Student Name Cali Hughes Summary A newly installed fashion column provides new ways to keep women from suffering heatstroke due to their clothes in the summertime. Item Type Article Image No URL https://virginiachronicle.com/cgi-bin/virginia?a=d&d=RP18980806&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Topic Women Times Repeated 1 Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Thin apparel for the hottest of hot seasons. How to keep cool is a problem which perplexes many women who suffer intensely from warm weather, yet do not wish to spend their summer in the seclusion of their bedroom and a lawn wrapper. Thin underwear, if cambric or lawn, if of course an understood thing, and open work corsets, the shorter the better, should be adopted, as thereby much discomfort is escaped. The variety known as the cycling or riding corset is hardly more than a girdle and is comparatively cool. So much transparent fabric is worn this summer that there are sheer dimities without number to choose from, and thin grenadines also, but if these are still too thick white or cream dotted wash net such as is used for ties and fichus will be found entirely satisfactory. It must be made without a lining, of course, and may be prettily shirred and gathered. A silk underdress is not at all requisite and adds much to the heat of the costume, beneath which a pretty muslin petticoat and corset cover will have an equally good effect. Of course, such a gown can only be worn in the house, as transparent costumes are in the worst taste for the street, even in the country. These dresses of cotton net are cooler than those of silk, which require silk beneath and have the additional advantage of laundering to perfection. The bathing suit illustrated is of white serge. The trousers are plain, and the skirt is edged with three bands of red braid. Red braid and anchors decorate the tunic, which is full and has a girdle of red silk. The short-puffed sleeves are gathered into a cuff. A white cap and white shoes are worn. Judic Chollet.

A woman weighing 200 pounds driving on West Chicago avenue behind a diminutive horse furnished amusement for a small crowd yesterday, said the Chicago Daily News. She got as far as Grand avenue. The little horse concluded to stop. Upon being urged to proceed by his weighty burden, he merely sat down upon his haunches. Another “get up” from the woman caused him to lie down flat. The woman got out and a crowd began to gather. A couple of men unhitched the animal, got him up, harnessed him into the buggy and helped his owner back to her seat. Again she clucked affectionately and again the horse lay down. The unhitching and rehitching process was repeated as was also the animal’s part of the show a moment later. After the routine had been gone through with four times and concluded with the same spiteful kicking by the little horse a broken shaft and ruptured harness, a well-meaning man stepped out from the crowd and patted the horse lovingly on the head, saying: “Poor, little pet: whoa, pet.” The crowd laughed and the fat women angrily exclaimed: “A mischief of a pet he is. I’d like to jerk him inside out.” After many suggestions from the crowd, the irate woman finally hired an expressman to hitch the buggy to his wagon, tie the horse on behind and take the outfit home. When the procession got started west it was followed in the street by an exceedingly angry and dusty woman.

Too Little Money. Over Two-Thirds Leave on Pay Day. New Ones Come In, But Not Enough To Fill Vacancies. The Old Dominion Shirt Co., opened a branch of its factory at 727 North 3rd St. Sewing machines were put in place and run by a 7-horse power gas engine. At its main factory in Manchester, Va., it had much trouble with the white girls on account, it is alleged, of the low wages paid. In this case however, it was advertised that girls could make from $3 to $6 per week, and it was but a short time before 250 colored girls had registered their names although only from 40 to 60 were needed. The establishment has been running about three weeks or more and the girls became restless as to the amount of compensation. They were given books in which were placed the result of their labor. On Saturday last they got an idea of how much they would be paid, which was 3 ½ cents for sewing twelve pair sleeves, one cent per dozen for hemming and six cents for making one dozen shirts, the patterns being cut out before hand. As a result of this on Monday for two and three weeks’ work some of the girls received from 80cts. Up to $1.60, a few received as much as two dollars. Tuesday morning, out of over forty girls employed, not over ten or twelve reported for work. New ones were sent for and the number on Wednesday last increased to about twenty, but there are as many vacant spaces at the machines. The hours of work were from 7 o’clock to half past five, one half hour being allowed for lunch.

I simply got up early one morning and made a good fire in the stove, put on a kettle of water, brushed around and brought in a couple of pails of water, brushed around and brought in a couple of pails of water, and went to the garden. Of course, I was expecting her to notice me, but not so. The following morning I did the same thing, but found a large notch cut in the well curb when I went for the water. I immediately got after the small boy, but he declared his innocence and said his mamma did it. I called on her for an explanation, and she said it was to remind me of my kindness to her and the fact that they were the only two buckets of water I had drawn in two years, and I notice that ugly gash every morning but I’m still keeping up the same old way.” Location Lower Left Quadrant Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
