with gold buckles. Black stockings. White powdered wig worn in a cue.

With the other costumes, cretonne and cheesecloth can be substituted
for silk and satin; but the color scheme that has been already
described should be strictly adhered to. The Mlles. de Pernan and de
Tressau should wear white dresses, with looped-up paniers of white
cretonne flowered in yellow. The Duchess of Bourbon, a white dress with
looped paniers of pale blue, flowered in pink. White fichu and ruffles.
Very inexpensive yet effective costumes can be made for the dancers by
having each girl wear a white dress that comes below the knee. Over
this dress may be worn a deep girdle of cheesecloth of a solid color.
Then looped-up paniers of cheesecloth of the same color at each side. A
white fichu of cheesecloth or lawn may be worn with this costume, and
all the girls taking part in the dances should have their hair
powdered, and worn in a pompadour fashion. White shoes and stockings
for all the dancers. Older girls taking part should wear their dresses
ankle-length. If a more satiny look than cheesecloth gives is wished,
let the overdresses be of light-colored cambric with the glazed side
turned outward. Cheesecloth is the softest, most pliable material, and
the most easily managed.

The dancers who carry the rose hoops should wear pale-pink cretonne
flowered in deeper pink. The rose hoops may be made of ordinary hoops
of a good size cut in half, covered with green cheesecloth, and then
decorated with pink paper roses, put on so thickly that the green is
almost hidden.

The pages and sedan chair-bearers wear black velvet, with black
waistcoats and white neck-pieces and ruffles. Black stockings and low
black shoes. Hair powdered and worn in a cue. Black suits, basted back
