G UGH an endless number of pretty
wicker and leather novelties as there
are for the girls own room at her
summer place! Furnishings. ornaments
and really useful things are done this sea-
son, for the first time, in a combination
of rattan aud skin that is most attractive,
all colors and shades being shown, so
that there will be no difficulty in matching
the girls favorite.
Among them are the quaintest foot
stools. rather low and long, fashioned on
Colonial lines. They have handles, like
rounds, at either end on the top; there are
little legs, and the surface ON which 10
rest the feet is done in Russia leather.
These stools are in red, tans, blues, yell
lows and the like, the leather in all cases
matching the rattan.
For the girls own parasols and UNI
brellas there are most fascinating stands
woven in wicker, with finish of leather.
They are about three feet high, and are
square rather than round. From the
wooden bottom they flare gracefully at
the top, and the back is about two inches
higher than the front. Ii is not onIy
useful. but extremely smart looking, max
ing the prettiest possible receptacle IOr
dainty parasOls.

cord fastened TO the inside Of the centre
mt the bottom ends in a similar place on
the cover. The inner finish Is leather,
corresponding to the outside in color, and
a leather piping is visible from without
on the cover edge. bi0Fe boxes are slull-
lar. except in shape.
For the girl who goes away 10 make
visits there are the most fascinating
medicine cases To put IN her trunk. In
size they vary from eight to twelve inches
IN length and from I'VE To seven IN width.
