School Styles in Coats and Gowns
Suitable for Misses.
Through September and October
chambray frocks viii be needed for
girls of school age. A pretty dress
for girls Of 8 to 10 is made of pale blue
chambray with yoke and cuffs decor
ated with rings of embroidery in
feather stitch. The skirt is gathered
at the belt and is finished with three
deep tucks. Another pretty dark
chambray frock has a box plated
waist finished with a collar of white
linen. A tie of the same material
finishes the waist and the skirt in box
plaits is stitched fiat half way to the
hem. One of the most striking suits
for girls about 8 or 10 is of rose pink
linen, embroidered in black and white.
This is worn with a black belt and
white guimpe.
Serge and challis are to be the fall
materials for school frocks, as they
can be easily and successfully reno
waited. The prevailing trimming will
be of braid, soutache being the favor
tie, especially now, as it can be OBJ
tanned in every shade. There is also
new plaid silk braid which has an
intermingling of shining gold thread
that lends a dash to a small gown
which is very effective. Buttons are
one of the trimmings which will be
popular in decorating the little maids
gown. and these are carefully chosen
to contrast with the goods and to
harmonic with the braid or stitching.
As usual there is g. cry about the
forthcoming plaids. which is fire.
quently cry of wolf, but which from
all indications will really materialize
this year. A belt in leather that
matches either a stripe of the plaid or
the buttons is a fashionable addition
to the small frock.
A dark blue cashmere frock is made
with deep shoulder plaits to cross sur
plice fashion over a chemisette OF
white challis, and with it is worn
white leather belt. For the linen and
bingham fTocks which will be worn
until fall the stitched linen belt,
fastened with white mother of pearl
buckles, is the proper one.
Suspender suits of light weight woods
are to be worn for school, With guimpes
OF lawn or linen while sailor suits with
kilt skirts made of alpaca will be
worn by the girls from 8 to II as soon
as the weather is cool. One of the
most serviceable sailor suits is of black
serge, with two sets of white ADJUST
able collars and dickies, one of brill
liantine and the other of duck. These
collars are made with big buttonholes
that are turned to the inside and under
the collar in buttoning on the blouse.
All the sailor suits come with kilt
skirts, and box and side plaits are to
be used largely, as they are especially
becoming to the fat and undeveloped
figure. Guimpe dresses, while q lit
tie warmer than sgspender frocks, at
ford way of freshening up and wear
ing changes in the guimpe, which is
always attractive to the school girl.
In making a dress from remnants or
in making over an older persons
gown two pieces in the skirt can be
used, the upper part forming q deep
flounce. and a narrower fiounce set
underneath on a foundation.
The colors most in demand either in
simple trimmed braid suits or in the
combination suits made sailor, guimpe,
or suspender with a wool waist), will
be red and blue, red and white, black
and light blue, and dark blue and
green.
Coats for little folks, instead of be-
ing short, are cut TO reach to the
hem of the gown, and differ little from
the cut of the frock. They are made
of serge for fall wear, and are cut
with plaits and finished with turn over
collars about i've inches wide, of Gro
chet lace, with little fat round cuffs
to match. A belt can be worn with
these as well as with frocks, and they
are usually unlined, being made with
carefully finished seams and with de-
tachable Innings of China silk. This
allows of their being washed and
ironed, If made of white serge, especi-
ally if the part cotton kind is chosen.
The little bright red REFERS which are
always pretty will be worn again this
fall For larger girls there are fall
coats of gray and white wool mix
lures. They have roll collars of blue
colored cloth, and are fitted with step
collars OF white linen or pique, which
only partially conceal the blue.
The circular coat is q returning fea-
ture of fashion, both for young people
and their elders. They are made in
different lengths and are furnished
with straps like the golf cape of yore.
They are more fanciful and usually
longer than the golf cape, however,
some of them being made of plaid
Scotch tweed, to reach nearly to the
skirt. They have turnover collars of
velvet and large velvet buttons, and
the most luxurious are lined with thin
Chinese silk. Young girls, particularly
OF /-e high school and grammar school
size. will wear them in navy blue, with
blue velvet collar and buttons, and
lined in burnt orange silk. For girls
OF this age they are cut three-quar-
ter length, or just below the hips.
