 AUTUMN

JACKET.

BY EMILY H. MAY.

WE give, above, an engraving of a very desirable jacket for fall wear. The pattern consists of five pieces. Half of front and half of back, side-piece, half of panier, and upper part of sleeve, (the under part being marked on the paper. ) There is a notch on the front to mark where the seam of the sleeves is placed. A plait is pricked on the front, so that the casaque falls to the figure. The panier is gathered at the top and sewn on to the back of the waist ; the line where the pricked marks are should 300

also be gathered. The sides of the panier are fulled in to the front at the upper part, both being caught or bunched up with bow and ends. The sash is made of the same material as the rest of the mantle. Our model is of black silk, and trimmed with frills and satin rouleaux. This jacket takes two yards and a quarter of a material that measures twenty- seven inches in width. On the next page we give a diagram of the five pieces of which this jacket is composed.
