eves of white lawn showing through tattered
velvet oversleeves. Their cloaks are sometimes topped with white lace
collars. They wear either stockings and low slippers with buckles, or
high cavalier boots. Their hair is worn in lovelocks. See the
illustrated edition of "Pilgrim's Progress," or any good cavalier
pictures. If the velvets and satins cannot be had, use cambric in gay
colors with the glazed side out, which gives the effect of satin.

The maypole dancers are in dull-green, dull-violet, and dull-blue,
bronze, and slate-gray. Some wear cloaks and some do not. All should
have a wild, picturesque gipsyish look.
