Improved qualities and colors in
fine silk gloves for summer wear are
sold in immense quantities, and often
by the box-assorted colors.

of the Leghorn hats, while others

duck had the front breodth of the
skirt covered with design outlined
with white feather edge braid, and
the revers, vest, and cuffs were
similarly decorated.
