UMBRELLA AND HANDBAG
OF MILADY MUST MATCH
Trappings of Fashionable English
women Becoming More Luxuri-
Gus Almost Every Week.

LONDON, September (Correspon-
dence of the Associated Press).-The
trappings which the fashionable Eng
Ilishwoman must have are becoming
more luxurious almost every week,
the latest instance being the dictum
that umbrella and handbag must
match.
Tortoise-shell and ivory fittings are
the favorite choice for silk umbrellas
and bags. and. with ivory, bottle-green
silk is liked for its old-world effect.
Both ivory and tortoise-shell are
costly. which may account for their
popularity, but ivory is the higher
priced. An umbrella fitted with a solid
stick, surmounted by ball, will cost
$50 and bag as much more. Both UNI
brella and bag are, as a rule, finished
with the owners initials, at an ad-
ditional cost of $3.50.
In the country and at the seaside,
cretonne-covered sunshades, with
handbags to match, are popular.
The Sunshades are domeShaped
and are patterned with Chi
nese garden, pagoda, large bird and
flower effects. Bags. commodious
enough to carry stockinette bathing
suit, needlework, knitting or crochet,
and even light luncheon, accompany
the sunshade, the wearer slipping the
composition bracelet handle over her
wrist.

her retirement. Two and half
months after entering the Red Cross
Hospital School at Paris. she was. be-
cause of aptitude and proficiency,
sent to the field hospital, where three
weeks later she was made head night
nurse.
When the Americans entered the
war, Miss Baker was detailed to serve

During her service at the front she
wrote many magazine articles, the
proceeds from which she spent on
delicacies for the boys under her
