bird, cat or dragon in each square,
are made up in long travelling cloaks
that cover the dress, and are only fast
en- d once at the throat by long rib
bons tied in bow.

Sicilienne skirts are four bias gathered
frills, made quite soant, an eighth of
yard wide when finished, and sewed on

edge. For summer are similar ruliles,
made straight, very deeply Tapped, and

nounces that do not lap and are
notched and pinked in leaf points.

nounces on checked silk skirts, with
one row of velvet ribbon two inches
