time the supposed remains Of her husband was
well placed away in packed coffin, and the
body being i'll such state Of decomposition
that her friends told her it Was matter of i'm

so tanci!nl and cXtravagant is the dress of the
women. Long black silk basques and circu-
lars are worn, most claboratcly trimmed as is
also all the skirts of the drcsse. Small straw
