SCHOOL GIRLS CLUBS
BY MARGARET E. sANesrER.

NCopyright. 1906, by Joseph b. Bowles.)
Your mothers and sisters and all your
grown-up friends are members of clubs
The lady who has never belonged to a club
never attended club function. and never
known anything about the pleasure incl
dental to study and work In a literary or
social club Is SO exceptional that we have
TO look for her with microscope. Every
town and village has its Mothers Club. or
its Four O'Clock Club, or its Monday After
noon Club. or its club with the name of
one of the muses.. or It's association OF
DANES and daughters, SO unless the girls
have their clubs too. they win really be
rather out of date.
You may IL you like have club just as
the elders have and for much the same pur-
pose. We will suppose that your club has
for its object nature study. This particular
study has had what we may call q boom of
late The birds the flowers, the trees. the
rocks and stones. and everything that has
to do with outdoor life. afford interesting
subjects for those who study nature.
II, in your class work. YOU have taken
up zoology and botany. a club for nature
study will help along by way OF supple
mentary Information and will be greatly
approved by your instructors. You will
have certain days for meetings and certain
other days for long and pleasant walks. for
visiting nature IN her own haunts. Watoh-

ing the birds, the butterflies and the bees
and seeking the wild flowers where they
grow. When you think of 1t it is a shame
that we should live In a beautiful world
with so much that is fascinating to engage
our powers. and yet shout ourselves up
within the bounds Of four walls and know
so little as we do about natures wonderful
works and ways.
Your club may be organized to study
English literature In this case you VIII
meet periodically, arrange course OF
reading, and very likely write papers on
topics assigned to different members L
am not sure that you Will ind 1t so pop
ular a club as one that has outdoor life
for its motive. Many girls think they have
done their whole duty to themselves ami
each other when their school work is fin
ished. Yet literature club would not be
a bad idea, and IN 1t there would be room
for a good deal OF what might be called
side reading Your knowledge OF BOOKS
and authors would be Increased In pleas
ant readings that should be voluntary and
not prescribed by professors and teachers.
. l do not see myself any objection TO
school girls forming a club purely for pur-
poses of fun and recreation. You have so
much hard work in school and at home
that you are entitled very fairly to such
amusenents as you like and such pleas
ures as you can take in company with one
another, You might have a Saturday even
ing club, composed Of circle OF congeniai
girls who de. not live too tar apart from
one another to make meetings early on
Saturday evenings practicable. sometimes
you might assemble at O'Clock and have
supper together at y, finishing an hour or
two afterward with games, music and
storytelling. Or you might meet at Z and
separate at g. Have program arranged
beforehand and conclude with refresh
ments. You might occasionally have a
candy pull or make fudge. ana once

The extremely smart and effective gowns
Of cloth or velvet intended for reception
and afternoon wear are this season excep-
uonally attractive, and there really seems
to be no end to the different styles that are
being brought out all the time, Until it is
hard to realize that this is the time of year
when for the moment new fashions are sup
posed to be held in allegiance. There has
been constant reference made to the beauty
OF these costumes. but there would seem to
be sufficient excuse for a never ending dis
sertation upon them A pale pink or blue
gown with insertion and applique or heavy
lace does not sound in the mere description
thereof to be anything unusual; in reality

spring and summer. For instance, these
long fiat stoles made of fur are already be-
ing copied in marabout and ostrich feathers
and In lace and chiffon. The latter materials
when made up In this wise are named scarfs
instead of stoles, but are in precisely the
same pattern. The spangled net scarfs are
on the same order, and fashionable as they
nave been all winter will be more than ever
In demand for spring and summer The cloth
and velvet gowns turned out now are the
pest designs for the spring and summer
gowns OF lighter weight material. SO that 1t
Is quite possible for any woman who is anx-
ious to keep ahead in everything to start on
her summer wardrobe while winter still
Teigns supreme.

In the gauziest. thinnest possible weayes,
which yet have that delicate witness pos

but the stamped border is tremendously
dashing, being very wide and of vivid color
Ing and bold design. One striking and beau
tiful design a white pineapple cloth had
border of Vivid electric blue and equally
vivid orange The electric blue was In huge
discs. which were oyerlaid with branches of
orange flowers. On less diaphanous ma
terial the coloring might have looked coarse,
but on the silvery white pineapple cloth
and in such very gauzy material the bril-
lance of coloring and holiness of design
give needed vividness and character.
Next to the bordered materials those
which are dotted all over with sprays,
flowers, dots. etc. colored on a white gown,
seem to be the most interesting among the
thin fabrics. The figures are not close to-
gether. but are regularly scattered over the
material They are embroidered either in
cotton or silk, according to the nature of
the groundwork. white cotton batiste
was embroidered with pink cotton flowers.
and a striped pink null, which was part
silk and part cotton was embroidered with
pink silk sprfgs
Other characteristic newcomers to the cot
ton goods counters are the ali-oyer eyelet
embroidery in solid colors. These come In
robes, the skirts being made with q deep
Hounce of the same. The eyelet embroidery
covers the entire skirt and waist These
gowns are shown in pink, white pale blue,
black and gray They are handsome and
snowy. but since the embroidery Is not hand
made they do not seem so dainty In effect
as the bordered gowns or the sprigged
batistes which have been already described
nd-embroidered towels are among the
new things for elaborate household fitting
and are considered particularly attractive
gift for girl friend to make to a bride as
an example of her handiwork. They also
make an attractive gift for girl who is
very fond of some particular blossom and

Frivolities of Fashion.

Every day fashion Is exhibited as turning
more and more to the before the war
styles for her latest ideas. The most ex-
elusive linen shops are now bringing out as
the very newest thing the collars that were
fashionable In 1910 They are made OF en-
broidery and Valenciennes on fine linen and
are double, an upper collar falling over a
lower one They are in reality more like
capes than collars They have no collar
band and are meant to wear with dress
cut low In the neck or perfectly round,
without any collar band They are not
gathered anywhere. but are perfectly plain
fitting. They fall well over the shoulders
and are even longer Ia back and front fall
Ing In some Instances to the glrdle In front.
Some OF the collars open In front and some
in back. The edges are finished with Valen-
ciennes or with an embroidered scallop.
Around the top they are finished in the
same way. Both upper and lower cape are
hand embroidered and have insertions of
NalencIennes. They cost fabulous sums
ones Lucky is the woman who can turn
TO an ancestral chest for one OF them.
With these go the exquisite fine linen I'M
dersleeves for wear with elbow sleeves.
They are also made OF the sheerest linen
and most exquisitely embroidered and trim
med with frill OF lace around the hand
s1nd another around the top.
These. of course. are the most beautiful
new things of this kind. but modern taste
Sas devised number of designs which.
while they certainly do not improve upon
the old designs of linen lace and embroid-
cry, still afford needful variety In collars
and undersleeves. Round collars with I'M
ders!eeves to match are being shown made
of net and heavy lace medallions and en-
broidered I'm gold. silver and pale colors.
The collars are round having medium
height collar band. They are broad enough
TO fall over the shoulders, and the same
depth in the back. In the front they slope
down toward point or are extended in a
broad band which Is tucked into the girdle

tends fully two-thirds up the front panel
Bordered frocks are evidently to be the
distinctive style OF the coming summer We

ing summer. which are now being imported
IN such quantities and which many persons
buy at this season of the year so that all
summer frocks may be well out of the way
before April or May, when the joys of out
door life begin, show many designs and
eolors OF the old-fashioned bordered ma
terial.
Fashionable shops which have secured
these advanced styles In cotton and linen
goods. have already sold out many varieties,
and there seems no doubt that the craze for
bordered frocks will run very high
Bordered batiste Is among the most fragile
and expensive of these materials now being
shown. 1t is shown IN white, with two
rows of rosebuds and leaves In pink and
green for the border. The embroidery is
very fine and done in silk. Between the
rows of embroidery there is a row OF bead
ing. which Is not set in. but is made like
embroidery, directly on the material. This
beading is about hale an inch Wide, and is
meant for ribbon to be of the color of the
flowers, or, perhaps, when they are pink, In
pale blue. Other designs shown were many
colored sweet peas on a pale yellow batiste
and yellow and white daisies on a pink one.
A green batiste also had border of sweet
peas. The material is expensive. being sold
at So a yard. but even at that price the
shops do not care to let 1t go by the yard.
Nine or ten yards are required for dress.
Bordered linen. also new and highly pop
ular. is shown for 81 10 a yard. The linen
is rather heavy in quality and is shown in
white, brown and natural linen shades. 1t

of velvet and cloth, the same models In ba-
tiste or yelling are even more effective. The
beauty of the well-cut princess gown has
been shown in the cloth gowns, and the
same lines will be found effective and
graceful in thin fabrics. Fur wraps and
those of feathers or lace can be on just the
same models and be just as becoming if
only care be taken that around the neck the
shape Is right. Fur lies fiatter than feathers.
and consequently the width of the stole or
wrap may have to be changed from the
original model, but the careful woman pays
heed to all such details and does not follow
too blindly In the lead Of any fashion.
Combining ostrich and marabout feathers

are to be made so all important In the sum-
mer wardrobe.
1t is odd to notice how graceful and eff
fective an apparently shapeless fur wrap
will appear when well put on and worn over
smart costume. Many of the most costly
wraps of the season are of chtnehilla or
sable, with such long shoulder seams that IT
Is difficult to discern which is the wrap
and which is the sleeve. There is no indica-
ton of waist line or definite shape. and yet
exceedingly smart ia the universal verdict
that is pronounced whenever one of these
wraps is seen. The truth is that the lines
are most carefully studied, and II a woman

" YRS and lscS~ always appeal most
IL frresistioIy to women who are fond
of handsome dress. and the whole
~ year round there are opportunities
for wearing not only laces, but furs,
80 that they are never a poor investment.
Automobiling has made fur coats and fur
lined garments Of all kinds a necessity, and
even In summer It is not thought practical
to pack them away, for should there be any
unseasonably cold days the fur-lined coat
or wrap always is in immediate demand.
In keeping with all the luxury and I'M
bridled atmosphere of this era of the world
is the increasing call for the most costly OF
furs. Skins OF almost fabulous value are
not considered at all too costly to be worn
in most casual fashion. and sables and chin
chil!as of greatest beauty are seen on all oc-
casions.
Wearing furs with fur is one of the ex-
travagances OF the age. and, while the
statement seems somewhat involved to the
uninitiated. II is most clear and simple

often equal II in value.
A coat of sable Is rarely supplemented
with other fur, but Persian lamb, In MORE,

style is more or less practical, for the sep

pieces; whereas before they were. as trim

quently useless FOR any other purpose
The present style of collarless coats makes
this scheme more practicable, anyway, for
there Is not the same chunkiness as whca
a fur coat or stole was put on over the coll
lar OF the coat. In these days such details
make or mar the effect OF the finish of a
costume, and no end of care and thought is

produces a softer effect for the former and
a richer effect in the latter, and they ara
combined in both light and dark colors.
The cocks feather boas are also improved
upon by the introduction of marabout
throughout. and the added expense Is rot
worth considering In the face of ;ho result
attained. 1t is certain that these stoles VIII
for some time be popular, the only danger
being that the cheaper ones VIII be within

larity invariably means sudden death to any
marked style of dress. The expensive styles
are too expensive for the great majority
and consequently will have a longer period
