How to Shop for an Umbrella
An umbrella may be the per
fect gift for someone on your
Christmas list this year. But
before you buy one, think about
the fiber content and the weave,
the color and the style of handle.
Though vinyl plastic is
waterproof, it has disad
vangages. It is fragile and
becomes brittle in cold weather.
Vinyl plastic is easily damaged
with heat and sharp objects.

brellas are of nylon fabrics,
says Mrs. Ruth Ann Wilson, Penn
State University Extension
clothing specialist.
Acetate, silk, cotton and rayon
fabrics are also used to make
umbrellas.
In addition to fiber content,
check the weave. The fabric must
be tighly woven if it is to repel
ram. You can check the closeness
of weave by holding the umbrella
to the light
State
When checking the open um
brella, look for pinholes or breaks
m the fabric. Open and shut the
umbrella several times to see if
all parts function easily.
Look for fluted ribs with a
hollowed out appearance. Solid
ribs are apt to break. Check the
number of ribs. They vary from
eight to sixteen. And examine the
construction to see if the cover is
securely fastened, cautions Mrs
Wilson.
A brightly colored umbrella
shows up more quickly than a
dark one And this can be safety
factor on a dark, rainy day
Check the style of handle—it
should be practical as well as
pretty. The handle should be easy
to grasp—whether the umbrella
is open or closed
And the handle should be easy
to carry Mrs. Wilson says the old
fashioned crooked handle that
hooks over the arm for easy
carrying when closed is still a
good choice. And it’s easy to hang
up.

Deer hunting season again
Some farmers can get away for a
week and others only for a day
We hope they will all come home
refreshed from their trip to the
mountains
As my son Philip did an oil
painting of two deer, which he
had framed for me and hung in
our living room, I have a constant
reminder of woodland beauty. He
spent a lot of time painting it and
we all enjoy its warm tones

As I drive through the country,
I’m always noticing celery fields
It is a delightful fragrance, I

Anticipation of a coming party
or meeting can help us through a
big ironing or through the
morning job of straightening four
clothes-strewn bedrooms
Why, I can even remember the
wonderful feelings of expectation
when a new baby was on the way
Just waiting, waiting for that
precious moment when you could
hold the little one in your arms
It seems the essence of life
itself is looking forward to a
future event, be it good or bad
