But the man in the boat paid no at

The accompanying design shows n
tailor made costume in beige cloth of
q light texture. The skirt is quite
tight, like a fourreau in the upper
part, moderately large half way down,
and widens considerably to the bottom.
1t is made in two parts. The upper
part is composed Of a yoke set in round

composes the lower part. The yoke
is joined to the hounce by nine rows
of stitching, which run around the

which forms small godets behind, is
fiat in front, and forms narrow

crenelated basques stitched like the
