Among some quaint imported speci-
mems are sticks of natural wood, with |
the natural fruit of each variety forming |
the handle. A stick of cherry wood has |
a bunch of beautifully colored and |
modelled cherries; an almond stick has |
handle of green almonds, while orange

leaves fashioned with wonderful skill.
Rustic looking handles have the bark left

big knot for handle
Many of the parasols are covered with
crepe and mousseline de sole, pulled and
frilled over silk. No bad suggestion for
