UP AGAINST 1T BOTH WAYS

Victim of Hard Luck, as He
Explained II.

A middle-aged Polish man appeared
one morning recently at one of De-
troit's social settlement houses. To
the young woman on duty in the Of
flee he told a story of illness and Of
failure to find satisfactory work since
his dismissal from the hospital a few
weeks before-ending the recital by
saying that he wished to be sent to
the poor house.
But won't you let me help you
find work." asked the girl. What
did you do before you were ILL.,"
"Why, lady, | worked for a tailor
an / ran de goose. But such a job
is too hard for me now"
well, wouldn't it be better to earn
even part of your living and let some
n help you a little than to give
up entirely? Why, I'd rather pull bast-
ing threads than to do nothing!"
But, We see, lady, youse don't under
stand. It's just like this, We see. I'm
too weak for de strong work an I'm
too strong for de weak work-an'
there We are"

OLD STYLES IN PARAS0LS
Quaint Fashions of Many Years Ago
Seem to Have Returned Again
to Favor.

The quaint styles of parasols used
from 1920 to 1880 have again appeared.
Shirrings, puffings, pipings, cordlngs
and knife-plaitings are used in a Varl-
ETY. of ways to emphasize ribs, to out
line cores and to form borders. Many
odd shapes and rich color combina-
lions are seen. Plain, severe styles,
fhe most prominent being the san
Homes, are seen only with tailored
dresses. There is a tendency to COM
hine materials. In dressy, fancy mod
els, the sand tones are combined with
bright colors. For instance, in one
model of brilliant red there is a Dor
der and a piping between the shirred
cores, in a rich sand color verging on
gold.
A smart parasol developed in con-
frasting colors has a row of shlrrlng
between the cores, producing a leaf
like effect. A very pretty p~arasol has
@ border of sheer crepe in a contrast
ing color, Topped in each section and
caught with a fiat button effect. Bat
tleship gray is a favorite color. being
used alone in tailored designs, and in
combination with the new reds and
blies in elaborate designs.
Many striking shapes are seen.
Araong these is one with wide cores
Of richly colored material and narrow
DO etions in stripes or checks. A clus-
ter of shirring appears at the edge.
or special interest is the return OF
fat Japanese and Chinese effects, both
plain and richly embroidered. japanese
prints are in both silk and cotton.
Many Japanese designs have dark Dor
ders. with here and there a delicate
bit of hand embroidery in gold. Some.
tim s odd-looking velvet birds IN or
