They Game, They Saw and Were
Conquered

Feminine Americas knelt yesterday
at the shrine whereon reposed in all it's
gorgeous beauty, radiant in colors and
work of art wIthaI, the fall bonnet.
The occasion had long been a dream
by night and an ideal anticipated in
fondest ecstacY during the waking
hours, and feminine Americas rallied
early and stayed late Tue old and
young, fat and fair, the lame and halt
came in numbers, drawn irresistabIy
by the bonnetical magnet. From a.
m. until dewy eve the ladies looked,
lpved and fingered still; from Ameri-
cul and towns surrounding they rallied
by hundreds at the bonnet works,
where the darlings in feathers and rib
bons were skilIfully compounded, and
laid their dollar at the altar of fash
ion. The openings were grand sue
cess, the day fete occasion, and in
sweetest slumber last night the fair
and tired dreamer saw only visions of
angels with wing feathers fashioned
wholly of fall bonnets.
