Editor Enquirer. I called on h friond
a few days ago, and was admiring both
her economy and ingenuity as displayed
in renovating' Homo old style apparel.
"But,” said she, "this is nothing com

1 wanted to soo tho hat. "This bonnet,”
said she, holding it up, "was bought three

velvet. I took tho straw capo .id made
a ‘sky scraper’ of it by putting it in front.
I made tho blue velvet oape out of tho
