Mantelet, May 1874
*******************************************


The mantelet is to be made of white French muslin, and trimmed with 
either worked Swiss flouncing, or ruffles of the same. Our design calls 
for Swicc flouncings of two widths, with an insertion in between; but
ruffles of the Swiss muslin, with a puffing between, through which a
ribbon is run, would be quite as pretty, and much less expensive. 



note: the vertical line to the right (28 in) is supposed to be
straight
the small part of the diagram is a detail of the flouncing
