Descriptions from page 225

No. 3.

A round gown of French cambric, a walking length, ornamented at the feet with muslin in reversed puckers; a short full sleeve, with long York tan gloves above the elbow, reaching towards the edge of the sleeve (but the long plaited sleeve is considered as more appropriate to this style of costume). A Helmet hat of basket willow, ornamented with amber-coloured ribband, and a small sun-flower, or demi sturtion wreath in front. A long Angola shawl, a deep orange colour, with shaded fringe and border; worn in the Russian style. A gold neck-chain, and heart with patent springe which, when pressed, opens and discovers the eye of your lover, relative, or friend, beautifully executed on ivory, and finished with an enamelled border. Shoes of black velvet, or purple kid, with velvet bindings, and tied with amber ribband.

No. 4. — WALKING DRESS.

A round cottage gown of jaconet, or japan muslin, made high in the neck, with long twisted sleeve, and full tops, front of the waist designed in a neat pattern of satin-stitch and open-hems, and ornamented round the bottom with fluted muslin. A slouched hat of satin straw, or imperial chip, with a figured silk handkerchief, a bright Coquelicot, formed in bows on the crown, and brought under the chin. A military scarf of double elastic knitting, twisted once round the throat, crossing the back and bosom, with the ends thrown in graceful negligence over the right arm. Shoes of crimson, or light brown velvet; and gloves of York tan, or pale brown kid.
