How often have our bonnets and hats

After one Of these downpoUrs. on ar

as the moisture, gradually accommodating
in the silk just above the ferrUie, causes
il to rot and go into holes in a very
short time. It should be placed open in
a dry, airy room until il is thoroughly
dry Many people roll up their unbreI-
las while still damp. and then think the
silk must have been common when they
find it in holes
When put away, the umbrella should
be left unrolled. for If il IS constantly
kept in a tight roll the creases are apt
rapidly to wear through. Ones best
