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.
Cravate Romantique.
The same as the Byron; it is chiefly worn in the country, and the prevailing colour is solitaire.
Cravate à la Fidélité.
The same as the Mathématique. The privates of the ex-national guard of France wore it when in uniform, and it has since been recommended to the ex-ministry of our own country. It must be black, and folded on a whalebone stiffener, and should be so carefully put on as to prevent all appearance of the shirt, except the collar, which must be of the most dazzling white.
