Arkansas ladies' journal. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1884-1886, 1884-11-08

Many of the fancy millinery stores in the
city are making a display of trim little
princesse-Shaped bonnets, toques, bebe, and
gypsy bonnets, covered with velvet, plush
or stuffed material. These are ready for
trimming and are most ipgeniously con-
trived, the shapes being so various that
almost any person, no matter what her
cast of features may be, will be sure to find
some one style to suit her. The price of
these specialties is not high one can easily
afford shape to match each costume, and
for hard wear and general service they are
certainly superior to anything Of the kind
ever offered at the price. They are also
very appropriate accompaniment to the
hussar jacket, and should match its color.

with 1t, and had spite to wreak upon it.
His emotion and his friendliness won upon
the lonely woman's heart, and by-and-by
he began to pour out golden promises upon
her, She was silent for long time, but
at last he grew SO warm that he asked her
