suggests. it is porous looking.
Dull gray suede holds it's own.
The broad fob ribbon is insistent.
High boots are frequently made of two
feathers. The uppers are oftenest of
ooze. The vamps are either of patent or
Russian leather.
An Odd Pasasol.
A pretty summer parasoi has a Grecian

The skirt. which is a circular skirt. is
fastened to it in such a manner that it
shows the slightest flare. Around the foot
the skirt is finished with a band Of trim

fiat bands. The style is severe and the
trimming must also be severe One OF
the most original of the hip yokes was
fastened at the left. The skirt opened
down each side and was buttoned with
