sufficiently long to give the necessary protection out
of doors For the girl whose purse is slender that
she must look well ahead in ordering gown and
must needs consult not only the present week, but
weeks far in the future well. school dress of
cashmere will make better purchase just now than
would the cloth, for a cashmere gown can be
without jacket long after cloth frock is laid
away for another year.
A gown made up by seamstress in the house or an
inexpensive dressmaker whose charge does not include
the cost Of the material should be done at considerably
lower price this year than is generally possible for the
absolute simplicity of the models at present calls for
unwOntedly small amount Of materialnor does this in
any way imply the sheath skirt A bodice absolutely
simple save for narrow band of silk velvet
lining, tiny transparent yoke of tucked net, long,
plain sleeves adorned perhaps with row of buttons
band of silk velvet running down the centre,
finished off with bit of white ruching at the cuff;
high waist line outlined by band Of silk and plain,
not tight. but narrow skirt falling straight from the
waist and unadorned with fold tuck, founce plait'
and has extremely pretty model that be
worked equally well in either serge cashmere
veveteen silk.
For the girl boarding school cashmere in its more
delicate shades and in of its stripe check
and figured effects will be found excellent for the style
of simple evening dress that smart boarding school
demands. Until hand embroidery and real lace be
used to trim the evening gowns it is color far
than design that is important, and this year there is
great wealth of delicate and brilliant hues from which
select. All the pinks in favor and all the queer
as well as the long familiar tones of pale robins
blue while the deep cream, soft yellows and pale
greens are all becoming to the average girl.
Almost as important her morning and evening

becoming wrappers and n6gig6es of real con-
sequence that this part of her outfit should Sasfac
tory the girl herself AlbatrOsS and French flannel
are both good for the bedroom n6glig6e and a gown
of heavy flannel or wadded silk should be provided for
this time of year In all these the old kmono
style is still to be had at every store. but there
now be found somewhat wrappers that are more
fitted at the throat and waist line and have longer
more close fitting sleeves than is possible in kimono
pattern. AlbatroSS, accordion plated with founda-
ton of China silk and trimmed with deep collar and
long tie ends of finest embroidered batiste makes
charming n6gligee Most attractive of ALL however are
the neggee wrappers of soft satin finished silk made
albatroSs.

fashions give hint of spring ideas however it will
noticed that the evening wraps become scant,
although in length they still reach to the hem of the
gown, even when the gown be made with long
train at the back.
For school girl the smartest evening wrap is Of
white cloth, made much like a military cape, with
high standing collar of white fur The cape may be
lined with either squirrel skin or satin waddng,
white, of pale shade of pink blue, perhaps
of cerse. The white wrap is, however no longer so
much in vogue formerly, all shades being now
fashionable for an evening wrap, from paest cream
to brilliant rose pink.
Instead of finishing the cape with attached fur
collar it may be trimmed at the throat with lace or
chiffon and white fur or feather boa worn with it.
In this way the cloak do service for the Easter
Dances when although the weather may still be cod
fur looks inappropriate. The cape should fall TO
within an of the hem of the dress, and II
the gown is still short, may completely cover 1t.

there is still time for college 'proms" between now

SOCIAL AMENITIES FOR
THE SCHOOL GIRL

n our day and generation there is laxty in
manners than would have been tolerated a decade
ago, yet there certain conventions which never
change and the rules which govern the conduct of the
polite world in public places are as fixed as the laws
of the Medes and Persans.
There are. some girls whose behavior i'll public is,
in most instances above reproach yet who seem
able to conduct themselves properly in church. They
attend church regularly and in reverent spirit
without doubt yet in the edifice they act very much
as if it were concert hall, whispering, fdgeting,
bowing friends and otherwise exhibiting restless
ness of demeanor distressing to see.
Every girl knows that fine old adage, ''Punctuaty
is the courtesy of kings and nowhere should this
courtesy be in evidence than in attending church.
To the congregation already assembled when the
vice begins the late conner is disturbing inter
rupton, and as one easily be prompt by taking
little palms, except of course, in the of some
pected delay, girls should exert themselves to conform
to this important rule Of church etiquette.
1t is not good form to chatter in church. in the
lowest of whispering tones either the service
begins during its progress. You should preserve
absolute silence broken only you take part in the
service and your only excuse for speaking otherwise
would be the need Of asking simple question
pertaining to information in regard to The service
your part in it, should such necessity arise. You
should, of course, always painstakingly follow the
service and if it happens to be one with which you
are not familiar do not sit dumb but be clever enough
to follow it along and make yourself one with those
about you. Adaptability is fine thing and quite
important in church elsewhere.
If you sing at all it is very proper for you to
participate in the musical part of the service, but do
feel obliged to make your voice rival that of the
soprano of the choir Moderate your singing keep it
sweet and low in tone and you will thus voice your
praise without conflicting with the singing of those
about you of attracting attention to yourself
which loud voiced girls always do whether singing or
talking.
Bowing in church is not permissible either before.
during after the service. If you catch the eye
friend you may give little smile Of recognition but
that is ALL To strangers who may be placed in your
pew you should show cordiality of manner, and a
young girl is sweeter than when offering little
attentions to strangers like handing them books with
the places found for them, or sharing her books
with them. or even giving up her books alto
gether to them. very thoughtful unSelfsh girl is
sometimes seen to do. When you the stranger it
is place to quietly accept whatever cOurtesies
offered you smiling your thanks, instead of yoc-
ing them. After the service before leaving the pew
you should make point of thanking in words but do
this briefly and not eusively speaking in your quiet
tones for the spirit of the service is still
in the atmosphere and the gently bred observe it by
great dignity of mien.
