hats, simply trimmed. jaunty and youthful,
topped the useful outfits delightfully."-.
For the rest it was quite plain from the
framing of some of the window exhibits
that the foot ball game, which is always
feature of Thanksgiving, had been consid-
cred. Surrounded by streamers in the fav-
orite college colors, heavy outdoor gowns
competed for notice with dainty, cloud-like
evening frocks. Harvard, Yale and Prince
ton rosettes adorned the breast of many
fetching shirt waist-shirt waists simple
enough for the girls themselves to make.
But before we come to them there Is an
entire costume that should be introduced
q natty thing worn by wax girl of per-
haps eighteen. 1t was of white and brown
checked tweed In one of the newest models
designed for young persons not yet "out."
Trimmed with golden-brown velvet and SIX
medallions Of white cloth embroidered with
brown, skirt yoke and shoulder cape in
deep tucks were it's most effective features
Aside from this narrow yoke the skirt,
which was In seven cores, was perfectly
plain The tucked bodice was in blouse
shape, with velvet forming the round yoke,
the cuffs and girdle. One of the square
cloth medallions was placed at the front Of
the stock like a brooch. Three others,
posed at the same diamond angle, orna-
mented the front of the bodice, which fast
ened under the left arm. The baggy puff
sleeves were very small at the top, with a
single medallion on the velvet cuffs and the
crush belt hooked little girl fashion under

least, the costume was lined throughout
with brown taffetaline a lining cheaper and
warranted more durable than the taffetas
once used.
Made in all the colors of the season, tat
fetaline can be had at thrty-nine cents a
yard 1t is lighter in weight and a little
less lustrous than pure taffeta. but the eff

tie Is obtained
Very charming were other gowns for
maidens who have passed the little girl
stage, and yet must cling to the simplicity
good taste requires for golden youth.
The Tartan Woods.
Some tartan woods of rich coioring were
subdued with black braids and black tat
feta bands, put on in many odd ways. The
popular puffed sleeve and the equally pop
ular postrlion belt were everywhere visi-
bic: the latter takes all the shapes the
mind of mortal can devise. A V-shaped fan
in pleats, the upside down, was one rear
appendage found more than passable 1t
was part OF wool canvas gown in the
brightest blue-that sparkling mazarin-ish
shade which suggests the ball that the
washwoman drops into her rinsing wafer
The model was delightfully."- simple a habit
skirt with three narrow foot folds and a
blouse jacket plainly stitched. With all
this modesty the postilllOn fan al the back
OF the belt seemed veritable mganificence
Three dainty little waists gave other
hints for effects to be obtained by simDle
methods. A bodice in Sevres blue delaine
was made radiant by q black embroidery

only other trimming bias band In

around the shoulders of the bodice, took a
