When you question this custom you al

old custom, they tell you, in Paris that a
young woman of family is never seen

PLAIN AND SENSIBLE.
The usual French girl is very plainly
and sensibly dressed for school, She
has not a great number of school gowns,
but they are well chosen and are made
with great care.
One of the popular school gowns with
tall, slender girls is a gown of Scotch
plaid cheviot. AT least the skirt is of the
plaid cheviot. 1t is made on the bias, fits
closely over the hips and has the fullness
all gathered to the back. The most pop
ular plaids combine dark blue and green.
With these skirts are worn smart
blouses Of solid blue or green cheviot.
These are generally turned over to the
tailor, for they are not successes unless
they have the unmistakable tailor fin
ish.
Some of the smartest of these blouses
are made with a plain black and a short
pointed yoke The fronts are tucked in
several punches. and are allowed to
blouse a trifle over the belt. The sleeves
are very moderate bishop sleeves, with
only the slightest bit of fullness at the
bottom to be gathered into the cuffs.
Linen collars and dark ties are worn
with these blouses.
The chief virtue about this gown is that
