mourning in France. The ponular
lengths are gauntlet and mouscue-
taire, the latter sometimes having
such intriguing details as scalloped
or pointed tops and narrow bands
or motifs of cut steel bead embroi-
derry. For an example. black elace
kid gloves are embroidered with q
fairly open triangle Of cut steal
