brown covert cloth is used and the coat has an inverted pleat at the un- der-arm seams and tsvo-piece sleeves, with cuffs Of the same material The skirt is pleated model and falls bare ly below the tops of the high 1uttoned boots. Using finch material, yards of cloth are sufficient for the suit in taverage size.
 The coat may be finished with either high Or open effect at the neck. and there are other changes that may be made during the cutting process. For instance, if the sleeves are desired with cuffs it will be necessary to cut off low CT edges of pattern about B inch be- low small "o'' perforations. then cut off extensions ss inch outside of slot and small s.o'' perforations.
 The cloth is first folded so that the various parts of the pattern may be placed to the best advantage. The up- per sleeve section is laid the cloth first on a lengthwise thread Then comes the back, which must be care fully laid along the lengthwise fold to avoid a seam. The lining should be rnathenatically correct or else the back or the coat when worn will have the twisted effect that so often mars home made garments.
 To the right of the back the lower sleeve section is placed. This provides for the first row, as it may be called. Now. starting from the beginning again place opposite the upper sleeve section the side front and undertaking These with the following sections are all arranged on q lengthwise fold. Next comes the front then the side back. Between the back and the front there will be sufficient space for the collar and cuff. After laying the. see-l tions carefully onithe goods, pin into place and then the cutting may pro- eeed.
 In developing the jacket too much care cannot be given to the stitching and pressing of the seams. Use heavy irons and press quite flat. If necessary pad the shoulders lightly with canvas cloth F.requently, when the suit is to be worn all winter. an interlining of flannel is added.
