Holder for Newspapers.

A novelty in newspaper holders is in the shape of an umbrella. A fanshaped piece of cretonne lined with sateen, about 18 inches wide, and long enough to fold together into six pockets, shaped like the folds of an umbrella, waS* bound with braid at the top and bottom, and after

being securely sewed together at the back, it was fastened to an old parasol handle or cane, which, being decorated below the crook with a bow, passed on down behind the pockets, and was ornamented with another bow at the bottom.
