PAR18, July 28th. The proverbially capricious weather in Paris makes the umbrella 'n necessayy companion whenever one sets out to walk. Umbrellas have such an uncon, scionable habit of losing themselves that their designers.haye now doveted their minds to the serious, problem of finding ways to attatch an umbrella to its owner. One successful method is to make the little portable roof so short of handle that it colapses into a short. chub ke affair which is carried bung over the arm by a loop of leather; this is so short that there is no temptation. to set it down. Other designers, more subtle psychologists, have bethought them of the fact that a woman hardly ever looses her hand bag with her money in it. So they have made ambrollas with a hand bag attatched to the handle Others, still more penetrating in their psychology have remembered that a pretty woman will loose anything rather than her powder and mirror. As a result we have umbrellas with the whole, buttery of modern beauty nùis contained in the'r bandles.
For men the problem is differentiBut here again the paychologieal designer has been at work. A man seldom fases his stick, so the umbrella makers havo set themselves a problem, in compactness and have successfully solved it with an umbrella which is 30 slender, when closed, that it slips into the hollow centre of a bamboo or mallaca stick One never looses an open umbrella. A man never looses his stick. The problems of keeping the masculine parapluie in the family is solved. This stick umbrella is not a cheap affair but one can surely afford to pay something of a pries for. so useful a combination,

Recently discovered and brought into vogue by one of the smart perfumers is vetivert scent, this predominates in one of the latest perfines compounded by this house and forms the undertone of another subtly compounded fragance that furthermore „PORSESKOS 20 alluringly mysterious name. If we have forgotten vetivert it is a pity. Our grandmothers knew it in its pure form, and many of them used bundles of this root (which comes from an Indian grass) to lay in the cedar chest where it did, guardian work against the verscious moth, and perfumed the woolen dresses that were laid away during the sommer. In India the vetivert grasa is used to make screens which are moistened and set in the sun, thus cooling the terrace and sweetening the air. while the mothchasing properties of the root brought into use as a per- server of cashmere shawls. In the forties when cashmere shawls were in such vogie that a fac one was worth a small fortune, the experts used to distinguish real cash- mere shawss by their vetivert scent which was, otherwise unknown in the Occident at that time. Needless to say it was not long before the imitators of the rea cashmere shawis managed to import vetivert to scent their imitations. The Fragrance has been neglected for fully a generation and now we find it suddenly brought into the height of fashion again. For the ten table there are linens which range from a prim simplicity to the extreme of ornateness. Fortunately a happy medium can be obtained by choo ing a service of heavy white linen simpl embroidered about the edge with a hind ing stitch and a picnt at intervals. Inset into rach napkin is a corner, motif of Venetian lace a star or a spider web motif, while the table cloth shows symmetrical arrangement of these motifs about the centre portion. Venetian lace while always in good taste, is very smart just at present. But one cannot go wrong in choosing real lace of any sort. Provided, for linen ware it is of a heary substantial type.

the elegant outline of the mirror to the floor in a satisfying and stable way. A curious mirror appears on the wall of a drawing room I know well. The mirror is round and no more than eighteen inches across. Its frame of black wood stands straight out from its surface. giving the mirror, which is hung by a heavy black cord, the quaint semblance of a black frying pan hung flat against the wall. But the mirror is there, and suddenly reflects passing faces. It is one of the fascinating points of the room.. which is, I need hardly add, furnished in modern style; it is rather severe in line and the principal actes of colour are supplied by a very long low coach covered in black velvet, quantities of cushions of brilliant colours, and low; wire wicker chairs also supplied with heavy bright- coloured cushions.
The annoyance of lingerie straps with their inconvenient not to say inesthetic. little way of appearing from beneath the neckline of the frock is avoided in various way by women who study these important little details of their toilette. Some sew inside the neckline of their frocks, jus at the ahculler seams, a pair of little ribbons of the same colour as the frock. These lip ander the shoulder straps of the lingerie and fasten to the inside of the frock with a couple of soup fasten- ers. Others provide their lingerie with narrow removable shoulder straps made of bead. These can be easily washed and if they do show there is nothing inesthetic. about then. A few women refuse to wear shoulder straps of any kind and provide their singlets and camisoles with A strip of elastic run through the upper hem. This device however provokes the criticism that one must not suffer ton much to be beautiful..
