Bonnet made by Miss Almifa Wood
ward, of East Haven, Connecticut, ~
imitation of Leghorn Bonnets, is left at
the Office of the New York Daily Adver-
tiser, for the inspection Of all persons who
feel any interest in the success 81 this
species Of American manufacture. We
have no doubt that this elegant specimen
of ingenuity in one OF four young country
women, will excite universal admiration.
In point of texture. this Bonnet isBupe-
rior to the Wcthcrslield Donnetthat was
last winter exhibited at this Office. Miss
Woodward has not bleached her grass
SO uniformly as Miss Woodhouse did
hers but we understood this slight de-
fec: can be easily removed. Indeed it
would have been done before the exhibi-
ton, had it not been lorthe desire that
it might be seen exactly d il came from
her hands. Without ,prlfessing much
skill in the materials or work manship OF
these Bonnets, we can truly say, that we
have no recollection Of having ever seen
Leghorn Bonnet of SO fine a texture
We understand Miss Woodward gained
pre,ainm for this specimen of her in
genui,y nj a late cattle shbw at Nsw-Ha-
ven; and il is intended, ifter i, has been
inspected, to have it sold, tor her 6eneft,
at auction, IN this city.
