In pelting storm. These bright
hued umbrellas have entirely changed
the business of the umbrella depart
ments. Says a saleswoman in one OF
these departments: Women used 10
buy an umbrella as an unpleasant
duty. She hated spending the money
for such prosaic object-but had
TO have one! So she picked out the
cheapest umbrella that her taste
would stand for. Now she seems TO
feel; How much can / afford to spend
for the prettiest rain or shine UNI

ping for the gay. attractive thing; and
the saleswoman takes q good deal
more pleasure in selling II, than she
used to take in selling dreary black

The smartest rain or shine umbreIlas

FASHION ADOPTS GOVERNMENT
CARTRIDGE SILK

1ARTRIDGE silk is an entirely
" new fabric-to fashion. This ma
~terial has heretofore been manu-
factured solely for Government
purposes--for war purposes. Yards
and yards of this excellent silk have
been offered to fashion, now that the
war is over and the great supply of
cartridge silk on hand is Of no use to
the Government; and fashion has
found how really stunning cartridge
silk is-when made up into tailored
suits riding habits and the like. It is
a very strong silk and It's durability
makes 1t a most economical fabric to
buy. II will not become shiny or
crack as some silks do and 1t has a
soft, dull surface that Is very rich.

in the world, those authoritative
couturiers in Paris who annually
establish styles, endorse the long
sleeve. Jenny makes costumes with
short sleeves and with long sleeves.

THE COMFORTABLE LITTLE BOY


YTnHO would not be a laddie of
kkU five or six and wear the most
W. ideal clothes created by fashion
and convention for summer days?
Comfortable indeed is this small lad
die in brief, oose-at-the- e-knee breeches
and a hip-length straight-lne tunic,
which IL belted, has the belt so loose
the straight lines are scarcely drawn
in. Under his delightful suit that Is
probably made of cool linen, the small
boy wears a single garment Of dimity
or crossbarred lawn. The rest of his
costume consists Of short socks and
pumps. or perhaps a pair of soft,
cloth topped buttoned shoes, IL the
occasion is a formal one. These little
suits Of belted tunbc and breeches
come in linen. in chambray and in
striped percale.

wardrobe were planned to harmonize
with its dominating shade. there
would be inevitable clashes of color.
Shape is as interesting feature as
color, in the new parasols. There are
many odd and unsual shapes this year
and the Oriental suggestion is strong
in most of them. The slightly fat
tened top with ribs curving downward
toward the end is an instance of this
leaning toward Oriental effects and
the Oriental shape combined with
vivid color increases the impression of
the Far East. There are few high,
peaked shapes--or bell shapes as they
have been called in past years--but
the rather fiat top with curved ribs
Is more fashionable now.

dence of the sudden plunge into
wealth before throwing a weeks sal
anymore or less-into the maelstrom
of finance that proved the wizards S
undoing.
Miss De Veay spent her vacation
weeks in Boston and was urged by
representatives of the Ponzi concern
to take a fling at the method that was
to coin money for the venturesome.
She was tempted, but deliberation and
reasoning caused her to hesitate be-
fore embarking upon financial voy-
age with no land on the horizon. Now
she is glad She refused the chance to
profit by the international postal cou-
pom route.
The crowds that besieged Ponzi's
office early this summer, bent upon
getting back. il possible. some of their
savings. held no interest for the Gay
ETY. star, who watched from her taxi
window the frantic efforts of the un-
wise to reach the Golfers of the al
legged greatest money wizard of the
age.
She was on her way to catch the
steamer for New York to begin re-
hearsals with James F.. Cooper's new
show. AS she watched the sight, Miss
De Veay had grand and glorious
feeling Of relief when she reflected
that but for her Scotch caution she
might have been among the mob.
