Plain dark dress, with full skirt; kerchief on her shoulders, and a white cap. The magic "Cloak of Darkness" brought by the Elves for Toinette, is a long cape, with hood attached, made of light gray canton flannel. The Fern-seed Bag may be made of a bit of the same material, or of the colors of Hollyberry's costume. The Elves wear harlequin costumes in two shades of the same color, with tall pointed hoods, and long shoes with toes turned up. Gilt bells on all points of collar, jacket, and hood. See illustration. Sateen is perhaps the best material for these little suits, as it comes in a great variety of rich shades, but cheaper goods may be found.
