LESSON VIII. Cravate en Cascade.
Reading edition
See plate C, fig. 17.
The Cravate en Cascade is formed by making a single knot, like that in the second lesson, plate B, fig. 8, and leaving one end longer than the other; the longer, after being brought on the inside (as in the plate and figure referred to) must be lowered so as to cover the whole of the knot—carefully spread out as wide as possible, and then fastened to the bosom of the shirt. The tout ensemble will then present the appearance of the Cascade, or Jet d’Eau in the bason of the Palais Royal.
This style is generally followed by valets, butlers and other fashionables of the same grade.
The handkerchief should not be starched.
See plate referred to.
