in effect by their velvet trimming.
Little girls are as fond of the Rus

Their preference in this respect il
gratified by making up delicious COS
TUNES of this nature. frequently tn
blouse forms the outer wrap, and il
trimmed, with dainty fur. A fame,
bodice is worn under it with the dres
skirt.
| School frocks are O most, perhap
the most, important factor in girl
wardrobe, and they must be made Q
good serviceable material that viii
stand the hard service of daily wear
says q writer in Harper's. A goo
plan is to start with two. so that the,
can be worn alternately, and, if nee'
be, more can be added after the Christ
mas holidays. It is most toolisl
plan to accumulate many frocks TO
any young girl; far better to buy ther
when needed.
