simple. at the same time that II is ex-
csedingly smart The straight skirt
is plated and the blouse Is made i'm
peasant style. IN one piece with the
sleeves. The graduated tucks over
the shoulders are novel. This blouse
is trimmed with braid applied over a
stamped pattern, but Il could be
treated as shown in the back view or
trimmed in any way TO suit the fancy.
Plaids and checks are always pretty
for school dresses and either one with
trimming of the same cut on the bias
or. with trimming of plain colored silk,
or satin, would be exceedingly attrac-
tive. White broadcloth is being much
used as trimming and bands OF that
material on colored foundation
would make a most charming effect
Both braid and embroidery are fash
