ed skirt of rich black drap DO sole, and
tight.Gtting polonaisc OF black velvet,
scalloped out round the bottom, edged

with Valenciennes lace about two inches
wide, put on almost plain. The polonaise
was very long behind, and just caught up

shape, semi.tight down to the elbow, and
thence finished by deep Grilling, edged
like the outline Of the polonaise. Rufiles
OF deep Valenciennes lace al the throat
and wrists completed this elegant toilet"
