than a princess skirt indifferently
made. Such a pretty new model built
of grey blue cloth has the trimming so
arranged on jacket and skirt as to

is cut princess with the corslet forming
slight points at the back and front, 1t
fastens at the front where there is a
broad strap of stitched cloth Just a
trifie darker in shade. The fullness at
the back is laid in an inverted box plat

punches that encircle the skirt for it's

and fastens over to the left side with
silk loops. 1t is edged with a broad
stitched band Of the darker cloth that
forms one in line with the stitched band

of the darker cloth give finish to the
closefitting coat sleeves.

white pearl buttons at the front. The
lowest band forms the ceinture.
