gilt buckle, and gilt naval buttons are
used in closing the double breasted
fronts.
The fronts lap widely, are long and
loose fitting and meet the back in
shoulder and under arm seams. The
smooth back is fitted by centre
seam to the waist line, the skirt por-

ranged in wide centre box pleat each

The straight military collar is faced
with velvet, embroidered stars decor

Pointed straps, attached by button

buttonholes worked in cape and but
toned all the way, may be used in

form and closely fitted by dart on

falling to fashionable length. The
hood, shaped in pointed military

be made adjustable or omitted, as
preferred.
