there lie the body of Isabella o,

II and Dame Alice Hungerford, who

Fashions change in canes, as t1e5
do in everything eise," said manu-
facturer who knows all about the
fashionable trade. Last year our Gus
toners were calling for rough wood in
its natural state, without any orna-
mentation. They wanted canes made
almost as thin and as light as whan-
gees. So many cheap limitations had
been made of silyer-mounted smooth
wood canes that men OF fashion would
not look at them. This year we are
returning to silver mounts, but In de-
signs made to order that il will be
almost out of the question for i'm
porters of cheap German silver to imi-
tate. In umbrellas the large handles
of rough wood still hold favor with
the men, 1t is no longer fashionable
to decorate them with initials. A man
likes an umbrella that he can pick out
at sight from a bunch OF others al
his club or elsewhere. Some men will
have the crooked handle so that they
can hang their umbrellas on a hook
in hat rack, and we have to manu-
facture a few of them to meet the
demands Of the trade. Women always
go in for something odd, and usually
expensive" ..
