The example sketched is of fawn cloth trimmed in novel and effective fashion with guipure lace and appliques of em- broidered linen, the latter introducing a suspicion of blue with black stitch cry A feature to be specially noted is the characteristic style of the sleeves, which are made very wide and full and drawn into deep gauntlet worked with the linen applique, turned back at the wrist and laced across with small black silk cords and tassels. beneath which is revealed close fitting cuff of Heep toned cream lace.

there some rare coins. They are very old;
