"Woman*s Russian Coat "With Applied Box Plaits 

 —4494 



Long coats are much in vogue and gain favor 

 with each succeeding week. This one is made 

 in Eussian style and is well adapted both to 

 the entire suit and the gereral wrap. The model 

 is made of black taffeta stitched with Corticelli 

 silk, but all coat and suit materials both silk 

 and wool are equally appropriate. 



The coat consists of a blouse portion, that 

 is made with applied box plaits at front and 

 back, and is fitted by means of shoulder and 

 under-arm seams, and the skirt which is attached 

 thereto beneath the belt. The skirt includes 

 applied plaits that form continuous lines with 

 the blouse, and is laid in inverted plaits at the 

 center back, which provide graceful fulness. 

 The right front laps over the left to close in 

 double-breasted style beneath the edge of the 

 plait. The sleeves are box plaited from the 

 elbows to the shoulders, so providing the snug 

 fit required by fashion, but form full puffs at 

 the rists, where they are finished by flare cuffs. 



The quantity of material required for the 

 medium size is six and one-half yards twenty- 

 seven inches wide, four yards forty-four inches 

 wide, or four yards fifty-two inches wide. 



The pattern 4494 is cut in sizes for a thirty- 

 two, thirty-four, thirty-six, thirty-eight, and 

 forty-inch bust measure. 



These patterns give universal satisfaction and 

 are made by those who have years of experience 

 in the businesn. 



Misses Seven Gored Tucked Skirt — 4485 



Skirts that fit snugly about the hips, while 

 they provide rippling flare at the feet not alone 

 retain their vogue for young girls, they appear 

 to gain additional favor month by month. This 

 one is adapted to a wide range of materials, 

 but as shown is made of wool crepe de chine, 

 in the pretty shade of green known as apple, 

 stitched with Corticelli silk. Wide tucks about 

 the edge- give firmness and body to the skirt 

 at the same time that they are ornamental, 

 while the perpendicular tucks provide the long 

 lines that are always becoming. 



The skirt is cut in seven gores with groups 

 of tucks so arranged that they conceal all seams. 

 The fulness at the back is laid in inverted 

 plaits and at the lower edge are three wider 

 tucks stitched on the indicated lines. 



The quantity of material required for the 

 medium size is seven yards twenty-seven inches 

 wide, five yards thirty-two inches wide, or 

 three and one-fourths yards forty-four inches 

 wide.

 of twelve, fourteen, and sixteen years of age.
