Nowadays, when the possession or an
umbrella is considered as necessary as
owning hat, it may not strike the every
day mind that there was once when an
umbrella was luxury. Even Tor years
after they were finally introduced In
France it was considered very effeminate
for man to carry one.
As a shade from the sun the umbrella is
Of great antiquity. We see 1t in the sculp-
lures and paintings of Egypt, and Sir
Gardiner Wilkinson has engraved define
ation of an Ethiopian princess travelling In
her chariot through upper Egypt to
Thebes, wherein tho car Is furnished with
% kind of umbrella fixed to tall staff ris-
ing from the center and in arrangement
closely resembling the chaise umbrella oil
the present time. The recent discoveries at
Nineveh show that the umbrella Tor para
sol) was generally carried over the king IN
time of peace or even in war
From the very limited use of the parasol
in Asia and Africa 1t seems to have passed
both as distinction and luxury into
Greece and Rome. The skidrion, or day
| shade of the Greeks, was carried over the
| head of the effigy of Bacchus, and the
| daughters of the aliens at Athens were re-
| auired to bear parasols over the heads OF
| the maidens of the city at the great festi-
| val of the Panathenea. We also sec the par
| asol figure in tho hands of princess on
| the Hamilton vases in the British museum.
| De Foe, IL will be remembered, makes Rob-
| inson Crusoo describe that he had seen
umbrellas employed in the Brazils and
that he had constructed his own umbrella
in imitation of them. Il covered 1t with
| skins, he adds, "the hair outward, sc
| that IL cast off the rain like penthouse
and kept off the sun SO effectually that
could walk out in the hottest of the
weather with greater advantage than
could before in the coolest"
