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."
