FROCKS OF SERGE

Dresses of Mohair or Poplin
Are Good Looking.

For everyday school dresses simple
frOcEs Of serge, mohaIr OF pOplin are
sensible and good looking and may be
worn with a long, separate coat or oc-
CasiOnally a coat sweater when the
weather is sufficiently warm.
There Is always q tendency for young
girls TO prefer the separate shirt waist

it which makes a strong appeal, and Is
really most useful made OF washable
flannel, silk cotton, OF linen textures.

material on hand II may be pretty but
II IS not economical, as different mate

then, too, the combining Ct materials Of

II i almost Sup6Tlu0uS 70 say that
school clothes, especially, should be in
quiet style and devoid Of applied sarni-
ture-
A simple design IN braid or hand en-
broideTy is always in good taste and
sufficient trimming on a young girls
dress, and there is nothing prettier than
the use Of a different material as a
trimming
For instance, on q blue cashmere OF
serge dress you could use two-inch wide
bands OF plaid cashmere or silk. or
dotted, striped or Persian silk would
be equally effective and inexpensive.
