The sleeves are loose, ga- thered in pu£& midway be- tween the shoulder and el- bow, where they end. A long black scarf, of gauxe or silk, hangs over the shoul- ders : they were at this time very fashionable. The other lady wears a straw hat, the brim scarcely projecting over the eyes — it is decorated with green bows and feathers; a plain light-blue gown; a yellow shawl with a flowered border; and long yellow silk gloves, reaching to the elbow, where they meet the gown-sleeve. Both ladies carr...y the then indispensable article — a fan.
Although the hoop had been happily discarded in private life, it appeared regularly at court in as great state as ever. Wit- ness the figure here copied of a lady's court-dress in 1 796. Not since the days of its invention was this ar- ticle of dress seen in more full-blown enormity; and, as if to increase its size in the eye of the spectators, immense bows of riband, Digitized by Google OEORGE III.
