LATE SUMNER FASHIONS.
some Early Pail Hints for school
GIrI and Matron.


NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-some new pin
dotted woods, not greatly unlike French
barge. are very pretty. with bright or
somber background, these delicate stuhs
are ranked among the FIRST autumn ma
terials. the flexible weaves admitting all

solidly stitched with silk matching the dots.
A charming school frock for a girl OF l6
was in one OF these new woods, red dots
on a blue background. The band trimming
was Of plain red stitched with blue, three
rows showing on the back of the skirt and
some tabled pieces forming a round yoke
and cuffs for the blouse bodice.
The model Of the skirt was very odd.
The front breadth was perfectly plain, the
back box-pleated from a point Just below
the hips. The three bands, which held

Cloth In solid colors is seen on other
school girl frocks, shaping odd collars and
cuffs on notified and checked tweeds.
Scarlet Is a brilliant note with many
dresses and white furnishings are more
tina ever used.
A very novel little gown, shown by a
shop famous for Juvenile wear, was In
brown and white checked tweed, with a
white cloth collar and cuff bands.
Plain blue bunting realized another neat
frock, this one depending almost entirely
upon tucking for ornament, while the
daintiest novelty challies we're made up
to have a fetchlngly French air.
sImpIiaed Editions.
In truth, all Of these youthful costumes
seemed only slmplined editions Of adult
hneries. The same details distinguish the
wear Of is and 30, both matron and maiden
sleeves bulging in great puffs below the
elbow; all the family bodices running to
blouse effects, and skirts for all ages bloom
ing with middle trimmings, as you might
say. That is, the new jupe decoration is
between the belt and the hem, at the hip
quarter or lower down. Only really little
girl skirts are trimmed directly at the
bottom.
Apropos of the blouse bodice. It Is to
be more worn than ever, say the big dress
makers-the little ones don't count-with
an increased exaggeration Of looseness.
Notice" says one gifted artist Of the
needle, "how the French woman's bodice
is worn, and dilate on the advantages OF a
studied carelessness. The true Partisan
always looks as II her costume were i'm.
promptu. but she displays the art of the
great painter In choosing her combination
and especially does she know that easy
unconfning bodices make her Simmer and
daintier."

Returning to school girls. delightful littl,
tea jackets are being turned out for maid
ems in their teens, the afternoon tifin being
now a most profitable feature Of boarding
school life. At these 4 o'clock gatherings
to which on Saturdays come outside guests
plain dark skirts will be begayed by dainty
tailed bodices in gay silks, with knots OF
narrow ribbons or velvet, and batiste OF

The Vassar Jacket
A fetching model in these pretty Jacket
waists is called the Vassar. One design in
this was made in striped P%ompadour silk
pink and blue against q white background.
The shape Of the jacket savored of the late
Louis designs, the untrimmed tails ending,
as did the coats of that class, where the
vest began. Gathered dounces of ecru-
embroidered batiste formed this, a wider
embroidery making the deep collar and
frills for the elbow sleeves. A narrow
belt OF black ribbon velvet held the waist
IN at the back, dropping bows, caugh,
with blue enamel buttons, finishing It al
the sides. The'same 'ornamentation showed
above the iounces OF the sleeves. and the
neck was cut out round and edged with q
band Of black and eoru embroidery.
