An A.toni.hed Old Lady.

fashion, winch makes ner look ike u
mad poodle.-N. Y. News.
An Astonished Old Lndy.
An old lady whose home is in the
country, and who hadn't been in the
city for several years, came in yester-
day to do some trading, her principal
business being one of the few eventful
incidents in her life, the purchase Of n
new bonnet. She hadn't had a new
bonnet since she was in town the last
time, and that was sever years ago; nor
had she seen any of the n~ew-fangled
contrivances-"trifles light as air.
which the women wear nowadays in
the place of bonnets. As a new bonnet
was the ~engrossing theme in her mind
on entering the city, of course she was
ON the alert at once to see what the
fashion was. Imagine her cOnsterna-
ton, then, in standing on Main street,
watching the people as they passed by.
For a time she was perfectly speechless,
and then she was observed to throw up
her hands and exclaim:
"For the Lords sake! are the vim
Minis all crazy, gaddin' through the
streets with nothin' on their blessed
headsi What's become of all their bon
nets 1"
She went into a millinery store, and
accosted n "gentlemanly and obliging"
young lady in attendancep
.YOu see I come in the hull way from
Wetzel county to by q bunnet. Pve
worn this one goin' on eight year. It's
a little out of fashin, I reckon, and |
want one that is right in style. I didn't
know what the wimmin was wearin',
So | stood ont here q blessed hour to
see 'em pass, and l hope never to see my
old man agin if l saw one with a bum
nut on durin' the hull time! Some had
a dolls handkerchief laid on the top of
the head; others had what looked for all
the world like oyster patties trimmed
with blow'd glass, and I declare to
goodness if one woman with a big rut-
cabaga turnip on the back of her he'd,
in o fly net, wore any GOVERN 'cepting
a yaller circus ticket tied on acih a ribbin!"
When informed that the styles she
had seen were the latest thing in the
bonnet line, the old lady's establishment
increased, and she was thoroughly be-
wildered by the time she had examined
each of the varieties embraced in the
milliner's collection, particularly when
she learned the accompanying prices.
She looked at her old bonnet, which
had been preserved so carefully during
the changing fashions of seven years,
and compared it with the fashions of
to-day, when the old lady fairly wept.
She declared it was enough to drive one
crazy to see such vanities as the wo-
men are running to now days. ''Twan't
so when | was Il gall" said she. women
wore bunnuts in them days that xiv
cred their heads, and tied 'em under the
chin instid of fast'n 'em to the back
hair" She left in great disgust, and
she said she wonld 60 right back to
Wetzel and wear her old bonnet till
milliners got to making bOnnets again.
