many limitations of this waist, in knit
WOODEN and silk goods, of which ladies
must beware. The real ssurcot iersey''
is OF silk, without seams, sitting tight
to the figure, as already described. This
garment is so supple that it cannot be
worn without a silk cuirass-waist un-
derneath; this is sowed to the skirt. The
81 surcot' is laced over this without
forming single plat. It is trimmed
around the neck and sleeves with a
pretty "parlre." A broad scarf is
worn over this. to cover the point at
which the underwaist is joined to the
skirt. Some Jerseys are made to
wear with any toilette; others match
one particular dress. Another kind of
g surcut, :" made of wooden goods with
out seams, is not as expensive, and still
very handsome. The right side of the
material, of which this is made, is
ribbed, and the wrong side is plain, like
cloth. 1t is cut like any other material.
The waist must be rather too narrow,
so that it can be drawn when laced, and
thus made to sit tightly to the figure
