STREATER. & RO P FOHOE PN SO0 g | % OLLOWING the sanest of present- day styles (at a commendable dis- tance from all extremes) and espe- cially designed for slender young fig- | ures, the picture given here presents | an ideal tailored costume for a young ! woman. . | The undraped skirt hangs straight ! from the normal waist line. It has ' the fashionable narrow effect, but is z § provided with inverted plaits at each side, which are free from the knee down. These give room for long and rapid strides. The bottom is finished with a hem, and above the plaits ar- row-heads and seams piped with a con- trasting color make a workman-like, and therefore elegant, “tailored” fin- ish. The coat follows, with fashionable vagueness, the lines of the figure. In many new models the waist line is quite ignored. But in this there is an easy shaping of the side seams and a little definition of the walst. The shoulders are wide and the sleeves long, all of which points show the good judgment of the designer in com- posing a garment for the slender and l be undeveloped figures of youth. For fin- ish the coat depends upon pipings, embroidered arrow-heads and simu- lated buttonholes with a turned-back collar in silk of the same color as the decorations. The belt, of the material, with sash ends at the front, has a row of ma- chine stitching near its edges and is a feature in the styles for fall and winter. The jacket is hemmed at the bottom. Deep, slightly flaring cuffs finish the sleeves. A soft blouse of white cotton voile, with neck and sleeves finished with hemstitched frills, {s worn with this suit. The sensible walking boots of kid, with cloth uppers, are neatly tipped with patent leather. The short washable gloves are barred with black. A sailor hat with velvet brim and satin crown fs simply trimmed with velvet bow and one large satin poppy. Taken altogether this is a costume that the young woman may wear with much satisfaction. It will pass the most discriminating scrutiny and place her at once among the well dressed. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. School Hats for Big and Little Girls GROUP of three hats is pictured here suited to the needs of the young lady in the high school and her smaller sister. One of them, the mor- ’ tar-board hat of velvet, is shown in two views. This velvet model and the large sailor for the nearly grown miss are suitable for dressy wear also. The mortar-board hat is a novelty in headwear. It is made on a square brim mounted over a small round crown. The velvet covering is cut large enough to fold back, as shown in the picture. This covering is a large square of velvet bordered with sllk. The four corners of the square are fastened to the crown with small ribbon bows. No further decoration would be In good taste on so odd a model. This hat could be made of more durable material by substituting one of the thin plushes, such as are | shown among fall millinery materfals. i The sailor shape of plain velvet is ia type of many hats designed for young girls. The brim of velvet is { quite often mounted on a crown of silk in contrasting color. Gold and | 7' silver cloth is used for this purpose. Pretty roman-striped silks are good. The close-fitting, bonnet-like shape, for a little miss, is of a light weight plush draped over a frame. It 18 trimmed with a small natural wing. These plushes will stand any amount of wear and weather and are, in fact, more hardy than fur. Hats made of them are very comfortable and a satis- factory protection in cool weather. Corduroy is about the most reliable fabric which one can select to make hats for the children’s daily wear. And altogether satisfactory shapes can be made at home, using either corduroy or velveteen. Hats of this kind are made with soft crowns and have brims interlined with crinoline. Patterns for making them are to be had of any standard pattern company. By stitching the brims in parallel rows, they may be kept shapely. Trimmings are of the simplest char- acter if used at all. Bands of ribbon finished with small bows are the best choice of all.
