The vogue of the plain tallor made, thre piece sult is everywhere strongly empl #lzed, the plainer suits being much more popular than the fancy trimmed types. Serge is the favorite material for these sults. The two toned serges are particu- larly smart and some novelties in basket weave and ocamel's hair effect have also met with favor. A num- ber of skipted and bloused effects in’the loosely woven materlal are also shown Until cors re worn, however, no school girl should wear the strictly tallored sult, but heep to the su pender or strap dresses or the simple one plece froc worn bepeath a long half fitting coat A white walst or a silk bodice with a separate skirt i never pretty If there is no foundation to keep the walst down enugly in the back and sides and’to keep the skirt from slipping out of place. None of the newest tallored models are really, tight fAtting this ‘year, so that pretty much the same style of street dresses are worn by the school girl are worn by the grownups Now that plaited skirts are again in vogue for the ®chool girl as well as for the grownup, particular atten- tlon must be glven the petticoat, for upon its fit and hang depends the success of the tallored Kirt. A petticoat gathered on a ribbon or on a tape siring tied around the waist is as great a detriment to a properly fitting skirt as can well be Imagined. The present day fashions demand that even the smallest girl have her underskirt carefully fiited and well made. PRACTICAL (AT FOR Srokriy DAYS » was @ wide tuck in Gibson style, stitched the entire longth of the blouse, front and back. A jaunty pocket ornamented the front. The neck was high and finished with a standing coll, L The fullness of the blouse was confined to the walst With & belt of the maserial, the sleeves were comfort- ably full from the shoulders to the elbows, and ar- * % A number of the tailor mades for school girls have the shawl collar, and with the small sleeve worn now- adays a broad rever Is really necessary to glve the cor- rect breadth across the shoulder line, These revers are shogn made of ottoman silk, moire, velvet, or of the material {tsolf with trimmings of soutache braidings or rows of stitching. The sleeves are usually finished as the regulation coat sleeve, with a few bands of stitching and two or three cloth buttons, or if preferred may be adorned with two inch cuffs of the same material as the col- lar and revers. At one of the small fashionable shops the other day I saw a number of attractive frocks for sthoolgirls Bimplicityehad been carefully preserved, yet the frocks had a certain dignity of outline suitable to the dev elop- ment of the figure during the last few years at hool. ashmere was the orite material, followed closely by serge. All the frocks shown were in the .one place style, whether the 4 were indicated or not, and all fastened In the back One of the most charming models 1 saw was of tobacco brown serge, with a princess front showing cne medium broad panel from bust to hem. This was out with a girdle at the sides. The yoke was of white mnet bralded iIn soutache, from which two revers of the material turned back into a deep V, one crossing over the other and running down under _the glirdle. The long, tight sleeve had a turn bagk cuff. At the Insidn elbow there were three tuck The back of the skirt was plain and close fitting, with fullness given by in- verted plalts at the back of the placket Plpings of If-toned taffeta edged the s, girdle; and cuf. This style of gown will be found particularly becoming to a slender figure, as It has a girlishness that is most attractive. * » In regard to sepe ts the tendency i not so etrong toward the Moyen age effect as it has been dur ing the early part of the season.

Jaunty little raincapes, too, have fluttered i8to popularity thie season. These are nearly all cir- % FHC ¢ B S e il s ({4 B el ! 8 0000000000000 ng over the shoulder ranged from this point to the wrist in an inverted plait In the back. The skirt was made with a straight lower edge in plaits A dress of this type s so practical and !s adapted for development in so many different materials that there ieed be no dificulty in selecting one that is service- able and at the same time becoming. The smart woolen sultings are of course the most 1 fabrics to select for neral wear. The alght skirt makes a border on the material a pleas possibility. Then there are the widewale diagonal one or two tones, camel's hair, cheviot, bedford cord vron la cloth, homespun, panama, and shatr, which would prove a desfrable Sice. The sallor suit has always been a popular sult with school girls and it has become quite a fad among the school girls to wear saflor suits for almost every kind of an occasion—recitations, tramps, and on thelr shop g jaunts Another smart model, and newer than the sailor or the coat dress, is what is called. the *co-ed dres This is made somewhat on the Moyen age style and has a turned up portion which gives the effect of a tunic in fishwife style. Every girl is sure to greet this dress with enthusiasm, and it is especlally becomir to one of ratt athletic build The yoke skirt which has occupled such a promf nent place in women's garments is just as extensively worn by schoolgirls. While many plain, scant tallored kirts are to be seen, there is a great Increase noticed 1 the flare and the amount of material employed in the newest models, and. on the whole, the plaited skirt Is the more In favor than the one too severely cut There is the most varled assortment of designs mong these plaited models, some Kiving a panel ef t front and back, formed of two three-inch box plaits, which are opened out just helow the kn while again there are displayed many of the long, fa- lMar full skirts, with pl an Inch or %o apart fastened down to a little below the knees. Rrom there the matertal Is permitted to flare out widely. Most frequently, however, the upper part of, these kirts is composed of a plain Atting yoke, while at the ‘kness fa ted flounce under a bias band or fold of the put on to hide the joining. In fact there Is no limit to the vagaries of the walking skirt of the moment, and the more Ingenious the o g n of flat effects about the hips with full ness be knees the more desirable. All these skirts are made four Inches from the ground All exaggeration in regard to the length of the line ove the natural walst line has disappeared, and on wany strietly ta ade skirts there 1s a return to the one-inch belt, the waist line always being in the normal position.
