We give here an engraving and diagram of one of the newest and prettiest affairs of the season. It is called "The Chevalier Casque," and the pattern consists of five pieces, which represent half of the Casque: Front, back, panier, sleeve, and gauntlet.

Our model is trimmed with lace and ruche. The trimming is laid on the bodice to simulate a square-cut one. The front joins the back according to the notches at the edges of the paper. The panier is gathered into the back of the waist; the sides of the panier are likewise gathered, and the sides of the fronts wrap over the panier, and are fastened with either a large bow or gimp ornament. A waistband and short, bunchy sash complete the Casque, which is just the thing for out-of-door wear in the spring.
