What Fashion Says.
"FAT" UMBRELLAS.
Umbrellas are very fat and stumpy this season. The latent handles are tubular in shape, and are crowned with an original kind. of knob that opers to reveal a Best of cigarettes. Others equally useful open in halves that are sufficiently large to contain a supply of sweets or a couple of coatings of face powder, accom- panied by the necessary puff.
The latest umbrellas are made in all sorts of colours, although there is a preference for dazk shades. There is, however, a movement in favour of bright colours, and even, when the un- brella is black or in some dark shade of tete de negra or rAVON blue, this is livened by a bright- coloured border.
The military strap that slips over the arm is a thing of the past. The best umbrellas are now pro- vided with a thick silk cord loop that is run through a hole in the stick, the cord being weighted with a big cabochon of amber, cornelian, crystal jsde, or quoise.

FASHION NOTES.
Nightgowes and combination suits of coloured crepe de chine ara effectively trimmed with bands of white crepe or with small geometrical figures, sp- pliqued or hemstitched on in a border pattern.
GLOVES TO MATCH THE VANITY BAG.
The three and four bu ton gloves bave returned to fashion. These are in kid or suede, and the favourite abades are tan, fawn or black for day wear, with white or black for evening wear. Self- stitchings are used a great deal, or else stitchings in a darker tone than that of the gloves.
A novelty that is catch- ing on is the gauntlet glove, made to match the shade of the dress with which it is to be worn, and embroidered in the same stitch and with the same design as those which figure on the dress. An- other popular form is the turned-back gauntlet glove lined with silk trimmed with raised embroidery.
There are other gloves that are trimmed with re- pousse work to match that on the bandbag, but these have not yet gons beyond the stage of being a new fad, which might or might not become general.
