UMBRELLAS MAY BE LONGER
Long skirts are bringing all sorts of other long things in their train, and among these, probably, will be umbrellas. Stubby umbrellas, which matched short skirts so nicely and which were so comfortable to carry, are not supposed, by the aestneti-cally-minded. to go with long frocks. So the manufacturers are tentatively introducing umbrellas of walkingstick length. Among the novelty umbrellas, which are always with us. is one that is fitted with an expanding gold bracelet handle. This is intended for use as well as for ornament and it should be a cause of fewer lost umbrellas. Another easy-to-carry umbrella has a disappearing strap. When the umbrella is closed it is held in an inverted position by the strap, but when it is necessarv to put up the umbrella the strap is drawn through the handle, to lengthen it. Another umbrella has a decorative knob which is really a box containing powder and puff. This is said to appeal specially to travellers.
