Cravate à la Paresseuse.
The Paresseuse is undoubtedly one of the most convenient and easy methods of wearing the Cravat. It has been rather neglected, and we think unjustly so, as it combines the advantage of concealing the shirt of the wearer, and displaying the handkerchief to advantage. It may be put on in a moment, and this style can be adopted with complete success in wearing a handkerchief a second time. It should be prepared as shewn in [plate A, fig. 2]; placed on the front of the neck, the ends are passed round and crossed on the chest, as shewn in [plate D, fig. 28].
Married men and antiquated beaux seem to be its greatest admirers; it may be starched or not ad libitum.
