school frocks are the first to be
made up. These are to have the
pored skirts so cut that they will
fare around the foot, or else made
with attached flounce; there are
Over-skirts on some of the frocks-
the pointed over-skirts long enough
only to show the edge of the tlounce
on the under-skirt: but the smartest
have no over-skirts, and the trim
ming, when there is any, consists of
braid or braiding. Dark blue and
dark green heavy serges and camel's
hair and bright brown light weight
cloth are popular materials. One
attractive frock of dark green has

The Proper Tilt of the Hat.

the brim somewhat mitigates the
evil, but it exists nevertheless, and
another one attendant on it-viz.,
the angle at which the hat is worn,
setting in absolutely a straight line
across the head and coming low
down on the forehead, with the re-
suit that becomingness is reduced to
a minimum.
The angle for the hat when the
couture is low is slightly off the
forehead when the comb now so
much in vogue is inserted at the
base of the crown coils; then the
hat tips slightly downward. Another
method of Disgusting the vacuum be-

a half circle of flowers, preferably
crush roses, beneath the brim; but

darts in front of the skirt and the

bell shapes. The ribbon started
from the belt, and at the end of the
dart became little bows. 1t would
