A very sensible feature Of the dress
Of the school miss is the wash waist
and wash guimpe. The heavy cottops
are good and warm, and lighter weight
linens can be worn all winter over a
long-sleeved corset cover. Like Their
mothers, the waists for older girls are
somewhat on the tailored order, but g
few have frills, a fashion put forth by
London tailors.
The favorite outdoor costume for
young girls for common wear is the
long-coat suit of heavy wool; of serge
cheviot, fancy weave, or mayhap broad
rsloth. For dressy wear perhaps the
young lady will consider she must have
a short coat suit Desirable separate
coats are of seven-eighths length, but
the short coat continues in favor for
the more elaborate street costume.
There is much buying Of seps rate
skirts for the school girl, and these are
made very plain, wholly untrimmed
The same materials are employed as
used in the suits. Mohair waists prom
Use to be very popular, and there are
exquisite ones of white on display. Mo-
hair school dresses will be worn all
winter: they have the advantage of
easily shaking off the dust.
An attractive little frock for best is
made of soft cashmere or henrietta.
There is a narrow, plain panel at the
front of the skirt, and the rest falls
In largish pleats. The waist is a sur
plice, the fullness confined in pleats.
With a variety in the chemisettes this
little costume will pass muster for
many occasions.
{ The right kind of schoolgirl does not
care to bother much about clothes
wants something she can throw on
J without waste of time; and the alien.
veloping wrap she looks upon as true
friend. The one here illustrated is OF
blue cloth, the color little brighter
than navy; the fullness at the back Is
fitted by broad box pleats ornamented
with several rows Of black silk stitch.
