FOR THE SCHOOL GIRL.
BY BEATRICE BOWLER.

hnel or the holidays Is heard when
the question Of the girls outfits for
the Christmas term Is mooted. Even
provided that the glories OF an Indian
summer form q break in the chill
autumn days, It is the coming cold
weather which the Mistress Of the
RooeS" in the home circle has chiefly
TO consider. Although broadcloth Is
high in favor at present, It has been
given the cold shoulder" as regards
school room wear, and serge, frieze
and homespuns divide the honors be-
tween them. For school girls al
shades Of red, including dahlia, are
popular, while a small army Of brick
recs and rose pinks are prominent
features on the color card" Of the
coming season, some very smart little
costumes having been carried out in
one or other of these tones and
trimmed with black taffetas
A good tailor-made is always an es-
sential part OF a girls attire, and
these are nearly all made with shor:
coats-pleated and tight-ftting at the
back-the waist being defined by a
belt Of the same material OF which
the costume is made. while the fronts
are perfectly plain and fashioned IN
doubled breasted form. To be thor
oughiy up to date. these coats should
reach no lower than three inches be-
low the waist line and are braided in
military fashion. bright surfaced silk
braids being specially popular. The
smartest short Jackets for autumn and
winter wear are bound all round with
wide braid, which is repeated on the
pocket flaps and cuffs. while brande-
bourgs in thick twisted cord make a
very becoming finish TO this type OF
costume.
a neat little coat and skirt which
has been made for school girl Of 10
is of deliberately braided wood brown
fTiezc lined with apple-green taffetas.
the reverse and collar being of brown
velvet while large brown velvet but
tons embroidered i'm green silk provide
additional adornment. The extra cost
Of lining OF this description is by no
means nm extravaganza, for IL is an in
disputable fact that to provide a girl
in her teens with costume smartly
lined and well finished is to make her
take greater interest I'm her appear
oncc. besides giving her a double I'm
centive towards taking care of her
CLOTHES.
There is some talk OF the return TO
favor of scarlet cloth. dolmans for
school girls Of 10 to IL. and these. lined
with scarlet silk and an interlining of
dOmet viii form very cosy wraps for
winter days. Cloaks in cape form al
ways Justify their existence i'm the
case OF growing girls, and this year
they have the further support of Ia
mode. and are by no means confined TO
the school room.
AS regards indoor gowns. a soft
make of cashmere will be much en-
ployed. the pleated frOck with panel
effect down the front being particular
~ suitable as means of hiding the
angularities OF young figure.
Dresses in light, pastel shades OF cloth
adorned with insertions OF pleated
tafetas to match outlined with a
stitched strap. will be much seen for
sunday" wear and smart occasions.
while the rule as regards long sleeves
IS usually relaxed when the frock is
not destined for knockabout treat
ment For everyday" attire there is
however, nothing 10 beat the plain
navy blue serge skirt with blouse OF
flannel or washing silk. sleeves reach
ing to the waist being of course, a
sine Qua non.
IN the matter OF headgear, the old
fashioned beaver with long silky nap
has come back to favor. and as moth
ing has ever been found which bet
ter suits a young face than a large
black hat of this description, it is
hardly surprising that the orders for
these are already very numerous. For
best, occasions these hats are
trimmed with immensely long black
ostrich plumes caught with rosettes
Of black velvet. these forming the
only trimming Of the hat, wh.e 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
a couple OF quilts. or are adorned with
q fat folded bow OF ribbon and two
wings placed on one side and fastened
with a large buckle. These hats are
designed i'm white, pearl, champagne
garnet or myrtle, or I'm the ever-use-
ful navy blue or brown, the brims hav.
ing a narrow bind of ribbon &c

same make are designed with round
indented crowns. the brims being
turned UP on either side and caught
with a couple OF white or shaded
wings, while numbers OF the fiat
crowned hats will have a couple Of
large ones spread out on the crown.
The ideal furs for school girls are
ermine. beaver. black or gray as
trakhan, squirrel and otter. Long,
haired furs are never suitable. and alsC
