"The Sun do move" and times
aud fashions do change.
\ new style of bonnet has made
its appearance upon the streets. 1t
looks something like the half of an
inverted parasOl.
When the fashion reaches perfec
ton 1t will resemble the half of an
inverted umbrella.
When the girls come up street,
with their new bonnets on, they
look pretty as cherubs and sweet as
pinks, with their faces all covered
with smiles at the new fashions
they are Introducing.
1t is a pity to remove a happy dc
lusiOn, but if they will 90 and hunt
through the old boxes or hair
trunks in which their grandmoth
els stored away their luggage so
years ago, they will very likely
draw forth from the musty store
rooms a fac siraile of the same bon
net, that is nov the latest style.
We do not know what the present
name of this new bonnet is, but a
long time ago, We remember, a pref
ty, curly headed young lady use to
say it was the "kiss me easy" style.
