- Description
- Evening dress, c.1910-1913. Black silk taffeta and sequined, beaded net. Square neckline, short sleeves, long flared skirt, high waistline, floor length hem. The entire dress is black, with a sequined and beaded net layer over a taffeta layer. The sequins and jet beads are black as well. At the centre front of the gown, there is an extensive, elaborate jet beaded applique that covers the small area from the neckline to the raised waist. The same type of beading hangs from the neckline on the bodice back. On either side there are sequins and beads, underneath a gathered net that extends to the shoulders. A triangular piece of beaded and sequined net is attached to this, and it all drapes over the tucked net sleeves which have net ruffles at the ends bordered by a line of beading. At the directoire waistline, there is a wide satin ruched sash. The skirt beneath is sequined and beaded in increasing density towards the hem. Underneath the net, the taffeta layer has four gores, and an added section at the hem. There are three layers at the hem: gathered chiffon, pleated taffeta hemmed with lace, and two layers of taffeta interlined with cotton to stiffen it and bound closed with twill tape. The bodice is lined with white cotton, with two bones on either side and five bones at the front. At each underarm there is a dress shield that reads "Best American Make / The Best / Kleinfeld / The Gem." There is a black patterned twill tape belt at the high waistline, attached at centre front, that closes with two hooks and eyes. The taffeta part of the dress closes at centre back with hooks and eyes on the bodice, and with snaps at the skirt. The net layer closes over top of that on the back left with snaps. The ruched waistline also closes at centre back with snaps.

- History
- The Burnaby Gem and Mineral Club was formed in Burnaby in 1963 and became a chartered member club of the Lapidary Rock and Mineral Society of British Columbia on June 15, 1965. Meetings were held at Bonsor Hall on the third Tuesday of every month. The club became a registered federation member of the Gem and Mineral Federation of Canada in 1978. From 1978 to 1985, Marguerite “Mary” Skinner was the recording secretary. Mary and her husband John Skinner were members for 21 years, and during that time, John organized all of the “big shows” with the help and support of fellow members. On December 15, 1985, the general membership of the Burnaby Gem and Mineral Club voted to close the club. They had a final dinner meeting on February 18, 1986, at the Copper Kettle on Kingsway.
