Supplementary collars and cuffs OF linen

these frocks, and others have embroidered
white linen collars but it Ia doubtful
whether such accessories add to the cschet

Quantities, those with inset lace designs
being often very expensive and favored
FOR wear with elaborate froclis. White
stockings embroidered in very tiny scat

popular SAKE blue is perhaps the color most
often seen upon the white ground.

appear here, as elsewhere, and Empire coats,
