for an American girl artist in Parli
to send us a charming and Frenchy
little design that will catch the eye of
our summer girls—one and all—on the
instant.

chief in cashmere design draped over
a very large wire frame—which is
light in weight and protects the hair.
The ’kerchief is edged with black
moire, and there is a black tassel at
each corner. And it may be made at
home, which' is not the least of its
charms.
