You cannot fold nor shape piece of cooked meat; but if that same piece is folded and fastened down previous to being cooked, it will remain in that shape after cooking, even if the trusting or fastening is pulled out i Where the bones are removed from a rib roast before cooking, that it may be rolled, the carving is very simply done. Hold the knife fiat, and with a quick saving cut clear across remov- ing slices from A to B.

 The best piece of beef for roasting or baking are from the standing ribs, sir 1oin, and pinbone; the latter, however, can only be bought in certain places. The standing ribs, six in number, come from the forequarter, and the sirloin and pinbone from the hindquarter. A small family had much better purchase ribs from the small end, and the larger family take the middle cut" or the large ribs. As meat is always sweeter when cooked with the bones in, remove only the long top bone; chop off par

gores, each gore stitched over with three close groups on either side of seam and slits upon five of the front gores at the bottom, each fully twenty inches in length. A short hip yoke, de- fined by stitching, or an applied piece of cloth in design to match, or one showing the same shade of color, but differing from the material, as a plain cloth upon figured one or the reverse, is always good tailor style. Upon the bodice let the same cloth finish the col larless ruche and in front spread out across the bust in it's design. Let the design chosen for the front of a yoke be also repeated on the end of front tabs. Something of the same design is to enter the cuffs at the wrists. The only way to execute such parts when suit is homemade or to reduce the ex- pense when the making is done out side is to have the design drawn or stamped and then worked or made ready to apply to parts by the dress maker or tailor. Under each split of the skirt the cloth should lay flat or be plaited finely.
 An Eton or close fitting bodice with belt may be preferred by some per sons, but short or half long basques fitted all in one on a tailor plan are much more easily carried out, whereas a tight fitting bodice with the least pos sible blouse has it's fitted basque sepa- rately attached either to the bodice by means of belt piece between or in the latest styles with its basque at tached to the skirt belt Where the basque is not to be split in the back one-half has to be mounted on mar row separate belt and brought round to the front for fastening after the skirt has been fastened. Shoulder capes or collars belong to the bodice trimming in this case.
 Sleeves are still very much on the spring models, the tops shaped to the arm, while the flare if open. or the ball looming if closed, falls quite low upon the wrist This necessitates outside wraps of all kinds to have sleeves wide enough at the bottom not to in- terfere with wide bodice sleeves Vogue.
