It is not often that a woman»is able to array hersolf in a fabric which three hundred years ago was the property of a of England. The Countess of Pembroke had this privilege at Friday’s drawing room when her white and silver gown and light peach velvet train were trimmed with old Point de Flandre, which had been worn by Queen Elizabeth. It was in admirable preservation, and consisted of deep flounces, partly of floral designs, and also displaying a terrace walk with birds on pedestals, most quaint and curious.
