VEST AND eo1F1NG JACKET.

VEST AND GOLFING JACKET.
white cambria and five buttons to make
a vest, and an afternoon is plenty of
time. Duck or linen crash also makes
nice vests and when they are washed
no boy knows that they are homemade.
Boys seem to be as much afraid of
homemade clothes as of homemade
hair cuts. Some vests have the small
rundown collar, but most Of the
summer ones are simply rounded at
the neck. That simplifies vestmaking
materially. An old vest furnishes the
pattern and shows how the pockets are
to be put in. A facing Of the same is
basted on the front, wrong side out,
and this is then stitched and turned
and basted again and stitched down.
This is then felled under the lining,
and the buttonholes are made. The
pockets are to be put in before any
thing aside from the cutting is done.
Golfing jackets are made Of Scotch
flannel by preference, as that never
shrinks, and most others do. This can
be had in any design-that is to say,
any width and color of stripe, but
those in brown on white or with a dark
blue stripe on a cream ground are the
handsomest. The jacket requires no
diagram, for it must have a pattern,
and they are SO easy to get from an old
coat. The back is narrow and unlined,
and the side seams are felled. There
is facing of the material beginning
at the shoulder in front and extending
to the bottom. This gives support to
the buttons, Of which there are four.
The collar and cuffs are of white, and
the pockets are stitched on the out
side. These jackets, when of good
quality of material, cost high, but it
takes but 211a yards of flannel to make
one, and, aside from the buttonholes,
wearer prefers his jacket to be in box
form, it is easy to make it so by leav-
ing the corners straight without round
ing them off. Box shaped jackets are
shown now and may be single or dou-
BILE breasted. An amateur would bet
ter avoid the double breasted ones.
Good pyjamas cost more money ready
made than the most of us feel able to
pay, and yet poor qualities are scarcely
worth buying. They are easy to make,
and all men agree that they are in ev-
ery way preferable to nightshirts. And
shey are far easier to wash, which
should count also in their favor.
There is soft madras like the strip
ed goods of that name, but this is
loosely woven and slightly focked like
outing flannel, but is softer, and the
colors are fast. That is most neces-
sary, for after one has made the pyja-
mas one does not wish them to fade
out with one or two washings. 1t
takes about five yards of this to make
a suit. If two suits of the same kind
are made, then
nine yards will N
make them. The S0
