DRESS SUIT TOR SMALL BOY.

The small boy who wants to appea1 in full dress has a very desirable suit designed for his use. It may be made of black yeIvets silk or white serge The short trousers and Eton coat which comprise the suit are easy to make and require but little material, 3 yards o1 4O-inch velvet or silk being sufficient

The material is first folded and the following parts are laid on ths front fB), back of jacket front GID and belt sections, eG5 and (Fs1- Before the collar is laid on the fold arrange in place the -casing Now opposite tho collar place, on a lengthwise thread.
