years a standard bearer for modern

DIR. Parks has had a long and
spectacular career in Boston and New

by frequent storms. In December
1928, he divested himself of his

HAVE UMBRELLAS MATCH
STOCKINGS AND HATS
Fashionabel Young Women in
London Develop New Fad in
Colorful Display.
Corresnondence of the Associatef Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON, February 17.-One of the
latest fads among fashionable young
women is to choose an umbrella to
match stockings and hat. In this con-
nection it may be said that the um-
brella departments of the London
shops are among the most colorful
branches of the business.
Scarlet and emerald have proved
ors of all, but these shades are often
overlooked by buyers who insist upon
matching their hosiery and millinery
even if the protectors from the sun or
rain have to be made to order.
AS to colors generally, especially
for women, modistes say that Lon
don has never been as gay in this re-
spect as it is today. Longer sticks
are coming back into popular usage
for umbrellas, but on account of its
convenience dealers say the short
umbrella has come to stay. Some of
the handles of the longer sticks are
encrusted with colorful china beads,
and are considered very effective, so
far as the eye is concerned, but from
a practical viewpoint the beaded
handled umbrellas are considered
merely one of the early Spring fads,
which will soon pass, because the
beads themselves fairly 'eat" away
very quickly the palm of the wear
