A high flaring rufile of black vetvet and jot is placed aroiind the neck, and an es carcelle of black velvet -trimmed with jet is suspended at one side by . a jetted cord passing around the waist.

For the back hair, when dressed low in the nape of the neck, are low, broad combs ot gold or silver, headed by faceted balls ‘or open-work designs. Still more novelornaments are made of ivy:leaves, forget-me-nots, pansies, and holly berries zn leaves, in green and gold enaunel, which are tobe fastened in the braids of hair.
