matter of compelling show

For a woman. a smart
sun-and-rain umbrella of
bright-colored silk settles

Should the weather CO.

brella that made one feel
like a Mrs. Camp the very
minute the sun showed

Once this Store sold
many hundreds of parasols
in a Summer, and a gay
show indeed they must
have made against the
background made by the
demure black rain-umbrel-

thing the umbrella-maker
could think of.

It is not snowy. The han
die is simple - a post of
light-colored wood, highly
polished, with a cap of gold
and a neat leather strap.
But the covering is Of the
finest quality of silk made
for umbrellas anywhere in
the world, and the frame is
of a famous English make
that we have never heard of
as breaking.
All kinds of umbrellas

may never have heard of
but which may just suit
you; for instance:
For extra-sized men,

For short men, a short
