THOUGH perhaps in detail
a different from the fashions or
~ dained each season for the grown
I'D members of society, the cos
tunes for young girls not yet out
are nevertheless absolutely gov
erned by the vogue of the moment There
is always a greater simplicity in the young
girls frocks. and no elaboration and cost
liness of trimming is ever to be seen, but
the lines are always practically the same.
In general the same textures are em-
ployed and the same styles of dress for
different times of day and different occa-
sions are worn by all ages of woman.
Some years, of course, it is more difficult
than others to adapt the fashions of the
moment to suitable schoolgirl frocks,
while at other times one sees very nearly
the same models worn by girls of fourteen
years and over as are seen on their debu-
tante sisters.
The chief features in which a school
girls outfit win be an imitation of a
debutante's trousseau will be in her street
suits and house gowns Naturally, even
ing or party dresses will be on quite
different SCALE and such a garment as
the reception dress" is unknown until
once girl is an acknowledged member
of the social set in which she is to move.
The school costumes this winter are
-v,,o ~ hncorco co eli and
so essentially practical. One coat and
skirt costume of serge, cheviot, homespun
or some such rough finished material,
worn with a dark waist of net, soft silk
or washable flannel, and then one pretty
but severely simple gown of light weight
cloth or cashmere, over which is worn
in the street long cloak or ulster of
some rough warm goods or of pony skin,
and the girl is well fitted out for the
morning hours
For very young girls suspender and
strap dresses are still worn, but instead
of the eternal separate waist or jumper
of thin linen or lawn the bodice is of
coarse net or chiffon cloth. or even thin
silk, as foulard, which, relieved with a
bit of white at the throat, is quite as
becoming as the all white waist and will
keep clean and fresh far better when
worn each day and all day. Indeed, sep
arate white bodices are nearer their doom
just now than ever before since first in
troduced for they are certainly not smart
for afternoon and do not begin to look
as well with a dark colored street suit
as do the waists which harmonic in color
with the rest of the costume.

PLANS A BREAD line

Feed the Hungry.
RECEIVES MANY APPEALS
Soup, Hot Coffee and Rolls on the
List of Supplies.
NEW SYSTEM OF RELIEF WORK
Maj. Barter Explains What the Or
ganization Is Doing-At the
Gospel Mission.
NEW SYSTEM OF RELIEF WORI

Washington is to have "bread line
for it's unemployed
The many piteous appeals being made
every day by the hungry and homeless to
Maj. NJ Elizabeth Barter, divisional COM
mander of the Salvation Army, and her
officers, has impelled her. she said today,
system of relief work for the poor of the
District of Columbia. In addition to the
establishment of a dread line" Maj.
Barter will also inaugurate "soup line. y
At o'clock In the morning unemployed
men and boys who apply at the headquar-
tiers of the Salvation Army. $50 Penn
sylvania avenue, will be given hot coffee
and rolls. Between II o'clock am. and
o'clock pm. the unemployed will be
furnished with hot soup, and those hav-
ing hungry families may take some of
the soup to their homes.
Maj. Barter said that more than LOO
women have been rescued from lives of
depravity and taken into the homes of
the Salvation Army throughout the coun-
try in the past year, and are now en-
gagged at honorable employment secured
for them by officers of the army. This
is but one of the many phases of the
work of the Salvation Army, she eX-
planned. whose motto is that all suffer
ing poor persons are worthy of food when
they are hungry, warmth when they are
cold and clothing when they are naked.
Suffering in Silence.
The army is enabled to find many fami-
lies the members of which are suffering
in silence rather than risk the entry of
their names on any records as paupers or
poverty stricken. Swift relief is extended
to such, Maj Barter explained, and the
names of those relieved are kept inviolate.
The members of the relief squad of the
Salvation Army penetrate into the moi
some alleys and tenements of the District
and search out the distressed and starv-
ing and afford them almost instant relief.
There is no delay, once a case is reported,
and soon a lassie or laddie clad in blue
appears on the scene with a supply of
food, fuel or clothing Several families
that once held high position but are now
reduced to abject poverty have been To-
Gated by the relief squad and their wants
relieved.
Maj. Barter has opened an Office in
room DO, Colorado building from which
the relief work will be directed and con-
tributions will be received and acknowI-
edged. She will also receive philan-
thropic people there who are DESTROYS of
investigating the work that Is being ac-
complished by the Salvation Army in re-
lieving the wants of the needy.
About two hundred hungry men and
women were given coffee and sandwiches
preceding the evening service at the Cos
pei Mission, Pennsylvania avenue between
18th and 18th streets, last evening. A
feature of the service that followed was
the testimonies given by reformed men.
