up-to-date these coats should 1 reach h.; no no

bright-surfaced silk braids being specially
popular. The smartest short jackets Tor

on the pocket flaps and cuffs. while brande-

been made for school girl Of fifteen is of
deliberately braided wood-brown frieze
lined with apple-green taffetas, the revers
and collar being of brown velvet, while
large brown velvet buttons embroidered in
green silk provide additional adornment.
The extra cost Of lining Of this descrip-
ton Is by no means an extravaganza, for
it is an indisputable fact that to provide
girl in her teens with costume spartly
lined and well-finshed Is to make her
take greater interest in her appearance.
besides giving her double incentive
toward taking care of her clothes
There is some talk of the return to favor
of scarlet cloth dolmans for school girls OF
ten and twelve, and these, lined with scar

form very cozy wraps for wlnetr days.
Cloaks in cape form always justify their
existence in the case of growing girls. and
this year they have the further support Of
la mode, and are by no means confined to
the school room.

wear and smart occasions, while the rule
as regards long sleeves is usually relaxed
when the frock is not destined for knock
about treatment. For everyday" attire
there is. however, nothing to beat the
plain navy blue serge skirt with blouse of
flannel or washing silk, sleeves reaching
to the wrist being, of course, a sine qua

In the matter of headgear, the old
fashioned beaver with long silky nap has
ever been found which better suits a
young face than a large black hat of this
description it is hardly surprising that the
orders for these are already very numer
Gus. For best occasions these hats are
trimmed with immensely long black os-
trch plumes caught with rosettes of black
velvet, these forming the only trimming of
the hat, while mole and leather-colored
beavers will be prominent among the new
models
Sailors" represent. however, the ideal
everyday wear and these are trimmed
with large loose rosettes and couple of
quilts, or adorned with a fiat folded
bow of ribbon and two wings placed on
one side and fastened with a large buckle.
These hats are designed in white, pearl
champagne. garnet or myrtle, or in the
ever-useful navy blue or brown, the brims
having a narrow bind of ribbon to match
In some cases soft felts of the same make
are designed with round. indented crowns

and caught with couple of white or
shaded wings, while numbers of the fiat
crowned hats will have couple of large
ones spread out on the crown.
The ideal furs for school girls are err
mine. beaver, black or gray astrakhan,
squirrel and otter. Long haired furs are
never stable, and also have an untidy ap-
pearance when the hair is worn hanging
down the back. The fur should always be
introduced in the form of trimming on a
coat rather than as a separate accessory,
and when worn with cap and muff to
match has a particularly neat appearance.
