A New Jersey man believes that he •holds the world’s record for the length of time anyone has kept one umbrella. He has had his for 45 years and has carried it with him more than 800,000 miles and in 110 different countries. It hasS probably never occurred to him that the time he has spent in looking after it would have bought him at least 16 new ones. Besides, he doesn’t hold the record. There is a man in Boston who has had the same umbrella for 60 years. The ribs are of whalebone, and it is so large and heavy that only a vej.y strong man, could steal it, and so homely that no one would want to.
