Summary[edit]

Description
English: another fashion vignette.
  • Text: Mrs. Ted appeared yesterday in one of the neatest of linen street dresses. She went downtown to do some shopping. The line was pale blue, of coarse weave. The skirt, clearing the ground, was footed with a flounce set under four folds or tucks of the goods, headed with a band of cross stitch embroidery in deeper blue upon bands of the goods. This cross stitch embroidery can be bought new to match many of the linens; it is much easier than to make it with the needle. Another band of the embroidery was set over three rows of shirring, which formed a yoke in the skirt. The goods above the cross stitchery was shirred into the belt, which was of white leather. The waist was made with a yoke of folds and a fitted fall and sleeve-cap of the cross stitchery.
The collar was embroidery, and the sleeves, both over and under sleeves of linen, were ornamented with the embroidery. The hat was of tan colored straw, with a garland of pink roses and a broad knot of blue ribbon. She wore a tan colored suede glove, and carried a white parasol. Just below the point of her collar was that same embroidered design that appears on most of her dresses. I have found what it is. The Terry's girl told our girl and our girl told me. It is a fleur-de-lis. Mrs. Ted has a fancy for it, and the same design appears on every article of clothing she possesses, even upon her linen. Mary Malin says she is going to have something embroidered on her wedding clothes. Beats all how an idea like that does spread!
