FASHIONS FOR GIRLS.

Girls before leaving the schoolroom
mostly fall back on coats and skirts
and pretty blouses- Cloth and serge
are the fabrics most affected by them.
Serge is improving immensely in its
manufacture; it can be had In pretty
well all textures and in all colors. We
have never had prettier shades, and the
light ones are admirably suited to sum-
mer wear for the girls not yet out. The
hat should be of the same shade. or
trimmed with 1t, for uniformity is the
fashion. though pale gray tones may be
relieved by bright touches of color in
the hats.
Most Of the coats are semi-fitting
back and front. and certainly shorter,
three-quarter length t longest. Rus
sian blouse coats for the younger girls
have q great following: the skirts with
deep yokes are stin much worn.
Coats are lined with the same hue as
the material OF which they are made.
Wolfe is to be worn as the eason adj
vances. made with elbow and three
quarter length sleeves. Soft, wide
pleated frills are introduced at the
throat of many of these bodlces, cut
round at the neck.
