ERE are the Peek-a-Boo Parasols. How do you like
them? And the Peek-a-Boo Hat?- And how do 70a
like It?
It seems to me that they are very interesting and
amusing even If I did Invent them. I'm going to ten 70a about
them and Just why outside of their oddity and prettlnes they
are really good and practical.'
In the first place, therj, a parasol can do a great deal of good
or a great deal of harm to the wearer. Not every parasol looks
well with every kind of dress, and It la sometimes impossible to
have a parasol that fits every dress.-' The great reason la- not the
design of the sunshade but Its color. Every one knows the
ahades of color eometlmes hideous thatr are reflected on a
womsvDB nice oy me sun sninmg inrougn tne raornj 01 parasoi.
These colors can and "do have a greatly more potent effect on the
shades of a dress, They can kill certain colors or deaden them,
or even produce new colors not at all Intended.
The parasol is, In factfa spot light, and every one who baa
gone to the theatre knows how dress colors on the stage are
changed by the manipulation of color screens over the spot light.

1 funn sunlight is Injurious to no one because all IU rays are In
harmony, and the beneficent 'ones neutralize those that have a
bad effect. But a parasol can act as a ray screen. It can keep
out the healthful rays that are known by their colors and only
admit those which can and do have a bad effect on the skin.
The peek-a-boo parasol baa Its top made of light- netting

tulle or some other filmy material. It has. Indeed, is
skylight In it that lets 'the sunshine in. And this sky
light kcan be changed it necessary to auk the changing
complexion, hat or gown of its owner. The light oomea
through the peek-a-boo softly diffused somewhat, like
moonlight.
It is, besides, coquettish. The Orientals long ago
learned the witchery of lightly veiled eyes
and face witness the yashmak, the charm
of which we Western women are only now
daring to make our own.
And this brings me to the new peek-a-boo
bat, one of my newest creations, which
had for its Inspiration the face veil of the
Oriental women. Here are a couple of fhem.
think them charming? They are worn tilted toward the
front, and the fabric drops sometime Just below the
eyes, sometimes as far as the mouth and sometimes it
covers the mouth. - '
These 'are really two very new, very odd and very
attractive things and any woman who doesn't know
how to use them to the best advantage deosn't deserve
to have them.
Then there are the new headdresses. I will show
you some of them soon. Tbey are so simple and yet
so well, striking. For Instance, there is one that is
Just a simple filet of gold around the forehead. But in
the centre of it Is a feather really a quill quite a foot
and a half long. Ton have no idea how striking it is.
And then there are beaddreaaea of quills, quite like the
old Indian chieftains American-made headdresses these
with a vengeance.
Then again the little loops of pearls and other things
that have gone around the forehead are now worn looped
' around one eye. 1 suppose the next step will be around
the nose. At any rate, tbey are quaint and fetching, and
there's no reason one shouldn't wear them that way If
one wants to.
Of course, anything which accentuates the 1840 note
la good, too. But It U quite too bewitching to have one
of the new-fashioned, old-fashioned go whs and the odd
est. most up-to-date headdress with. K! The effect is
charm In
Novelty after all it a part of the Joy of life. And
I'm certain all these "pretties" are very novel. And any
thing that adds to the Joy of life is good.
