MUSLIN EMBROIDERY.

This manufacture from the beginning has gone through many changes, at some periods to be seen in collars very large in size, at other times medium and small ; then again filled collars take the lead, then again the change may be to other sorts of embroidery, such as collars and sleeves in sets, book and cambric grounds. The names are taken capri- ciously and as waywardly as flowers themselves are christened, such as Jenny Lind, Piccolomini, Duchess de Malakoff, Empress, Princess Royal, Prima Donna. At present the articles most worn are collars and sleeves in sets in cambric and book ; entre-deux applique trimmed with riband and without, also sleeves, (wide) in puff and gauntlet, taking their names from the manufacture that is now in use.
