It was of white Jace, the cuffs being fulled and som what puffed like the underslceves of the 1860’s—and having the sume ap- 1§ pearance save that they were applied on top of. the sleeve of the frock. Further to add to the struight, grace- ful lines of the frock, there was a little Sir Walter Raleigh cape at the back—made of black bound with white. i My Neighbor Says: Linoleum looks better and s longer if given an occ: with a flannel kerosepe.
