those conditions did not exist.
Umbrellas were very expensive and
so rare that few people possessed
them. In the early days the umbrel

water birds. Then. later, oiled silk
was the ordinary material. When
those oiled silk aftalrs were wet they
were exceedingly diacult to open and
close
The sticks of those lint umbl‘ollaa

The umbrellas were originally formed
and carried in a fashion the reverse

a ring at the top by which they were
usually carried on the tin-or when
levied and by which also they could
