Silk hosiery, leather dress slippers with Cromwell flaps, cabochon inlays, and gilt heeled black satin slippers complete the look as described by the New York Sun.

Orchard and Garden Tips for Fruit Planting and Care
Red raspberries are sweetest and plants increase by suckers. In orchard planting aim for good bearing, quality, and marketing. Use new growth shoots for rooting, avoid deep planting and excessive manure, and burn old vines near grapevines or pear trees to boost vigor. Firming helps in loamy soil but hurts in stiff clay, so avoid overloading an old orchard with new trees. A wash for fruit trees uses two gallons water, one soft soap, boiled, then one gallon crude carbolic acid.
