Fifteen years ago not cotton
or a cotton-and-linen Hand

now more than half that are

Cotton has crept into some

chief, soft and silky, one that

yellow with use-Llnen.
We began by selling moth
ing but Linen as Linen. We

from Paris and Lodon to St.

size-not too big; and French
hem-one-half inch.
