Kaon year brlntrs something distinctly individual Itn these dainty and useful little acces sories to the feminllne costume, and women che world over are early on 'the qui vlve for the nrst announcement of what the proper thing In parasols fand sunshades is going to be whether Ithe tendency will be toward the se 'verely plain In color and material, or 'toward the pretty fluffs and fripperies of the beruffled and bcrlbboned styles. This year's parasols will be a com promise between the two extremes. Exaggerated ruffled effects will not be seen, nor will the severely plain styles be in favor. Strips of embroidery, with openwork, or borders of gay colors, al ternating with ploka dots In bright hues, will rt"ileve the severity of the untrimmed shades, and tiny ruffles of narrow, tine lace, placed close together and bordering the edge all around, to a depth of from three uo five inches, .will represent the more elaborate types, combined with charmingly blended tones in the finest of silken and nov elty materials. Some of the most exquisite color ef fects ever devised tor parasol patterns re being ehown this year. All the lresden tones and the most delicate of Oriental blendings are to be, found In the beautiful silken prints of French design and weave that are now on dis play at the leading local dealers. Sev eral of the styles in parasols that are announced as the "leaders" for the coming .season, chosen from the stock of an exclusive shop, are shown here with. "It is going to be almost exclusively a white-und-black and a champagne shade season," predicted the manager of one shop. "The white and black effects come In greater variety than ever before, with all manner of pat terns tn stripes, checks and dots, and by the champagne shades I mean those of . tan. champagne or pongee color - background; bright splashes of color will enliven these, either In border trimmings Or In large dots, or the new square block effects. Of course there will be, aside from the simple styles, the very dressy and elaborate .parasols, which com this year la the new novelty French prints, so delight ful to the eye, even so disastrous to the pocketbook." One of the novelties that will be of strong appeal throughout the coming season Is the new "Yokohama" para sol or shade, a type of which Is shown In the central picture. No. o. This shade Is almost flat in effect, with many fine ribs of bamboo, and comes In a wide variety ef gay combinations, all the way from the pretty pongee with a border of white openwork em broidery and border stripe of dainty robin's egg blue to the gay and festive effects tn red. The new square block novelty pat tern, which will probably rival theh polkadot materials this season, is shown In No. 9. which Is of champagne colored silk, with squares and border of rich brown. An idea of the black and white tendency Is given by pic tures 2 and i. The pin-stripe effect In black and white, shown In No. 4, Is heralded as one of the smartest pat terns. No. 6 shows a pretty little shadeof npngee, with embroidered red dots and a three-inch border of red silk. This type of shade is varied with dainty 'linings of silk in delicate tones. The white linen parasol, which, not to be so much in vogue as in former seasons, will still be popular, and is being shewn In daintier and more elab orate patterns than ever. No. 3 shows a shade of white linen of all-embroidery, with dainty openwork border. Very little idea of the extreme dain tiness and attractiveness of the para sol shown in Ne. 1 can be had from the picture. The beautifully blended tones and the dainty rufflea of narrow lace about the border are things that escape the camera and defy reproduc tion. The broad Dresden stripe whioh forms more than half the pattern of this shade Is found In nearly all the styles of elaborate parasol, and the exquisite Dresden blendings are prin cipally employed In the delicate French print patterns, which are not really prints at all. but a cunning weave of Ingeniously tinted silken thread. The effect Is much like that of skillfully hand-painted silk. These are to he had for use with milady's elaborate gowns in any desired tone, and at as high a figure as one may care to stipulate. HITS RACE TRACK ONLY Poker Clubs la Washington Not . Bart by New Law. OREGON IAN NEWS BCRKATJ. Wash ington April 26 While Congress has been unwilling to make Washing ton a "dry"town. It has decreed that there shall be no more gambling In the District of Columbia. The prohibition question has been put over for later con sideration, in the expectation that the wave will have subsided before another Congress convenes. The unfortunate thing about prohrbitlon and gambling in the District of Columbia Is that the resi dents of the District have no voice what ever in legislation. Congress has full power to say whether there shall be prohibition or whether liquor shall con tinue to be sold: it has the same abso lute power to regulate gambling. While It la no doubt true that the Dis trict would have voted to dose down gambling, just as Congress has done, it is not likely that the citlsena of Wash ington and the remainder of the District would vote for prohibition that la a ma jority of them. 'The enactment of an anti-gambling law will put a stop to horseracing in the Dis trict: the Bennings tract has probably seen its last meet, but aside from that. the District will not feel the effects of the anti-gambling law. There are no recognized gambling houses In Washing ton or In the suburbs; there is no gaming of any sort, other than baseball, football and the like. There are, of course, quiet poker games, and there always will be, especially during sessions of Congress, for even an. act of Congress cannot sup press that National game, if it Is played on the quiet. In one of the swell apartment-houses of Washington a party of Senators and! Representatives maintain a regular potter club, and not a few of the members of that club voted for the antl-gambllng bill. But no one supposes that this club will suspend, now that Congress has voted against gambling. "No more will othe? private assemblages cease. But gambling In the open will not be at tempted. As a matter of fact all sorts of gambling, except betting at the race track, has been prohibited by police reg ulation; now it is prohibited by law, and racing goes with poker, etc. So, the anti-gambling law. Instead of putting the lid down on Washington, .merely makes the lid more secure, for Washington is not and has not been a wide-open town. Eliminate the race track and an utter stranger never could find his way to a poker game, unless he was vouched for. Eye glasses f 1.00 ax Metzger's. "EVIL EYE" AIDS ROBBER Aged Woman Falls Victim to Strange Delusion In Paris. . PARIS. April 25. (Special.) An eld. erly lady was haunted by the Idea that some day an evil eye would cause her terrible mischief, and her anticipation has just been fulfilled. She had taken a sum of $400 out of her bank and $2000 worth of securities, when, as she was leaving the establishment, she saw a young man of rather unprepossessing appearance staring at her and finally he followed her. She quickly took a rar, but. to her surprise, found htm sitting opposite her and still looking at her with an "evil eye." When she left the tram she again saw that he was pursuing her, and, what was worse, seemed to keep his terrible eye on her all the time. So frightened was she that she actually ran to her house, but on reaching the entrance she waa completely overcome and fell down in a swoon. - When she recovered she found that all her money was gone, together with the securities. It was only then that Ehe thought of calling a policeman, but the young man with the "evil eye" had long ago gone away with his booty. Ue had enough consideration for bar. The digryty and elegance of these garments combined with their surprisingly low cost will make them first choice of every woman of discerning taste who ap preciates right economy in shopping.

Makes Abject Apology. BERLIN. April 25. (Special.) Privy Councillor Paasche, Vice-President ef the Imperial Legislature, formally apologized In the Reichstag the other day for an attack he made on the War Minister during the first reading of the military estimates. Referring to the - "Zukunft" revelations, he had declared that the military authorities were endeavoring to shield officers of noble birth from the consequence of their perverse crimes. As Herr Paasche happens to be a Majnr of the Landwehr the Minister of War exercised his military authority to exact a humiliating retraction from him. Metsger fits .glasses lor SI. 00.
