FOUR MEDFORD MAIl. TRIBUNE Thurdy, f.b. 14. 194S Hats As Zaney In 1890 As Today Copies Of Old Magazines Reveal Women a hats were lust zany in 1890 as they are In the spring of 1846,- and copies of "The Delineator," a journal of "fashion, culture and fine arts" published years ago by the But' terick company of London and New York, prove It. Copies of this magazine, along with 1888, 1871 and 1880 publications of the monthly magazine, "Demor- est's" were uncovered recently during remodeling of the home of Earl Bradfish, 110 Ashland avenue. The October, 1891, Issue of The Delineator includes every' thing for feminine readers from baby lullabies and directions for fancy work to the social code of mourning, to say nothing of pages of advertisements. Filling a half page of the Is sue is an advertisement of an "electropoise," a "simple and easily applied home treatment" which augments vitality by "sup plementing the work of the lungs." Directions to change the "faded, wrinkled woman" Into one that Is fresh and wholesome are given in an article titled "nerves." ' "The most tnvldous foe tp a fresh face Is Insomnia," the article says, and continues with directions for eating, sleep ing and living In general. Fashion plays a very Import ant part in the publications, with considerable space contributed to the extreme styles of the 1870's. Gowns with huge sleeves and collars and flowing skirts, ha! j of great' size featuring plumes, birds, flowers and yards of ribbon are pictured. Illustra tions of the latest fashions are made so to be easily copied by the readers. In an Item titled "The Wom anly woman," the writer warns lady readers against appearing anything but feminine In appear ance. "Knowing that the world bas an unwise but very preval ent habit of Judging a woman by the dress she wears, and that she who affects a masculine style of raiment Is almost cer tain to lose a portion of that ten der respect with which all wom en should be regarded, she In variably arrays herself In a garb that Is strictly feminine." "Therefore, she avoids the dis play of a penchant for "man nish" gowns and hats, nor does she tramp through life attracting the attention of the opposite sex with her unwomanly bear ing." Books noted In April, 1891, included "Over the Tea-Cups." by Oliver Wendall Holmes: "Hindu Literature," prepared by Elizabeth A. Reed; and others written by Rudyard Kipling, Bret Harte and Lewis Carrol, author of "Alice in Wonder land." In speaking of a book titled "The Round Trip from the Hub to the Golden Gate," written by Susie S, Clark, the Delineator states that the "consnlcuoua lack of dignity In the title, and simi lar lack In the signature of its author, does not predispose a stranger in favor of Its contents."
