Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1888-03-31

came back the answer in dulcet tones
aud the reporter swallowed Glove as he
discovered he was conversng with a
lady.
81 don't want to trouble you too much,
but I'm really in aquandary as to what to
wear on Easter, and--
"This is no dressmaking or millinery
establishment; you are talking with the
ARGUS office"
II know that. but none of the fashion
emporiums have telephones, and haven't
time to come to the city"
where do you live, Moline9'
mo, reside in Milan, mother is out
at Uncle Joe's, and l have to stay home
this week to look after my little brother,
and tell you he worries the life out of
me. He stole my curling iron this
morning, audi
well. what can | do for you? The
fashion editor is out attending caucus
in the Fifth ward. and don't expect to
see him for a week, but | will give you
all the information | can"
A sigh of deep proportions came over
the wire upon this doleful intelligence,
and then the sweet voice said, Il want to
know the very latest styles in dress and
head gear"
Oh, if that's all, | can accommodate
you. OF course you want dress that
will make all the other Milan bellies en-
vious."
Eyes, want to look nice; l admit
there is considerable satisfaction in being
finely attired."
"Well, by the accent of your voice, l
think you would look well in combina-
ton suit of a butterfly hue, with an easy
fitting bodice cut diagonally. This is
strictly for house wear, and you should
not appear on the streets in 1t unless afS
ter dark, The latest thing for the prom
enade is pretty conceit called tea
gown, and you should have at least half
a dozen of these garments for they soil
easily They are made of dehcate fab
rIc, and look gorgeous en- train. You
can't wear them in muddy weather, une
less you hire a small boy to carry the
train, but then boys are plentiful in Mi
Ian. The sleeves should be flowing, so in
case you have TO wash the supper dishes
you can roll them up with ease"
care you sure that is the latest style?"
"Oh, yes. saw some of the leaders
of society in Rock Island attired that way
today"
Then there are other nice styles,
broadcloth in different colors, tricots,
trimmed with braids plush goods of vari,
Gus hues, faille silk, etc, which all
make up elegantly
"What about bonnets?"
"Oh, yes, | forgot the bane of mans
existence, the spring bonnet. Poke bon
nets are in style again those scoop
shovel affairs without handle. If you
don't like this kind you can get one that
threatens to poke out every mans eye
that comes within two feet of you. Then
'hCiS orc liOsC iALtlC iOhGs, WHICH
judge are too cute for anything, for l |
heard bevy of girls discussing their
beauty the other day. Birds are very
stylish ornaments. 1t you have a brother
who owns gun, he can help |
you in this respect. The more
birds you get the 'hy-er"
you'll look. Flowers are used in trim |
ming in great profuseness, but you will |
be compelled to wait until the frost gets |
out of the ground to pluck something |
pretty, as [ don't suppose You want to
wear anything artificial Ii you have
blue eyes and a rather reckless manner,
would suggest sailor hat with yellow
ribbons"
"Oh, there's no charge for the informa>
ton; I'm paid for telling all know.
When you make up your mind to get
another Mother Hubbard, 1 can give you
some valuable hints. Goodbye"
