New Style of Silk Sontag

Black Silk Sontag - This useful article is made of black silk, edged with black guipure or Honlton lace. It is intended to wear under a shawl or sacque, when it may be necessary to throw either of them off the shoulders, and presents a much more dressy and elegant than a knit Sontag. For cold weather it may be slightly wadded.
