Umbrella Handles.

Lack of variety In umbrella handles has been notable for the last few years, and those that are shown for the coming season are little changed, says the New York Times. There have been a few attractive wooden handles with well-carved dogs’ heads, but they were‘in the small parasols of short-time use. A French Importer had a variety of handsome umbrellas or sun umbrellas for women with smart, carved wooden handles, big balls or animals’ heads, which were reduced in price early in the season, but which at the 25 per cent reduction cost from $22 to $49- These were carved by soldlqr artists on the other side. One of the novAies of the last season has been in the form of big, gay-colored silk handbags, with upright pockets on the inside, in which were tucked tiny, gay-colored folding pa’rasols, the hinged handles turned down.
