Care of Silk Umbrella.

When coming in with a wet umbrella, stand it handle down to dry, then wipe off the handle ferrule, and furl the silk sections. If the silk gete : a spot on it, remove It with a silk rag, warm water and soap. Clean a gold or Bilver handle with whiting, wash a china handle in warm soap suds, rub up a wooden handle with a very slight-, ly oily rag. A good way to mend a silk umbrella is to wet a piece of black court plaster and fasten it to the silk Just under the tear and let it dry.
