Asa study the umbrella 1* deeply ir,- lerest.ng. It ha# Its place in history, my. thology and religion. In the sculptured remains of Nineveh and Eg\|4 there ar' lepresentatlons of King- and occasionally of lesser potentates, riding in state or going In process on with umbrellas over their he*.ids This woul-l seem as If In those early days umbrellas were more of a mark of distinction than for either us-i or ornamental purposes And, Indeed, many of she writer* pvrsuade us that this Is so. #ug|e*trd liv'llif Muh room - It has been quite solemnly averred that the very first .-ugcestlon of the umbrella w* In the humt>i# mushroom and toad stool. and to thhs day the J'arlsian? call th# erect lona s* 1 * up In the B*s de Bou logne is shelter# for their pedeetrlsrs "champignons.** The sh.tt>e Is certainly In a crude way similar. In spite of our present humorous altitude, we are told by those well up In umbrella lore that in the • tr!y times, because of Its royal sign ill can e. proof of this, the Mahratta princes of India had irnong their august titles “lord of the umbrella ’ In China the umbrella has always play ed a prominent pari In the second Inva sion of China by the Tartars the Emper or# eon was taken prisoner by the Tar tar chief and made to carry his timbre lia while out hunting. In religious ceremo nies the ancients regarded It seriously, their gods being frequently shaded by tim bre,ki and canopies. Jn Hindoo myth ology we find that Vishnu one# paid a visit to ihe Infernal regions with his um brella over his head. We ran hardly Im agine what usefulness or protection the thing afforded In those study quartern, and to the question why he could not curry It ther* well s elsewhere we should be Inclined to reply th# game was as to the conundrum.

In Greece during the feagt of Athene S.'lra* a w-hlte parasol was borne a* a symbol by each of the priestesses of the gotdrss from the Acropolis to the Phale rum. In the Partathenaea the daughter* of foreign residents carried parasol* over the heads of Athenian women as n mark of inferiority. In the Roman classics ilso w* find that It *m a post of h-nor for maid servants to carry the umbrella over their mistresses. In more modern time*, however. It waa considered the greatest effeminacy for men lo carry a parasol or umbrella. Those w ho ventured to do so were looked upon probably as we should now look upon a man who carried a powder p iff or a vinaigrette, though Ovid ip hla advice -to a lover did suggest to htm to make himself agreeable by hold ing his lady's parasol “Ipr* ten* dis tent* title umhracula vlrgls." It Is atrange to think that the f-ilr sex alone required protection from the ele ments, and we learn with no little sur prise that the traveler Jonas Hanw.ty who died In ITS*, la said to he the firat Englishman who habitually carried an White Blanket*.
