many dainty boxes of various shapes for

Collar and Tie for the School Miss.
The newest fancy in collars is for the
striped turnover, the stripes being of
medium widths and running up and down.
These collars are in green and white.
blue and white. pink and white. etc.
They are the rather high turnover chok-
ers which have become popular in the
last year. Some of these collars have
no trimming, while many have round
or square pieces of lace set in at inter-
walls, the material being cut away under
meath. 1nese conars are to be worn
with plain shirt waists in white or tan
linen or flannel or with waists of plain
material in the color of the stripe.
For quite young girls small sailor col
lars are also made in this striped linen
Some of these collars are the square
sailors, and others are fiat turnovers
without any standing band. The small
er the girl the wider the collar, but most
of them are quite small for sailor col
lars. Many girls wear these perfectly
fiat collars without standing pands
through all their school days. because
it is thought to keep their necks whittier
and smoother. The high collars are de-
clared by many to be ruinous to a pretty
neck.
Quite large bows of soft satin are now
or with sailor collars. They have sew
eral loops at each end. the loops all being
finished in points. There are also Wind
sor ties of fine linen, with lace and en-
broidery decorating the ends.
School Girl Blouses.
There is fad at the moment Sbr linen
blouses embroidered in three or four
colors Yellow, blue and red is a favor
tie combination, done in rather heavy
linen thread on white or ecru linen
Green, red and gray is another favorite
combination, while lavender, yellow and
gray also makes a popular appeal.
Knitted Ties and Gloves.
The knitted ties that were favors made
by girls at winter house parties last
year are now in all the shops and are
especially good Tor the boys wear. Sin
gle colors are in better taste than mix
lures for the juniors, while scarfpins
are better relegated to later years. Any
thing that approaches foppishness is al
most bad as lack of neatness in a
boys dress. Plain, heavy dogskin gloves
of the single clasp variety or dark gray
or tan castor gloves of similar cut and
make are the standard for children Of
all ages.
Bribery is legitimate as an inducement
to the boy to form the habit of wear
ing his gloves and not losing them. A
regular allowance and stated fines for
certain besetting forms of carelessness
go long way toward teaching the boy
to look out for his belongings and save
the reteration of disagreeable "don'ts,"
but that is another subject.

he will be willing to reciprocate and
change to slippers and civilized attire
when he comes back to dinner. thus lay
ing the foundation for habits that are
the mark of good breeding and that will
last always.
Very loose fitting and of ample full
ness are all the best garments in boys
departments, but the fit Is there, never
theless, and is shown especially about
the neck and shoulders in the coat or
jacket. while the loose. baggy "knickers'
fit smoothly at the waist and hips.
Mixed tweeds. cheviots and friezes are
among the most fashionable as we'll as
the best wearing materials, and the wise
buyer goes to places of established repu-
tation when replenishing her boys outfit.
Experience has proved that economy as
we'll as good taste is better subserved
where clothes are of the best grade.
Even though the initial cost may be
considerably more, the things last much
longer, besides keeping in shape and
looking well as long as they are worn.
Coloring in Children's Clothes.
The charming colors which are to be
used for grownup frocks during the
winter will be available also for chill
drens clothes, and the fashionable dress
makers and providers for children's needs
have some delightful little garments for
small girls of all ages. Shades of null
berry and purple will be much worn.
and frocks and pelisses in these tones,
with SHOES and stockings to match are
shown for best and special occasions.
Black satin directoire coats faced with
white and edged with ermine are very
quaint and pretty. and the black hat
and black beaver bonnet are more than
ever popular. Coal scuttle bonnets in
fawn and beaver tones, with a lining of
pink or pale blue satin, are trimmed
with velvet flowers or ruches or silk
frayed at the edges. Ostrich feathers are
used for little girls hats and bonnets
and prove very becoming.
Juvenile Luncheons.
A luncheon given recently by little
New York girl was most unique and
charming. It was called bird lunch
con. The decorations were all in birds,
artificial and real, and the menu was
mainly birds served in various styles.
The table was laid for twenty, with
fine linen cloth with lace inserts OF
birds. Across the top of the table were
| four large birds in the lace design. In
the center was a miniature woodland
scene under fine wire netting. This

and flying in and out of its tiny trees
and slipping from its running brooks were

To the top of the netting was chained

Footwear Wisdom.

It is wiser, both for economy and COM
fort, to wear alternately two pairs OF
shoes rather than wear one pair all the
time.
When patent leather shows signs of
cracking. take the shoes at once to a
good shoe dealer and have them oiled to
prevent further damage
When shoes are wet do not put them too
near the heat or they will st'ffen and
crack. Turn them. rather, on one side in
dry but not warm place.
Remember that shoes too tightly laced
retard the circulation and in this case
avon the thickest leather will not prevent
the feet from being cold
1t should be remembered that the feet
spread with exercise, and this fact should
be taken into consideration when seated
comfortably at the dealers trying on new
shoes

-HERE is no denying the fact
that clothes play a very i'm
portant part in the small boys
or girls place IN school. There
Is even a social distinction in
the school room that is quite often
brought about by clothes more than any
thing else. and even good qualities are
not tolerated when thrown together IN
a misfit. inl1rmonious fashion. or
course this sort of feeling is all wrong
but il is part of our snobb'sh lie nova
DAYS. and all one has to do IS either 10
keep up with the procession or sink
into oblivion. To come back TO the
nroblem of school clothes, little girls are
particularly sensitive abut their personal
annearance, and it is nothing short OF
positive cruelty for a mother to insist
that Susie shall wear NAMES outgrown
garments unless necessity drives her to
this step. Even here she can make a
virtue of necessity by refitting and al
tering beyond the recognition of the
child's fellow playmates the discarded
apparel.
Do not send a boy to school wearing
a rowdy looking sweater suit. There is
a. child so dressed. Let him put on a
good, serviceable pair of corduroy trou-
sers or any of the cheviot or tweed
mixtures with a shirt waist or. If he is
old enough. u small shirt, which is sup

tie. The little girl can wear a Russian
blouse suit of washable material or
one of the pretty jumper frocks carried
out in a checked or plaid fabric, Then
there is always the old standby, navy
blue serge. The illustration shows a
series of hats for the small girl. The
best Sunday go to meeting hat is of
black beaver with a big bow of black
velvet ribbon covering the front. The
school hat is of navy blue felt trimmed
with a gay plaid scarf. To wear while

For Stout Figures.

When the figure is unduly stout black
should always be worn below the bust,
and even this requires care in choosing.
Brunettes of this type must select goods
with dull surface, such as wolfe and

blondes, although they may wear silky

other classes of women, no matter what

For delicious warmth without any per-

Sleeves and Gown Different in Color

What may be, with skillful treatment. a
very pretty fashion-that of making the
sleeves of an evening gown different in
color and fabric from the rest of the dress
has been revived.
In the case of a recently made evening
toilet, black gauze sleeves were allied to
a white gown, with an outline of black
upon the decolletage to connect the
sleeves, as it were.

The women who are neither brunettes

types at the middle age stage. They may
have missed being pretty as girls. but at
