standing ruffs is immense. though, like
all other novelties, pretty articles bring
pretty prices.
Partisan Jackets are longer in front
than at the back, with high wide sleeves,
and are often made of Persian or Astra-
chan. Mantalasse Jackets and tight-ftt-
ting paletots have high Medlc1s collars in
velvet Drocade, and sleeves Of the same
material. Other Partisan styles have col
