SCHOOLGIRLS DRESSES.
Some Seasonable Suggestions For Be-

Some Seasonable Suggestions For Be-
coming end Sensible Suits.
Dressing the schoolgirl becomingly
and sensibiy IS a problem mothers have
to face at this time of the year.
Fortunately serges Of the rough va
riety are very smart. and they adapt
themselves we'll TO the youthful tailor
made. The favorite color Is a tawny
yellow. relieved by buttons of deep
er shade.
The three piece suit is most useful
and universally becoming. Care should
be exercised. however. in selecting the
color. Broadcloth also is apt to make
the average girl look old. and a coarse
vale serge is much prettier for her
Very little braided work should be put
on a young girls coat. 1t is not youth
full enough for her and has a tendency
under hard wear TO grow shabby.
The little university dresses are quite
pretty for school wear. These come
in the long wasted models. relieved
with fold OF plaid and having the
full plaid skirt. They are especially
effective in black and white. worn
with a little toque trimmed with large
white wings.
With these separate dresses a long
coat Of cloth or velvet is a necessity.
A black or fawn colored cloth is the
best. and the former may be made
youthful by preserving its straight
lines, also trimming it with large white
pearl buttons aud white collars and
cuffs

1t is Of the highest Importance that
