the pattern has picot edges and the
braid portion Of black nohair. 9th
ers are of mixed black brown or dark
blue and gold or silver One neat
pattern has one line of black SOU
tache, with picot edge of gold cord.
Another has a gold double corded
center, with black picot edges, and
this is wrought into a series of loops.
One style has a scalloped edge. with
pointed loops formed of pointed gold
cord, with black edges. There are
some elegant sprays like flowers of

made of white curled ostrich f1ues.
There was a pointed yoke collar
made Of heavy gold passementerie,
