BALL FROCKS OF TULLE AND LAGE Fairylike Beauty Marks Charm- ing Gowns of This Year’s i Debutante. CALL FOR SIMPLE FABRICS Chiffons and Georgettes Are Preferred to Heavier Metallic Brocades and Velvets—Tight-Fitting Coats in Vogue. It would seem as if all of the lovely things designed for this year’s debu- tante might be labeled after the good old birthday fashions of long ago: “For a Good Little Girl” Certainly the girls of today have earned their right to the most beautiful and the most frivolous of lovely clothes through the faithful, unflagging and sntiring war services, observes a fash- fon writer. Indeed the debutautes of last year deserve a special inning this gear. It used to he said one could tell a debutante by her nice, clean little white gloves which she wore through- eut the evening, never removing them en for supper; for a debutante of :hu‘ days was @ demure and timid lttle soul who carefully refrained from “unladylike” behavior, and cer- tainly she never “ate,” she only “nib- bled” at parties. Nowadays debutantes wear no gloves and do not worry about their finger tips. New Dance Frocks Are Fairylike. Some of the new dance frocks are Cairylike in their beauty, fashioned of @ouds of tulle and filmy lace showing fhrough the stuff. The life of a tulle w is just about ome evening. I of nothing more arresting than a recent visit to a smart couturiere, where six little dance frocks hung waiting to be freshened for the next “fray.” The tulle hung in streamers on some and one had been “melted” by a sudden downpour of rain. Some of the tulle frocks—for the most part of white, as properly the debutante’s frock should be—are delightfully com- bined with a shadow lace. The use of lace is a revival of a bygone day, for it has been many years since the Jace trimmed ball gown. This type of frock is rather refreshing after the more sophisticated ones of brocade and tinsel which prospered for a time. Of course satin, white or palest flesh pink, 18 used as a foundation for the tulle and lace dancing frocks. The satin foundation is tight and narrow and short and the overdraperies are so placed that they form the extended hip seam not only on maturer models but on the most youthful as well. One maker has pailletted an underneath layer of tulle with silver spangles which show with just enough scintilla- tion through the gauzy meshes. Simplicity the Debutante’s Note. One expects the debutante to be gowned with simplicity, and wise mothers follow this rule in the choice not only of the debuting gown but in the selection of the greater part of the wardrobe as well. The simpler fabrics such as chiffons and georgettes are preferred to the heavier metallic bro- cude and velvets. The gowns of pastel taffetas are lovely for informal occa- stons. With these little things with their long slender bodices, pointed in front and fitted with a sash in the back, are worn tiny caps of the pastel silk to match the dress. This is a Parisian fashion just being shown over here and suitable for theatre and restaurant wear. Even in the smaller cities voung girls go about nowadays to restaurants and cafes for the danc- ing, which seems to be more sought than ever. It is for this occasion that the taffeta frocks of the lovely pastel shades and their accompanying cap- lete are worn. The favored shade for evening wear in the cav French city for the debu- tgnte (s emerald green. This is en- chantingly ~ombuie¢d with silver, and I am sure we can scarch far and wide before we can find a more beautiful color scheme. Canary yellow is also very much liked this year, but the more pronounced shades are left for older and more sedate people. Tight Fitting Coats Are In. The coat suit of the moment most esteemed by the young girl has a tight fitting basque effect with a rip- pled skirt. For very ‘“dressy” wear duvetyn suits in lighter shades of tan, gray or blue are much liked. All of the brown shades are so well liked this season that they afford distinct rellef from the long favored blues. However, all can not wear brown, though in the great variety of shades the dyers have produced I can see no reason why all complexions, hair and eyes cannot be successfully set off with some brown tone, The newer skirts are by no means so narrow, though they are quite short. The vestee of colored broadcloth is seen in some very smart duvetyn frocks, though the suit with the rippled and short waistline does not repro- duce these. Much braiding is used, and choker collars which could reach right up to the eyes unless one were afraid of smothering are seen in great numbers. For less formal wear the smart sult of tweed or English cloth with its swell tailored Norfolk jacket with inverted plaits and belted walsts is more in favor than ever. Girls Like Overblouses. It is to the young girl that the lovely overblouses will appeal the most. Some of these, to be worn with skirts of heavy black or midnight blue, are quite long, reaching to within a foot of the hem. Such an overblouse 1of sand colored georgette is braided from throat to hem in black and gold threads and held in at the waistline with a string belt braided with black and gold. This is worn over a black satin skirt. A companion frock to this, reproduced in midnight blue serge, has the very long overblouse of black satin embroidered in Chinese motifs in colored threads and suggest- ing a mandarin’s coat. The embroidery is deftly done and not in the least garish or conspicuous. The newest sport skirts are plaited of plaid and worn with velvet jackets or silken sweaters in dark tones. The sweater is a feature of one’s wardrobe which must not be overlooked either by young or old. The silken sweaters with their excellent lines and good service have returned to favor and are preferred for genulne use in the darker shades, browns, blacks and blues, Now and then the debutante exercises her ingenuity and lightens the dark tones by the introduction of some gay and contrasting checks or stripes interwoven in the knitting. The New Prince of Wales Coat. A rumor from across the sea tells us that a new coat for the young girl has been copied from one of the Prince of Wales'. Doubtless he will wear such a coat in this country and it is just as well to know that the English girls have adopted it as the preferred winter wrap. The coat in question is quite long with slightly flaring skirts. A wide and rolling col- lar ended at the waistline with one button to fasten the coat together. It does sound smart and can be charm- ingly developed in almost every mate- rial and trimmed to advantage with a large fur collar. The same rumor says that the Sam Brown belt, which was so much worn Dy officers, accustomed men to their waistline and now our new fall suits with the funny little pinched-in waists and flaring coat skirts are an indirect outgrowth of the officers’ belted fash- fon. One of our American officers says that the British stopped the war every day at 4:30 to have tea, and always puttees and Sam Brown belts were carefully removed for this mo- ment of relaxation and refreshment. Who would have thought that our winter suits would still pay tribute to the glorious men who have added a new lustre to England's name? To women much is given, and because of the pleasing origin of the ripple coat with its narrow and pinched waist I am sure it will be proudly and unbiqui- tously worn.

NORTH DAKOTA. PLAN (By United Press.) New York, Nov. 4.—Classrooms crowded to capacity, American col- lege and university attendance rec- ords this fall have proved that youth has taken more seriously than ever the matter of getting an education, after returning from the scnool of war. Reports from every section of the country have shown large gains in attendance figures. Dormitories, rooming houses and fraternity heuses in ever ycollege town are crowded. in every college town are crowded. have ben turned away for lack of room. ~ Anxiety to get back to civilian life; to pick up the odd ends of a col- lege course where they were dropped; and continue the training started in war work—which in thousands of cases was the first opportunity for pursuit of knowledge—are given as reasons for the increased activity on the campuses. Leading the list of American col- |- leges and universities in attendance is Columbia university, New York City. Gaining 25 per cent since last year, the attendance today stood at 24,815, including all the schools in the corporation. A year ago the en- rollment was 18,514. Claiming second place is the Uni- versity of California, Berkley, with 9,427 enrolled in the winter term. The summer registration was 5,456, or a yearly attendance of 14,883. The enrollment for the winter ses- sion is 53 per cent above that of last year. The largest registrations in the country continue this year to be in the middle west, with the exception of the largest two. The University of Minnesota, St. Paul, enrolled 7,- 006, an increase of $1,635 over last year. Illinois ranked fourth with 7,214 as against 6,700 last year. Wis- consin was next with 6,875, or 1,872 more than were enrolled in 1918-19. In the east Harvard ranks highest. This year there were 5,017 students registered at Cambridge, while last year there were but 3,894. At Yale there are 3,133 or 730 more than in the last session.

H. J. Martin, vicar of Holy Trinity, Old Brompton, was fined 40s at Chatham police court on the complaint of an eighteen- year-old daily servant, Annie Topping, that he had kissed her on several occasions. The girl stated that Mr. Martin had told her that she could love him as much as she loved her young man, and had kissed her the first day she was in the house.
