a not ovcrfull skirt made walking length,
There were Swo bands of black velvet
upon the seams at the front OF the skirt.
There was u basque waist, with fun
plated polka whose two front ends hung
In deep points cnding in gilt ornaments.
At the waist was "a girdle of velvet and q
pelerine cape over the shoulders, and over
this was a folded bretelle of brown surah.
This was laid in four fiat bias folds. The
sleeves were almost scanty in comparison
with many Others. Side by side with that
was blouse waist made of ruby plush.
The sleeves wero large and draped up in q
manner to get the most material in them
possible. On the left breast was gilt and
steel butterfly, quite a remarkable orna
ment altogether. This blouse was worn

and navy blue with Grape weave. In
black there SIS black imperial surah serge
and several now weaves in bright swivel
and granite cloths. The silk warp henri
