Fashion editors note that middle aged women inspire trends with heaped frocks, mantles, and jacket bodices. Somber wine, taupe, and dull blues suit older wearers, while Redfern features a rose taffeta model with lace collar, scalloped sleeves, velvet bow, and rose embroidery.
The text describes crash cloths and luncheon textiles labeled Russian in origin or style. It notes serviceable use for dressing tables and as table runners, with options embroidered in colors or stenciled to match rooms. Some pieces are hemmed by hand for a simple hem finish.
Advice for careful furniture polishing warns against overuse of wax and dull films from dry rubbed finishes. A simple mixture of one third linseed oil and two thirds benzine is recommended, applied with a soft brush then dried with muslin. Dampened pads with a few alcohol drops help finish the rub until dry.
A draft description details a summer wrap made from satin silk fabric with a banded border and a large rose motif in the same material. The text appears fragmentary and cut off, offering limited specifics on construction or color.
A fashion note describes a black satin Leravat accessory for wear with wash silk shirt waists in mannish style. It features a fat satin bow, a double tapering end with eight inch length, six buttons at the lower end, and optional cream lace accents. A second satin tie shows a square bow with plaited satin and frilled ecru edging, giving a quaint overall effect.
Cleaning the teeth with powdered pumice stone has been found satisfactory. Use no more than once every three months to protect enamel. If spots near the gums are hard to reach, apply pumice with a soft cloth.
