JOAN. (See in Appendix.)

JOAN BEAUFORT, WIFE OF JAMES I. OF SCOTLAND (1357). A sideless gown of gold-coloured plush, edged with the fur-like brown marabout trimming, with a wide border of the same round the hem of the trailing skirt. The under-dress should be a spun silk jersey of a golden-brown tint, and the fur trimming of the over-dress should be clasped with golden "owches" down the front. The hair is confined within a net-like coif of gold wire or thread and pearls; while a wide gold kirtle, low on the hips, supports an embroidered pouch of brown and gold. The shoes, of brown velvet, are worked with gold, and made with very long, peaked toes. No gloves, but a book, bound in white vellum and clasped and edged with gold, in the hand. The ruby heart on throat. Period 1357. The costume, as worn at the Queen's Ball, 1842, by the .'Duchess of Roxburgh, was a skirt of red and blue satin, embroidered with arms of England, and bordered with ermine; cuirass bodice of ermine with jewels down the front; tight red satin sleeves to wrist; embroidered blue velvet cloak ordered with ermine, fastened on shoulders; badge of St. Andrew on left shoulder; hair in gold, side nets with crown.

JOAN OF ARC. White plaited cashmere skirt; a suit of armour, with helmet and plume, mailed feet, gloves; red cloak at shoulder. Or, as she appeared at the coronation of the French king, skirt and tunic of blue satin, spangled with fleurs-de-lys; silver helmet with white plume; coat of mail, mail on arms, gauntlets, feet encased in long boots; sword with cross on hilt, and shield; the hair floating on shoulders. (Plate VII., Fig. 28.) The suit of armour may be of silver, burnished steel, or what is called scale armour. But it can also be made by cutting out in strong brown paper the various pieces required, copied from any illustrated history, or from Knight's "Shakespeare," pasted over with silvered paper. Round the edges inside strips of linen should be pasted to strengthen them, so that tapes may be sewn with which to tie
