.0l.
In her time, Mrs. King, who is past TO,
haa battled with desperadoes. fought
against Indians, and has ridden the plains
bareback, a typical woman of the west. It

The Swastika Is a symbol of good luck.
In the form of a cross the oldest cross and
the oldest symbol In tho world. For the
present, at least, It has superseded the
horseshoe aa typical of good fortune to the

Its origin Is unknown, although it Is said
to date from remotest antiquity.
The Bwastika Is a symtxil that Is most
readily adaptable to various forms of de

Just now there Is a "Bwastika" fad

Orders for the symbol, In various forms,
such aa atlckplna, ruff buttons, fobs, watch

Tha Swastika, or symbol of good luck,
was known and revered by prehistoric na
