Parasols Cleverly Made This Year
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Possible or even probable sun spots
do not worry the leaders of fashion
or the makers of parasols.
What though certain alarmists
among the weather sharks assure US
that the heat of the sun is gradually
diminishing. and that sun spots this
summer may rob us of our quota of
sunshine; the parasol business is still
brisk-in fact, briSker than ii has
been at any time since you and l can
remember.
There is no limit to the range of
materials out of which paraSols are
made-nor to their shape. There is
even leather parasol not sturdy.
