Fads in Parasol Handles.

Although almost ezery variety of handle will be used, the latest freak of fashion is to have a slender inconspicuous handle of wood stained to match th-? color of the. shade.

The very newest parasol handle, which is <#uite too bizarre and expensive ever to become commonplace, is intended for the girl wit h athletic tastes. It is of light brown wood shaped after the fashion of a golf “driver,” and is decidedly ugly and rather awkward to carry.
