colored silks which look so pretty in umbrella crowds on rainy days. Nowadays no one

with various costumes, and every man wants one to keep at home and another to have
at the office for emergencies.

rings to match the color of the silks; also dark wood handles with
rings or cords $7.35.

cluded are fancy ring handles with ivory finished tips and fancy
ferrules to match; all the popular colors at ?10.
