UMBRELLAS OF To-DAY.
Formerly All Made of SILK or Cotton-Many
Now Made of Mixed Fabrics.

Formerly umbrellas were made Of either
cotton or silk. Now a very large proportion OF
the umbrellas carried are made OF a mixture
OF cotton and silk. The mixtures are made in
various weights and weaves and in various
combinations OF the materials. Some are half
cotton and half silk, and some contain as little
rs 10 per cent. of silk. The umbrellas made OF
these mixtures cost more than cotton UNI
brellns and less than those OF silk. They are
lighter than cotton and they wear better and
look better. Those made OF the finer qualities OF
Jhe mixtures may very easily be mistaken for
silk.
OF all the umbrellas produced In this country
about 40 per cent. of the mixed fabrics. the
rest being OF silk. The proportion Of UNI
brellas made of the mixed fabrics is. still In
creasing. All the cotton fabrics used in max
ing umbrellas In this country are manutac-
tured here. The mixed fabrics arc all imported
and OF the silks about half are imported.
Umbrella silks are made in many weights
and weaves. Years ago silk umbrellas In dark
green and dark garnet were not
but now umbrellas of such colors are rarely IL
ever seen, The most common color for UNI
brellas Is black, though there, are made for
women some silk umbrellas, designed for either

There were formerly made fine silk UNI
