A pattern of either of these will be sent on receipt of 62½ cents.
Post-office stamps received in payment. These patterns are exact
counterparts of the original, with trimmings, etc.
THE EMPRESS.--_A silk mantelet_, cut low in the neck. Two hollow plaits
forming a fichu are trimmed with a bow in the middle of the back. The
bottom is bordered by a wide ribbon plaited with bows at each side of the
arm. Two rows of lace complete it.
THE NOVADA.--_Pelisse_, cut low and square. A wide revers forms the
sleeve. All the edges are trimmed with ribbon, silk with gold fillets. Two
rows of lace fall on the back, one narrow between two plaited ribbons; the
other wider, which begins square in front and widens in the back: a deep
lace runs along the bottom. The back is plain, and falls in flutes from
the second row of ribbons.]
