An Umbrella Story.
From the Boston Ira nscript.


Here is queer true story about some
umbrellas: A lady who keeps a summer
boarding house at the seashore near Bos-
ton went down the other day to look the
house over and find out what must be re.
newed. She found numerous umbrellas left
by former boarders, and, tying them to.
gether. she took the bundle to Boston to
have them repaired. She stopped In at
HoveyS and laid the bundle on the floor at
her feet at the counter. When she had
made her purchases she forgot her Jim.
brelias, and absentmindedly picked up an
umbrella lying on the counter. thinking 1t
was hers, or not thinking at all, and starts
ed off.
Then the owner of the umbrella, a wo-
man standing next her seized her and
said very sharply, You have taken my
umbrella!' OF course she apologized. feel.
ing very much cut up about it, and went
on. forgetting in her fiuster her own bundle
of umbrellas. The next day, on her way
to Cambridge. she went to Hovey's and
readily recovered her lost package of UNI
Lrellas, which had been kept for her. On
the car for Cambridge she noticed a lady
cycling her very closely. Presently this
lady leaned forward and said to her, with
elegant emphasis:
"You seem to have been more fortunate
todayv'
It was the lady whose umbrella she had
taken the day before.
