MOST CHARMING POKE.
In Tying Which Under Her Chin the
Wearer Ties "a Heart Within.


Wearer Ties Heart Within.
From the Buffalo Courier.
The term bonnet has been applied to every
sort of feminine headgear from few flakes of
white lace across the top of the head or an
arch of an artificial flower circling the back of
the neck to a formidable structure like coal
scuttle, in the depth of whose shadows pref
ty face glows like strawberry peeping out
from nook in the meadow grass. Touching
the genus bonnet we have nothing to say; but
we have few unscientifc suggestions to offer
in regard to one of the species of which il is
composed-the poke bonnet. This bonnet is
named, we presume, from the fact that it is
architecture conveys the idea of holiness and
projection. The term is considered an Amer
icanism; but the combination of words is a
natural one, as Moore makes Miss Biddy
Fudge. at time when this form of head dress
was very much exaggerated by fashion, speak
of bonnets:
high up and poklng.
Like things that are put to keep chimneys
from smoking.
Without doubt it was the exaggeration of
the type couple of generations ago that
drove the poke bonnets out of fashion. There
is always tendency to push a prevailing
mode to an extreme, and so make it ridicu-
lous as preliminary preparation for change
OF style. Poke bonuets were exaggerated
into positive ugliness and passed away, and
women learned to speak irreverently of
anything unbecoming as "Poky." In
our day, when feminine taste has
developed in wonderful way, and women
are going back through all the ages and
searching in the costumes of all chimes for
hints as to the most becoming attire, there
has been revival of the poke bonnet, but
in moderate shape. All the charms of the
old fashion are preserved, and none OF its
grotesquenes IS has been copied.
To the masculine critic we think no other
species OF bonnet recommends itself so strong
lv One of its greatest merits in his eyes is
that il conveys the idea Of comfort. 1t covers
a woman's head, comes all round her face and
is tied under the chin, giving her a snug COM
Portable look such as she has in no other head
gear. The projecting cave of the bonnet-we
are obliged to fall back on the architectural
term, as our millinery vocabulary is very linn
ited-shadows the face and gives an air of
modesty that is charming to man in inverse
proportion to his own impudence. AT the
same time, as now constructed, the poke bon
net does not hide womans face in The
affected way of our grandmother's time, but
allows man to get fair look at passing
beauty without ducking his head under por-
tico of straw and ribbon more tantalzing than
an umbrella on wet day. We trust the poke
bonnet will go on conquering and to conquer.

COMPLIMENTARY Notes.

1t gives us pleasure to call the at.
tention of our readers to the series of
advertisements of the James Boss
Gold Watch Cases now appearing in
our columns. This watch case has
been on the market for nearly thirty
years and has attained reputation
which IS second to none, it now be-
ing universally conceded to be tho
standard. The James Boss Gold
Watch Cases are made of two plates
of solid fourteen karat gold, soldered
on each side of a plate of hard nickel
composition metal. These plates of
gold are thick enough to admit of en-
craving, chasing, ETC., and supply all
the gold needed for practical use,
while the composition plate furnishes
the strength and solidity needed in
every watch case, and yet lacking in
those made of solid gold. Although
these cases are good, and in some
points better than solid gold case,
the cost is only about one-hslf as
much. Many of the James Boss Gold
Cases have been in constant use for
twenty-five years without wearing
through the gold. The manufacturers
furnish a. guarantee with each case
warranting it to wear twenty years,
and this guarantee means just what it
says, for unlike other guarantees fur
nished 80 often with watch cases, this
is signed by the manufacturers Of the
James Boss Gold Watch Cases. Pur.
chasers should avoid any watch case
unless the guarantee is signed, as 9th.
erwise it is not only worthless but is
intended so to be, and the absence OF
a reliable signature is fair Indication
that the manufacturer lacks faith in
his claims or in his goods.

ready been made. The POlled Angus,
Jerseys, Herefords and Ayrshires will

try thus far, IS by Geo. E. Baker, of
Hutisford, Wis, who is the leading
Merino breeder of the west. Other
breeds will be represented and the
pens will be filled with Oxfords, Scotch
Black Faces, Cotswolds and other
breeds, thus giving sheep farmers q
show worth miles of travel to see. In
swine the display promises be both
large and attractive. Ample arrange
ments will be made to feed the vast
crowds of visitors. Three large eat
ing houses are to be erected and every
body will he able to get u square

OF all things that our fair managers
may do we hope they will not repeat
the fiasco of last year and invite a
speaker from abroad. Last year
Gov. Wakefield was invited to deliver
anad dress. The managers " ere so &C.
cupied with their several duties con-
nected with the fair that but little at
tention was paid the speaker, and
when the hour Of speaking arrived
there were but few gentlemen In the
hall. 1t is true there was a good re-
presentation of ladies and children
present, but the Governor afterward
said that if he had known that he was
to address an audience composed
almost wholly of ladies and children
he would chosen different subject to
talk on.

Commenting upon our last weeks
item on ssThe beauties of telegraphy,'
the Lyon County Netos says:
'sIt's nothing new, Brother Review.
But you must stand it, and not charge
it to the late strike, which was all ov-
er before your message was filed.
Saturday at 6 p. M. we filed message
for Owatonna. from Tracy, to be
answered at Kasota that evening, CIV
ing about 6 hours for reply. At Ka-
sofa we found no answer, and at
Owatonna the dispatch was not re-
ceived till 10 a. m. next day, and not
delivered till about p. m. Enquiry
of the up town operator at Owat0nna
was only met with impudence, and
evidently the operator spends more
time retailing peanuts and lemonade
then in attending to telegraph bust,
ness. Vigorous growing, and report
ing in PRINT all unnecessarily delayed
messages will soon improve the SER
vice, or we mistake the quality Of d.
vision superintend dents.
