Umbrellas were his hobby. And while he was
trying to see. how good and how attractive he could
make them, he set to work to collect as many mn-
brcllas of olden days as could be found.
. He searched everywhere. He found all sorts of
odd and unique. umbrellas. Ultimately he got to-
gether a collection vorth much money—and of deep
interest to most talks.
