 Answers.

Guimpes of silk wherever real or simulated are thus produced, in which case of course. the sleeves should correspond and in skirt com binations, a shirrod front breadth of silk is often made to contrast with side ' and back draperies of batisl. \ dTapery of the lighter material slightly loop l ed in Marguerite style over a silllen un dershirt. is another mode of uniting and in such case, there should be hounce at the bottom in finish.
