This covering removed, I found a white cambric handkerchief, inside of which was something hard.
The chief industry of Cambrai is the weaving of muslin (batiste) and other fine fabrics (see Cambric); wool-spinning and weaving, bleaching and dyeing, are carried on, as well as the manufacture of chicory, oil, soap, sausages and metal boxes.
I want five hundred rubles, and taking out her cambric handkerchief she began wiping her husband's waistcoat.
It's a gossamer sleeveless gown in pure cotton cambric with delicate white flowers and green ribbon design.
