HOW TO MEND A BROKEN UMBRELLA.
Umbrella handles may very often be repaired with glue. If, however, it is a clean break, a new handle may be necessary. A fresh elastic band and button to hold the folds in place may be bought quite cheaply and sewn on at home, and
similarly with a tassel. Slits in the cover may be carefully darned and strengthened by a patch of silk on the inside, put on, of course, with the umbrella half closed. It is sometimes possible to straighten out a bent tube, but in the case of a broken stick or broken ribs, we must take the umbrella to an umbrella repairer.
