Take the matter of shaking hands on

men except-and here Is another dis

frock has a crushed belt and sash of
plain silk null, which fastens to the

broad blue fringe. A blue satin ribbon
is worn in the hair.
Net frocks for girls are made with

vice for trimming girls frocks is to
have ribbon flowers made to meet in
the middle of the lace flowers which
are used for trimming or to supple

way.
Even more fashionable are the
frocks of net, which are braided in fine
cord as the only means of Ornamental

color. but sometimes two shades are

the ordinary outfit these elaborate
gowns are not necessary, and how
ever much the girl may envy them on
occasions she will usually settle down
to perfect contentment with her own
simple styles, comfortable short skirts
and freedom from the overburdening
cares OF dress.

are very attractive for wear with blue

which most girls find useful as the cold
weather comes on. especially for out OF
door sports and tramps. These. too are
made along strictly tailored lines and
are worn with linen collars or stocks
The silk waists, which should also
be included, are of the tailored class
and also in more dressy styles. There
is usually at least one silk waist to
match the tailored suit, that is sum
cfently dressy to serve for afternoons
at the matinee, where more elaborate
dressing Is not convenient.
For the girl who prefers guinpe
frocks to shirt waists and skirts there
are of course TO be provided linen and
muslin guimpes in abundance, those for
school wear being usually made quite
plain and trimmed only with tucking
or very little embroidery.
In the school girls neglige there IS
no more popular material than figured
or plain challies. Cashmere is also
used, as well as mummy cloth. Hen
rietta cloth. etc. Then there are thin
negliges of lowered muslin or dfnnity

OF course the party frock is not to be
forgotten in the schoolgirls outfit, and,
though at first glance it might not be
considered so imperative a necessity as
the other articles Of her wardrobe
which have been enumerated, every
body who knows anything about the
girls life is aware that even in a
boarding school existence there are oc-
casions when one needs a party frock
Besides, there are visits home and visits
to the homes of friends where there
are apt to be festivities of one sort or
another, so that altogether the party
frock must be included in the school
girls list.
Among the fabrics which are most
popular for this purpose are the silk
mulls, mousseline de sole, silk batiste,
embroidered muslins and flowered silk.

Plans for New school Building.
The South Omaha Board of Education
held a special meeting Wednesday evening
to consider the advisability OF building an
addition to the West Side school. d. ].
Ferrel was appointed by the board to draft
plans and Specifications for a four-Toom
addition. The building being simple, the
board thought 1t not necessary to hire an
expensive architect to prepare the plans.
but placed the board carpenter to work
to make a carpenters Specifications. AS
soon as these plans are ready the board
will advertise the contract. The addition
TO the West Side school is much needed
at this time. The rooms we're so crowded
last year that some of the overflow pupils
had to be accommodated at Madison school
and some at Corrigan school. The addition
Of four new rooms is thought to be suf-
ficient to relieve the congestion for this
year. Several complaints were issued last
year on this need.
