barely aeasusing one inch and half in width.
Either Benoiton chains are suspended underneath
these narrow strings, or else long talle or lace

There are great many varieties Of white hodices
now in vogue. Among the simplest and most LADY,
like are those made of spotted white muslin with
collar, cuffs, epaulettes, and the band down the

holland. The tunic should be fastened at the left

it hold the water, as flannel, andiso become cum
