AN UilliliELLA.
It Tells Some Interestinar Rem
inisce noes of Its Life.
L.ying here on the floor of a closet,
my head louse, one of my ribs in
twain and two others mended with a
bootlace, I am no longer the umbrella
I have been, ltut, though my expe
riences may seem dark. I am not, a
eynic. I have had my fray mwnents sua
well as my misfortunes. If men have
grumbler), at me because I would not
open, sweet words of love have been
whispered beneath my covering; and
if many have owned me, 01.; has paid
for me. Omitting all reference to my
early years, why chouid I not now, as
other vterans have done, set down
some reminiscences of tbe men and
women I have known? The first man
with whom I had any close acquaint
ance was a minister. He came into the
shop where I originally saw the light,
and said that he wanted an umbrella.
The kind he wanted was a very good
one, of pure silk, and his only stipula
tion was that it should lie as cheap as
alpaca.
"John, said my maker to his assist
ant, "show the gentleman a marquis,
and keep the price down.
1 am a marquis, and after trying
thirty-three of ut the minister selected
tue. While he was taking- sixpence off
tbe price he had a conversation w ith
my maker, which I did not under
stand at the time, though well I know
its meaning now.
You are the first minister," said my
maker, "who has bought an umbrella
to my knowledge for the last nine
months. 1
. "Why, said my new owner, as he
rolled ine up very tight (for he was a
young manj. 'it seems to me that all
mill inters carry umbrellas
"That's another th ng, says my
maker.
"You mean, says the minister, ques
tion ingly, "that we have them pre
sented to us." '
"That's a delicate way of putting it,
says my maker. "I don't think you
have been long a minister?" ;
"No," says the minister.
"After - you have been," says my
maker, winking to John. "I'll lose your
custom." ;
Then my owner and I went off along
the street. I have nothing to say
against him, except that he took meolf
in line weather, always .keeping me
tightly rolled up, and he spenthours in
his lodgings trying to roll ine tighter.
1 don't know that any of niy owners
loved me as this first one did, ami I
think the reason was because he alone
bought and paid for -me. He called
himself a minister, but as' it turned ont
lie was only a divinity student, and it
was at the college that we parted.
That was seventeen days after he
Imught me, and I can still remember
the affectionate glance he gave me as
he put me into the rack, where there
were about a dozen other umbrellas,
and two sticks with brass knobs. That
day it rained. The first to leave the
riKiin was the professor, a handsome
man of noble, countenance, and when
he saw the rain he turned back to the
rack and looked at the umbrellas. ; I
was the best, so, after looking at the
others, he picked me out, put me up
and walked home beneath me, a beau
tiful look still lurking on his benevo
lent face. '
This eminent college professor is No.
2 of the men I have known, and during
the three weeks in which 1 lielonged
to him he called me his new umbrella.
Once I heard his daughter (whose um
brella I should have liked lo Ik) ask
him why he took me everywhere ex
cept to college, and the good old man
replied that the students were given to
taking away other people's umbrellas.
Once during this time I set eyes upon
my first owner, and for a moment I
thought I was to be restored to him.
lie aud some other students came to
the house to tea, and when he saw ine
in the professor's rack he exclaimed. ,
"That umbrella," he said, pointing
to me, "is the very image of one I lofet
at the college the other day."
The professor was standing by, tell
ing his guests as they came in, one by
one, that it had been a frosty S.ay, ami
when he heard this remark about me
he said in his kindly voice that one um
brella is very like another. ,
"You students," he added, "ought to
be more careful about your umbrellaa.
I am constantly hearing complaints
about their going astray." i
Then he took them all into his study,
but after a little he came out and hid
me behind the hall clock. That, 1 1
thought, was the last I would pee of my
first owner, but it was not so. The
daughter of the house, to whom I have
already referred, had overheard the
talk about sue. and I saw her at she
time look queerly at her father. When
the student was going she came to the
door with him. and 1 heard them say
something about "the usual place at
five o'chick." Then she called him
back, and running to the clock felt for
me with her hand, just as if she knew
that her father often put umbrellas
there. She thrust me into the student's
hand, muttering something about pa
pa's being very absent-minded. Thus
I was restored to the student, but only
for a brief tspace.
On the following Friday afternoon he
took me to the class again, and once
more the professor was first to leave.
His eyes lighted up when he saw me,
and he half drew me from the rack.
Then he caught sight of another um
brella with an ebony handle, the owner
of which xv us also a student. He com
pared us for a moment, felt the ma
terials and finally went off with the
other one. When its owner could not
find it he said that I was the next best,
and half an hour afterwards I was
standing in a corner of his room.
Hardly can this gentleman be included
among the men I have known, for he
vanished from my sight,' or 1 vanished
from his. on the following evening. On
that evening a friend called on him, a
gentleman in a light suit aud a white
hat, with a mean mustache and a fool
lish expression of countenance a
maker of pipes, as I gathered from the
conversation. It was a fine evening
when he called, but not when o got
up to go; and not having an umbrella
he was distressed lest his hat should
suffer.
"Can you not lend me an umbrella?"
he asked; but my new owner shook his
head.
'You never brought back the last
one," he replied.
".Never mind, said the visitor; "give
me one and I'll bring them both back
together."
"I don't have one," said my owner.
"Why, what is that in the corner?"
"Oh, I had forgotten; but that is a
very valuable one. I paid twenty-five
shillings for it last week."
"It will do very well," said the gen
tleman, seizing hold of me. He prom
ised to bring or send me back next day.
but a week passed, aud every evening
found him strutting along the pier
with me in his right hand. Late one
afternoon, however,; when he was in
his workshop making another pipe, the
student came to the door and said
that he wanted his umbrellas. Then
the gentleman received him hospita
bly, bnt declared that he had taken
back both umbrellas three days before.
So solemnly did he insist on this that
the other knew not what to say and
went off in a daze.
The next man I knew was introduced
to me, so to speak, by his wife. My
owner had taken me to a dinner party,
and I was in the umbrella stand when
two of the company left. They were
the first to go. and I saw at once that
they were husband and wife. The
gentleman was taking his own um
brella fiom the stand (for he was weak
minded) when the lady handed me to
him saying: "This is a much letter
one." Thus it was that I again changed
owners. From this house 1 was taken
by the first gentleman that calleil, but
he lost me on the way. He went by
rail, and another gentleman in the car
riage left, taking me with him. He
was the gentlemau who had me in his
hand when we walked home from
soiree with young ladies. Three of
them he told (but at different times)
that he loved them passionately, but
could not afford to marry; and they all
promised to be sisters to him, which
pleased him vastly more, I think, than
if they had promised to marry him.
He left me at the outside of his door
one day because 1 was very wet, and
there I was found by a policeman, who
took me in charge and ran me into the
police station. The magistrate picked
me out as the best of six and took me
home, where I lay for a week, when I
was abstracted from the stand by a
town councilor.
He took me, the next day, to a meet
ing of his friends, when there was talk
of presenting something to an Irish
statesman, and at first I thought they
were to present me to h'un. but it turned
out to be something else. This town
councilor I heard boasting that he
.never carried any but the best um-
.brellas, and he also boasted that he had
not bought an umbrella since he was
sixteen years of age. A councilor took
me away from the council chamber,
and hail a rim of silver put uround me
with his name and address on it, "for,"
he said, "If you do not take some pre
'caution you are sure to lose your um
brella, the public are so careless or dis
honest." In his possession I remained
for nearly a month, bnt one day he
took me to a club, and I had not been
in the stand for more than five minutes
when a lawyer came out, and selecting
me with care walked away with me.
He took the silver rim off with his
pocketknife, and then carried me off
to a shop, where he instructed the shop
man to put a band around me saying
that I was presented to John Smith,
Esq., by his affectionate son-in-law,
June 24. 188AL My new owner was the
man who abused me because once I waa
open I was reluctant to shut, for now
I had become somewhat stiff. ' Once
he was in such a rage at me that
he hit me savagely against the hat
stand, and that was how my first rib
was broken so badly.
I was saved from this man by an
elderly lady, who took me away be
neath her waterproof, thinking I should
do fo-r an office umbrella for her son.
When they discovered, however, that
the rib was in two and that I was spot
ted with holes, they raged together at
the old gentleman for owning uch an
umbrella. I was kert at the ofiice un
til one of the clerks fell ovei me ind
broke two more ribs. My owner now
declared that I had been an admirable
new umbrella when he bought me the
week before, and the unhappy young
man had to give him another, where
upon he got me as a gift. I was sorry
for him, for he told his master tliat the
new umbrella had cost him fifteen shil
lings, but soon I discovered that he had
picked it out of the stand at a doctor's
" housed He tried to mend mc with a
boot lace, but my appearance was now
hopelessly plebeian, and I heard him
tell his sister, who lived with him. that
he was really ashamed to be seen on
the street with me.
One day our door stood wide open,
and so did the door that was only sep
arated from ours by an iron railing"; so
she took me into the next house and
left me in the umbrella stand there,
taking away a new umbrella in ex
change. It is in this house I am lying
now. They offered me to the milkman
and the postman, but neither would
have me: so I was carried contemptu
ously into the closet, whore I now lie.

Perhaps the talk liegan with the Sun
day papers, lice a use at breakfast on
Sundays the girls of the family were
at to divide the big sheets up and sit
reading out scrai to each other, while
their coffee grew cold in the cups. It
was a bad habit. It made breakfast
drag on to an interminable length,
causing the maid lielow stairs to le Imj
hind with her work all day and the
maidens above stairs to be late to
churcli.
Well, the girls were reading out bits
to each other. Maine had just con
tributed a thrilling one about the last
footpad, who choked a woman and ran
down the alley with her purse and her
rings.
"1 wouldn't mind anyone snatching
my purse," said Imngoiie. "because 1

"And make an embarrassing spec

ly away and looked out of the window
for a long, long time. A lot of people
got out at Ih-llevue place and more at
Division street. I thought maybe my
unwelcome admirer had gone by this
time, and I just glanced over at the
corner near the horses long enough to
catch his impudent stare. I know
1 blushed scarlet. I hoped Jim
and Fred wouldn't see, they arc troth
so quick t.nipcred. Other people lie
gan to notice. Several of them gluiiccd
from me to the tuan and smiled and
nudged each other. It was odd the
way he persisted and yet didn't do
anything more than stare. I was be
ginning to wish he would, so I could re
buff him.
"At Schiller street the only other
person in the earette got out. It was a
lady with the biggest pair of sleeves
I've seen yet.
" 'Schiller street already, remarked

head,' growled Jim. The man never
moved a muscle. Well, I began to
laugh. I think I was getting hyster

willingly. And Fred joined in. You
know Fred will laugh at anything.

the conductor.
"And then, girls and then the man

his mouth half open, and he had a glass

"Did you ever!" "How perfectly al

Presently from Imogene: "What kind
of sleeves did she have, Jane velvet?"
"No, corded silk."
"I ask In-cause I've just had new
