STAR, STARLIGHT, EVENING STAR, POLAR STAR, MORNING STAR, NORTHERN STAR, are all rendered after the same order; viz., with either a black, blue, or white evening dress, and veil covered with silver stars; ornaments of the same, coronet of the same in the hair.

For Starlight, a dark purple dress veiled in star-spangled tulle is sometimes worn. Or, two shades of dark blue, with a silver scarf about the skirt, looped with silver stars and fringe; bodice and veil spangled with stars, also front of dress; crown of stars.

For Evening Star, a gold crescent is also introduced in the hair.
