seems to be closely related to the well
known Norfolk jacket, but the plaits in
tLis case are only applied trimming

in back. giving the effect of ~box-plaits.
The belt ends at the front plaits in tiny
pockets. Four buttons with bound but
tonholes fasten the single breasted clos
ing. The long sleeves may be finished
with or without cuffs. Straight pants are
included in the pattern. Galatea, kinder
garten cloth, linen, Indian Head, popliu
or duck are suitable materials for this
suit.
The suit pattern, No. 1854, is cut in
sizes ., 4 and g years. The four-year
size requires IA yards SO inch material
with g yard SO inch contrasting goods
and 1s yard SO inch lining.
