was something truly satanic in the scarlet
folds of the silken robe; but the effect was
very much softened by a white chiffon yoke

bands of black ribbon velvet held with
rhinestone buckles.
Her trunk was a revelation, after peeps
into the trunks of other girls just back
from mountains or sea-trunks full of faded
finery, draggled and torn dance frocks,
shirt waist suits shrunken to the knees and
dingy with grass stains and wheel grease;
hats that looked like the dropping feathers
of a badly battered cock, and petticoats
limp with the limpness that comes of salt
water and mountain dew.
But how she was asked, could you
know what to get so early in the season.
and aren't you afraid that your frocks will
not be just what you may want later?"

SOME PRETTY SCHOOL DRESSES.

before being cut over. Odd blouses for
wear with separate skirts are desirable ad-
ditions to the schoolgirls wardrobe. Waists
wear out so much more quickly than skirts
that in households where money Is not very
abundant any device that will prolong the
usefulness of a child's costume is hailed
with delight. Old skirts often make hand
some blouses for girls of twelve or thirteen
years. Plenty of braid. velvet ribbons, silk
trimmings or fancy buttons are now used
to decorate odd 81 ists. The tiny metal but
tons arranged in geometrical designs over
the bodice fronts are still considered fash
ionable. Washable b-ouses made of such
materials as serge or French flannel are
beautifully ornamented with silk braid.
The collar, cuffs, belt and revers are cut
out, stamped with a pattern. over which
the braid is run before they are stitched
to the dress. Black and white trimming
looks well with almost any color OF cloth.
Sometimes a smart finishing touch is added
to a blouse by means Of embroidery silk,
which unites the loops of the braid with
some cobweb-llke lace stitch. Lace-stitched
black braid on red blouse makes a truly
handsome appearance.
Graceful Shapes Always.
Children's fall bodices are either cut
straight and loose in front or they are Of
the blouse variety. Girls wooden bIouses
are made without Innings, because they thus
are easier to wash Detachable collars to
wear with plain bodices are provided for
the French schoolgirls fall outfit. These
may be made at home, and thus need cost
very little. With dark blue sailor blouses
the pique sets, crossed with stripes of inser-
ton or embroidery. are very handsome.
Guns 10 slip over the sleeve are a striking
finish. but they soil quickly that they

something that looks like the umbrellas OF

are diminutive models of the pearl and

the children prefer those handles which
terminate in hook, ring or loop Of some
Sort so that it may be slipped over the arm
when 1t is not acting protection from
sun or rain. These hooks are also found
useful in the house or schoolroom, for the
umbrellas may be neatly rolled and hung
in place instead of being left to sprawl
about over the floors, where they are in
the way of every one. Inside each cover on
a bit of white cloth neatly stitched to- the

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
PARIS September 6, 1902.
The Frenchwoman is one of the most ad-
mirable mothers in the world, and with
the same taste and system which is display
ed in the selection of her own wardrobe
she plans her daughters school outfit. Tn
like the American mother, who is largely
influenced by appearances. or the English
mother. who sacrifices everything to util-
ity, the true Parisienne arrives at a happy
mean and clothes her children in garments
which are at once pretty and serviceable.
AS the young demoiselle of good family
spends most Of the fall and winter ut a con-
vent school, she naturally needs very
simple garments Her lingerie Is neat and
pretty. but is not so expensive or so or
nately trimmed as it will be a few years
later when she is launched in society. She
is provided with one best dress and one for
school wear or for walking A simple coat
is required for cold days becoming
little hat is trimmed with ribbons or draped
with velvet. This season fiat shapes are
mOdish.
Well shaped shoes. stockings and gloves
are looked upon as important and the
French mother insists upon nicely of fit
She believes that the future shapelinesS of
her daughters limbs depends much on the
size and shape of hand and foot coverings
At present sandals are favored for indoor
wear because the low shoes afford freedom

the French school girl has not the aversion
to ''babyish" attire which the American
girl displays. Very chic are some of the
designs. although for small children the
aprons are merely white slips that cover
the dark frock.
The Clever French Mother.
The French mother is too clever to make
the mistake of thinking that anything will
do for the children" The young girl just
entering her teens is keenly alive to the
charm of smart clothing, and her taste may
be forever vitiated if she is compelled to
wear unbecoming and shabby clothes when
1t is quite unnecessary that she should do
so. The discarded garments of her elders
can never be made over to look quite q
nice new ones. If old clothes must be
adopted by the juvenile members of the
family the material should be taken apart.

costumes seen In Reynolds. Gainsborough
and Romney portraits. Swiss muslins,
mousselnes de sole, pretty nets, spotted
musiins and gayly colored louisine silks are
chosen for these dresses in preference to
more pretentious fabrics. The low, round
necks and elbow sleeves are modestly
adorned with lace, while handsome silk
sashes are provided for the waists.
The Russian Blouse
For small girls the Russian blouse and
the various types of sailor dresses are at
present preferred for everyday use. The
long waists of these frocks are indicated
by pointed belts and are supplemented by
moderately full but very short skirts. For
a small child a white muslin with a sash
is the only correct gala garb.
Do you know that every child provided

fitted lining. which supports the plated vest
of white serge. The loose blouse of dark
blue serge has a stitched box plat on each
side the vest. The square sailor collar Is
trimmed with a band OF the polka-dotted
velvet. which also forms the tie. The cuffs
of the loose sleeves are polka-dotted velvet,
and a plated collar has turned over tabs Of
the dotted material.
Velvet Trimmings.
Velvet IS to form one of the most popular
and satisfactory trimmings for fall and
winter garments. For children its soft pile
is very becoming, although it is supposed to
be the characteristic fabric for the gown
OF the opulent and stately dowager. Polka
dots in all sizes, fieur-de-lis, tiny flowers
and wavy patterns are beautifully stamped
on soft velvets to look like embroideries.
The bright new yelveteens and velvets are
Just the fabrics for Jokes, revers, collars
and cuffs for small blouses. and the ex-
quisite Persian designs make handsome
vests.
Coats of kersey, broadcloth, cheviot and
covert cloth are shown by designers. There
seems to be an equal number of short and
long coats in the shops so it is difficult to
say which will be most fashionable. The
garments are only fitted in the back and are
supplied with round, turned over collars
and small revers. MORE, yelours and vel
vet coats are adorned with deep collars
over which lace ones may be adjusted if a
really handsome one can be used, but no
lace at all is better than a cheap collar
