HAS ALL SEASONS Umbrella "Lent" Seems to Be Kept at Any Time. Some Other Points, Good and Bad, Concerning One's Protector From the Sudden Shower or the Leu Annoying Steady Rain. Umbrella Is a common noun, singu- lar number, neuter gender, silk or cot- ton case â€" as tho case may bo. It Ih wise to have yours In tho "possessive" case also, if It Is a good umbrella. The word umbrella Is derived from the Latin "umbra," meaning a shade or shadow. This does not mean that it Is exclusively n shade from the weather, hut rather that you have not a shadow of a chance to get it back should yon leave the umbrella behind you any- where. Never leave an umbrella behind you. anyhow. Always keep it In front or beside you, where you can see it. Umbrellas were known to Ihe enrl.v Saxons and to many of the late ones coming home from Ihe lodge on wet nights. They joyfully seized any "gninps" they found lying around loose in the hall stand. In Queen Anne's reign umbrellas were assigned exclusively to the use of women, but in all subsequent rains men have been using them, too. New silk umbrellas are partkulnrly popular with humanity â€" especially on wet days. The most conscientious and scrupulous of men have been known to mistake nice, new umbrellas for their own faded and decrepit ones. Sometimes, In their temporary "fits of abstraction," they don't even leave n substitute. .Some unibndlas are waterproof and others not quite so. The rain runs off the better kind and through the cheaper sort. Nothing can be more depressing than to Join a parade of umbrella holders in a heavy shower, hoping to be Im- mune from the rain, and get deluged with umbrella Juice Instead. Old and worn umbrellas may some- times be 'easily recovered, but if y<ju mislay a good silk uinhrella It is very dlflicult to recover it. Some ))hiloso- phor has observed that the umbrella has religious tendencies, because It "keeps Lent" so easily. There are many ways of carrying the nmbrelia, but the most popular way â€" because tho most .senseless â€" is to carry It under tho arm horizontally. When you do this In a crowd some are almost sure to notice it and lell you about it. They speak feelingly, too. if lliey happen to get the end of your umbrella in (he .'.Iciiiiuili or back, forgetting how much more serious it miglit be if tliey got it In the eye. Umbrellas that open aulomationlly and wilhout warning sliould he prohjli- Ited. .'<nnielimes they develop most 1 surprising vilalily at unexpected times I nnd In int-onvenient places. This is I cnu.'ied by a hidden spring in tho j handle. They are useff.l novelties for tho I first week or so, Imt the novelty ..onn I wears off and so does the .spring. Then the umbrella becomes ill-mannered nnd aggressive, springing open iinpulsivoly. to the consternation and liumillatlon of the owner. Tin's Part In Woman's Finery. Few Women who are proud of the fact that they wear holscry, under- wear nnd flresses made of silk, renli/.e that old tin <iins contribute fnuii -0 to .Slid iier cent in weight to the glossy silks worn by Iheiii. The jirlce of silk has Incii'ased enormously and to I'li- alile them to sell heavy silks at a price that will yield a reasonable profit and yel be wllhin the means of the average purclias<<rs, the manufacturers resort to Ihe prneliee of weighting the silk with tin teliachlfu'lde, derived from old tin cans. Five thousand tons of tin were used f<u" tliat purpose In l'J17. Don't throw »wiiy the empty tomato cans ! War I* InformftI Affair. Thnt the niimbiT of full dress suits purchased in America since Uncle Sam threw down tlie gflunllet has fallen off IK) per cent is an indication of n reall/.atlon <in Ihe part of the nation that war U no dress affair.

A College avenue woman waa nntrr- tnliiing her card club. One of the woman members of the club brought her son John, about four years old, along. John got unruly, nnd his moth- er put him upstairs and t<dd him to sit Ihero until he could behave, while pho proceeded to piny bridge. John was quiet nbout IR minntes, when he buret forth singing ".Vmerlcn."

I have been told that in certain west- ern districts AineriCHii troops are billeted among the inliabltants, and 1 know that In their Imiior, inunicipiili- ties have ordered tlie vast heaps of manure that In most Brittany villages line one side of the road removed to the fieldsâ€" no small task, when It Is remembered that only women, chil- dren nnd old men are left to take care of the farm. rians are being developed to lniprovi> these farm houses, many ot which were built "JOO or .'iOO years ago. The Influx of Americans will thus serve to ameliornte the sanitary conditions in these districts, the people of which are rather conservative, but beloved by all France because they yive us our best soldiers.

Two farmer's wives were discussing the worries of trying lo make room In the house for the hired hnnil, nnd one of Ihein said: "I ilon't mind cookin.? the meats. If there was only some place for him lo stay nigliis aud rainy days. I've planned a building with a sitting room and bedroom, hut I wouldn't know what to call It, for you couldn't call it tho barracks."
