establishments, and from these are sent away
annually nearly eight million bonnets and hats.
Inc manufacture of straw bonnets is contin-
ed TO this section of New England, because it
was here that the American branch of the bus
mess originated. In 179S, Miss Betsey Met
calf, of Providence, Rhode Island now Mrs.
Baker Of West Dedham, Massachusetts,, saw
an imported Dunstable bonnet in Providence
store, and straightway wished one like It
Taking some oat stubble from field where
her fathers laborer's had been reaping, she
split the straw with her thumb-nail and made
her first attempts at plating. Alter several
failures she succeeded in initiating the braid
of the admired affair in the shop, and made
herself bonnet. Thus the ingenious girl, on
ly twelve years ofage, acquired the honor OF
being the first American manufacturer OF straw
bonnets. Che is now an old lady of seventy
eight and still braids, having presented us
with specimen of her handiwork, beautiful
straw ornament, on late visit to her. Many
persons urged her to get patent on her pro-
cess OF braiding; but being then as now, quite
tenacious of her reputation as Christian, she
said her name should never go to Congress-
A fac sinaile of Mrs. Bakers first bonnet is

Manufacture of Straw Bonnets.

Inc following is an extract from an article
In Harpers Mag gazine for October:
There was time when the manufacture of
bonnets was purely domestic affair." The
straw was grown, prepared, braided and SOW
ed by the same family, and the bonnet stifFan-
ed with common starch and ironed with a
common fat. But as the days of homesnun
have passed away, so have these days Of home.
made bonnets. Although no great inyention
has been produced to mark progressive lean
in the manufacture ofstraw bonnets-althouah
the machinery now used is simple and not
large in quantity, yet Improvements have been
gradually taking place, until now every ope-
ration has been so systematized that we have
bonnet factories as truly as cotton factories
factories containing great living machine,
each portion of which has peculiar functions
and is fitted for certain parts of the work.
These factoties have particular localities where
they are most fully developed, or perhaps it
would be better to say, have particular To-
cality: for, aside from two establishments in
Connecticut and two or three in New York
city, they are all confined to Southeastern
Massachusetts,. Here we find dozen towns,
relying upon not quite score of bonnet facto-
ries for their principle means ofsupport; towns
in which straw is queen as truly as cotton is
king in many other of our manufacturing vii
lagos. Twelve thousand persons would be a
fair estimate OF the number employed by these
