When one is placed over the other, the effect is a lovely changeable colour, and this is the way Susan uses them as an apron, gathered under the belt of an otherwise plain dinner gown.

the shoulder. Twisted into two separate rolls, the hand- kerchiefs are wrapped about the head like a turban and fastened with a diamond pin.
