ridges, at the same time increasing 1 st. at under-
arm side of work in every 8th ridge for 6 times.

ner. Sew up under-arm and sleeve seams.

inch card board until the desired thickness is ob-
tained. Cut and tie in center, and slip cap over
tassel, tie to girdle.

crochet, working button loops at left side by begin-
ning at collar, chain 5 very tight, skip 3 ridges, work
9 single crochet in succession, and work two more
