black satin, with green and gold in her
bonnet. Miss Fair wore scarlet and black.

before the sun, had rows of black braid
trimming. its petticoat put on to simulate
an overskirt. braided collar, with tabs
falling over on to the sleeves, set OF the

fair. with rolling sides. and coque plumes
curling backward behind her left ear.
