brella was made is a seemingly hope
less task, but we find records Of their
use among the Greeks and Romans
not alone rs projection from sun or

royalty. BY the time of Queen Anne's
reign they had become quite common
simply as a protection, but they were
all imported until about 1902, when
the manufacture Of them was begun in
