ton with other fabrics. The really new

Modes for Girls.

The patent leather belt, not more than
an inch in width and both in white and
in black, is playing conspicuous part In
the modes for girls. On linen and serge
it is worn alike. and it gives a very trim

the figure. but neither is it so loose as
in the old Buster Brown styles.
A smart little gray linen frock' has a
straight square cut overblouse that is not
sewed to the body of the dress at any

The new bouses on exhibition are ex-
ceedingly attractive. Each season the
blouse manufacturers introduce new
ideas, although after~-all the long reign
of the blouse this would seem rather
difficult achievement. This year the
model with peplum of some sort is one
of the most interesting in the entire dis
play.
The peplum blouse found much favor
among fastidious folk late in the autumn.
and is now bossoming forth in new
spring materials. 1t is shown in all de-

The peplum is always comparatively

Frequently the peplum is merely

front and in the back. but not on the
sides. In some cases a wide panel or

are best carried out in the transparent

A fiat f1chu collar of lace girdled at the
normal waist line or little above, and
SO disposed as to form a single point be-

imported frocks, and the same idea has
been developed by the blouse designers.
Handsomely embroidered fine net, how
