The model shown is of pale pink BEN

velvet bound with ermine. With it is
worn q hat of the same materials with
trimming of ribbon and quilts. The
back of the coat has a pointed yoke to
which the full portion, which is laid
in three box-plaits, is scanned. The
fronts, on the contrary, are cut in one
piece with the plaits laid from the
shoulder. The simulated yoke of vel

fold of each plat. The closing is ef-
fected by pearl buttons and button
holes, the latter worked in the edge OF
the right front which laps over onto
the left. The second row Of buttons
down the right side is for decoration

'When L got back to Philadelphia

years old, and felt like staying at

I learned something of the trade, but
soon afterward went to sea again,
going to Boston and back in small

1T was on this trip that 1 got the
idea of going to California. I saw in

The trimming consists of fine black
mohair braid arranged in straight
bands. The full bodice is mounted
on fitted lining which is composed
of the usual pieces and shows the usu-
al seams. On it is arranged the plain
yoke below which falls the full portion
which is drawn in at the waist in
gathers. The closing is effected in
visibly at the centre-back and the neck
is finished with straight collar show
ing an outstanding frill Of lace at the
back. The sleeves are two-seamed
and snug fitting except for the slight
puff at the shoulder. The jacket is
made entirely separate and has rev.
ers which are self-faced, and curved
epaulettes which add breadth to the
shoulders and so greatly enhance the
effect. It is lined throughout with
silk, both the revers and epaulettes
having an entire lining Of light ht.weight
tailor's canvas. At the waist is worn
pointed bodice of the material close
ly banded with the braid.
The skirt Is cut IN the latest style
and is fve-gored with the new fan
back. 1t is fitted smoothly across the
hips and front, and laid in deep rn-
derlying plaits at the back to give the
necessary spring The trimming is
arranged in hoop effect, but can be
varied to suit the taste. The skirt is
lined throughout with percaline and
has an entire facing of hair cloth six
inches in depth.
To make this waist and jacket for a
miss of fourteen years will require two
and one-fourth yards of forty-four-inch
material. The jacket alone calls fol-
seven-eighths of yard. The skirt
will require three and seven-eighths
yards Of the same width goods.

''From the window of my cell I
