example of the work done by the department Mrs

Woman Suffrage Convention in Washington called
the attention Of Tribune reporter the gown of
heavy blue and brown mixed Irish homespun tweed
which she was wearing. The gown was made in
the neighborhOod of the Giants Causeway. and
comprises a walking skirt, cycling or rainy day
skirt and Norfolk coat. Brown leather Of the
shade OF the brown wool finishes the bottom of the
cycling skirt, faces the jacket and the
buttons. The cycling skirt is unlined. The walking
skirt Is partially lined with silk and is finished at
the bottom with silk rufies. The cut fit and work
