expert on umbrellas and has made
the umbrella problem a study. In
Conversation yesterday he gave US a
few off his umbrella theories as
follows: To place your umbrella in
a. rack Indicates that it is about to
change owners; an UNI brella carried
over a woman, the man getting
nothing but the drippings OF. rain
signifies courtship; when the. man
has the umbrella and the woman
the drippings, it indicates marriage;
to carry it at an angle under the
arm signifies that an eye is to be
lost by the man who follows yon;; TO
put cotton umbrella by the side OF
a silk one means exchange is no
robbery" to lend an umbrella may
be interpreted: IT am a. fool" TO
carry an mbrella just high enough
to tear out mems eyes and knock
off mems hats signifies, 7 am a
woman"
