N. B. I. The above diagrams show both the compound and direct method, jointly illustrated; and can be easily eliminated and drafted either way, by a little thought and care, according to the principles of the above instructions. 2. Wrappers, morning wrappers, new markets, ulsters, demi-ulsters, water-proofs, etc. are all drafted and cut by the same principles as given above ; only varying from the circumference measures of the " close fit," to the desired degree in "ease of fit," and to the demands of style, or the texture and weight of the material chosen. ,
