through the front gore only above, for
we must leave an opening.
The next step will be TO make the plaits
in the back Of the skirt. Fold on the lines
Of perforations and lap these edges until
they exactly meet at the center back, and
we will be ready to Join the skirt to the
belt. Let the center front come exactly
at the large perforation in the right side
OF the belt and let the point Of the belt
extend beyond the edge of the skirt. The
left side Of the blouse and belt will be left
free from the edge of the opening TO the
front edge, and the lower edge Of that
part OF the belt must be finished.
Now the suit is ready to slip on. Lap
the right side over the left with the large
perforations in the blouse exactly meeting
and mark the points where YOU want but
tons and buttonholes When YOU have
made the buttonholes and sewed the but
tons into place, the work will be done.
If you are going to trim the skirt with
soalloped bands and scallop the collar,
haste the outside and the lining Of the
collar together, but do not seam them.
Then mark and cut the scallops and bind
the two edges together. Cut bands to ft
the sleeves, baste over chem and finish in
the same way. For trimming for the skirt.
lay a piece of. paper over the lower edge
Of the skirt and cut it off in Just exactly
the shape and six inches deep. Then cut
the silk out. using this as a pattern and
laying it orossVise on the material Join
the strips, mark and cut the scallops at
the upper edge and bind them. Then
proceed exactly as directed for the plain
trimming. For the binding Of the seal
lops, use bias strips OF silk, cutting them
one and one-quarter inches in width.

At the ends Of the collar are rows Of white

In fact, it is astonishing 10 note in how
many ways an effect Of drapery and Of
fulness is obtained, while fundamentally
there is no increase Of width. Even the
panier skirts are made over olose-ftting
foundation and where fulness is used for
the sake Of beautiful folds, it is held in
one way or another TO preserve the
general slender outline
Dainty touches and bits Of handwork
are apparent everywhere Coat suits
show the prettiest possible collars and
cuffs and often these are Of sheer white
hatiste. Pretty ones are finished with
little pufings and frills Of the batiste that
are inexpressibly charming, and again.

half wards twonty-sevcn inches wide with
ten yards of braid for plain bands or

inches wide for binding the scallops
When the material is chosen and pur-
chased, the next step is cutting the gar
ment out You must take care to put
the back Of the blouse the front gore OF
the skirt and the collar on the fold OF the
roods and be careful that this fold is
made right on the thread Of the material,
because II YOUR goods is the least bit

above which are FIVE little ruffles Of tai
feta that show scalloped edges bound
with the material The coatee is made
with pepIum that is shorter at the front
and longer at the back, and all the edges
are scalloped and bound, while the chemi-
sette and undersleeve are Of ivory shadow
lace Right down the center Of the ohemi-
settle are two rows of tiny black china
buttons
The same idea could easily be carried
out in oolors- Dark blue would be
servoeable and lighter oolors attractive
in a different way. The features Of the
costumes are TO be found in the way in
which materials are handled, and in the
little coatee that gives sufficient suggestion
Of a wrap to be suitable for streec wear.
Black and white, however, are exceedingly
smart and there is very pronounced eNl-
dence Of their constantly increasing
vogue.

Arrange the collar over the blouse with

gether and baste il into place Now cut
bias strips Of the material two inches wide,
using the material OF the collar or the suit
or thin silk, as you like, and underface all
the neck and front edges.
We are now ready for the sleeves For
the short ones, cut them off on the pointed
line of perforations near the lower edge.
Then cut the trimming band Just the shape
Of the sleeves and three inches in width
Close the seams of the sleeves with the
notches together and Join the ends Of the
bands Sew the bands 10 the lower edges
Of the sleeves with the seams exactly meet

and turn the band over onto the sleeve
and sew the upper edge into place Sew
the braid on the silk Now gather the
sleeves between the double crosses and put
them into the armholes, following the
directions that accompany the pattern.
Next gather the blouse at the lower edge
between the double crosses and Join to
the belt. Cut the point on the left side Of
the belt and let It extend beyond the blouse

but in joining all the parts be sure TO study
the directions and follow them accurate
Seam the side CORES TO the back CORES

edge Of each seam and the front edges Of
the side cores with thin seam binding,

To trim the black silk with the white
braid cut the collar from the silk laying
the edge on the straight fold Of the ma
terial, and cut bias bands Of the silk six
inches wide to 90 round the lower edge Of
the skirt and four inches wide for the
sleeves. II you are going TO make ie with
scallops, cut them straight orosswise. be-
cause YOU cannot scallop bias edges. Cut
two portions of the collar, one for the
lining, as unlined silk will not be firm
enough either for the braid or the bound
