DOLL AND CRINOLINE.
A crinoline doll, whose legs merge them- | selves into a long handle, is thfe latest, novelty among the sunshades designed for I Ascot, savs a London, writer. A dainty carved and coloured ivory lady with high-dressed powdered hair, wearing a tight-fitting rose-coloured velvet bodice and wide-spread frilly skirts, of rose-sprigged silk, was a typical example shown at a West End establishment. Such dolly sunshades also represent the latest vagary in dolls for grown-up women. In some instances the crinoI line sunshade is repeated in a crinoline doll handbag. Hie long s1 i m handles make a new nolo of the season's parasols, and are quite different from the shorter handles of recent years. Long sticks, sometimes almost dircctoire length, of ivory, -malacca, ebony and other materials, are to be seen on most of the latest sunshades. A very attractive notion that is being carried out for one lady is a black and white chiffon sunshade, with a carved ivory fan for the ferrule and u similar fan for the handle.
