MAKING CANES TO ORDER.
Fashions Change in This as In All
THINGS Else.

FASHIONS change in canes, as they
DO In everything else," said a 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-
mentatlon. They wanted canes made
almost as thin and as light as whan-
gees. So many cheap limitations had
been made of silver-mounted smooth
wood canes that men of fashion would
not ook at them. This year we are
returning to silver mounts, but in de-
signs made to order that it 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 at
his | or elsewhere. Some men will
have h crooked handle SO that thew
can hang their umbrellas on a hook
IN a hat rack, and we have to manu-.
1acture a few of them to meet the
demands of the trade. Women ALWAYS
