Anna receives a hat.

Online newspaper archives are a wonderful source for information pertaining to your story.  I needed first person accounts of an incident that is an important part of Grass Widow Wives.  Google News Archives supplied an endless variety of accounts of the incident in question.  All for free.

Did you wonder what ladies hats looked like or sold for in 1894?  Guess where the answer is?  In the newspapers from that time.

Anna is receiving a new hat as a gift from her suitor.  Now I know what it might have looked like.
