As to the size of the spot, it varies according tothe fineness of the fabric and the nature of the pattern towhich it is applied. 181. Swansclown Tivill Spotted.—The spots in this in-.

As a rule the colouring of these styles is of asimple order, merely comprising the employment of neatly-contrasting shades.
