This Cravat very closely resembles the Mathématique, and differs only in the arrangement of the ends, which in the Irlandaise are joined in front and twine round each other—each end is then brought back to the side it comes from, and is fastened at the back of the neck.
This difference, which would be invisible to a superficial observer, will not escape the critical eye of an élégant, accustomed to peruse this important work with the care and attention it merits.
The Irlandaise is not confined to any particular colour, and the handkerchief need not be starched, but a whalebone stiffener is necessary.
LESSON XIII.
Cravate à la Maratte.
The Cravat for this style should be of the finest and whitest India muslin. Like the Byron, it is commenced at the back of the neck, and linked like a chain; the ends may either be fastened like those of the Cravat de Bal (to the braces, or on the back), or to the shirt bosom.
