virile quality that young hair possesses

but be very careful that all the soap
is rinsed out of your tresses after

ide in the rinsing water, once month

may be injured.
Pins and combs are again extremely
fashionable in the hair Big. fancy
pins with pearls and rhinestones i'm
bedded in the shell, are used with the

dozen matching pins being seen in
one couture. Fancy combs are MAX
ing their appearance with low hair
dressings. ana these combs have also
rhinestone and pearl settings. When
the big pins are used the hair is dress
ed gracefully and with apparent loose
ness, the pins appearing to hold the
coils or strands in place; but, of
course, the structure is really anchored
invisibIy by means of wire hair
pins, the dainty shell pins being thrust
in afterward merely as ornaments.
The ribbon fillet banded around
the head "bandage" fashion holds it's
own in surprisingly persistent manner.
Perhaps the secret of it is that these
wide bands around the head have a
simple yet classic distinction, and all
styles that are truly beautiful hold
their own after merely freak effects
have been forgotten. The bead trim
med band illustrated is a modifica-
ton of this classic f1llet, designed for
opera wear. The band is made of
silver net on which small pearl beads
are sewed in lattice effect. At one
side of the head is a small rosette of
the net trimmed with gold and sill
yer roses and a tassel of gold tissue
ornaments falls from the rosette while
an aigrette of shimmering silvery
strands rises above it.

having perfectly straight skirt with
six scalloped net ruff1es reaching 30
the knee, and wide net fichu, cover
ing the arms to the elbow and cross
ing in a modest V decolletage at front
and back. This fichu is made of a
strip of enorm ously wide net, shirred
up to the proper width by groups of
pintucks; the groups being nine or
ten inches apart. Or rather, there
are two strips of the shirred net which
cross each other in surplice fashion
at front and back, and one strip is
much longer than the other, so that
it continues down the back of the
skirt below the waistline, in a broad
sash, edged all around, like the fichu,
with narrow net pleating. At the
front, the ends cross under a big
pink rose. Exquisitely girlish is the
dainty dancing gown pictured. This
little gown is built of pale blue chif-

fon with a printed border in pink
and green tones. The arrangement
of the bordered material in yoke and
bodice drapery is very graceful; and
a narrow crystal bead fringe weights
the soft chiffon and makes the frock
still more graceful. This simple chif-
fon frock is made over a slip of palest
blue satin and the hair is banded
with soft, pale pink satin ribbon
matching the border tints.
The Girls Outing Toys.
The girl will spend nine-tenths of
her summer out of doors and her
outing raiment will be not the least
attractive part of her summer ward
robe. First and foremost. she should
have a smartly shaped sweater, and
if this can be one of the striped blazer
sweaters in college colors, she will
be a lucky and a particularly chic
young person. Besides the sweater,
she will need a good, warm utility
coat down to her heels, for travelling,
for motoring, for wear on the water
and for general use over her outing
costumes. This coat may be a polo
model with a broad belt; a mannish
ulster model with raglan shoulders
and big pockets; a new worsted mix
ture or reversible cloth model with
exaggerated reVerS and turned back
cuffs in contrasting color. or one of
the college coats of dark worsted
with lining and turned back cuffs
and revers of blazer-striped flannel in
varsity colors.
Several linen or duck skirts, or
skirts of neutral toned worsted, or of
khaki, with tailored shirtwaists, will
fit the girl out for ordinary fun in the
country; and the shirtwaistS may be
made of washable silk, of striped
madras, of dimity or striped or check
ed lawn, according to fancy-and the
limit of possible expenditure. For
tennis and canoeing there may be
MILDLY blouses of white duck, or
dainty simple models like the blouse
pictured. This neat blouse is made of
fine white wolfe, many tucks giving
graceful fullness, and also preventing
a too transparent effect-not in good
taste in outing blouse. The col
lar, neckbow and cuffs are of blue
batiste. This tennis blouse is worn
with very smart outing skirt of
white flannel, narrow in line but hav
ing inverted pleats, fatty pressed.

crate in suggestion to be truly a
jeune file combination for daylight
wear. Nothing, however, is lovelier
than net for the young girls dancing
frock-unless it be chiffon; but, of
course, net is the less expensive ma
terial, when cost must be considered.
Every girl should have at least one
dainty dancing costume in her sum-
mer outfit. If she is invited to
country house to visit there will sure
ly be some sort of informal or formal
affair during her stay; and If she
spends part of the summer at hotel,
or even at a clearinghouse in the
country or by the sea, occasional
Saturday night hops will call for
something trif1e more ceremonieus
than the ever-so- pretty tub frock
which does general duty afternoons
and evenings. Very dainty for a girl
of sixteen is a peachblow taffeta frock

which give a roomy width for active

A Simple but Picturesque Summer
Hat for the Girl.

her older sister or her maiden aunt
would not dare to don, for over
youthful, pretty face, millinery styles
that are in themselves freakish and
outrageous, become charmingly pic
turesque and individual. Simplicity.
however. is always most charming on
a girl-whether it be expressed in
hat, frock or hairdressing. and all the
hats pictured are of the simple, grace
full type most suitable for the girl
under eighteen. The hat accompany
ing the embroidery trimmed lingerie
frock is of light blue straw braid.
which matches in color the blue taffeta
sash with its corded knot in front
The blue straw hat is banded with
white lace and a big bow of blue
velvet is poised at one side. The
roll-brim sailor. shown with the tailor
ed suit. is of navy blue straw trimmed
with blue and white straw braid and
white taffeta ribbon. Especially girl
ish and dainty is the bonnet OF cream
straw braid which has brim OF pleat-
ed white taffeta edged with the straw:
and a. trimming band and bow OF
straw against which are set three
small white satin roses backed by
green leaves.
When the Hair is "Put Up"
The young girl is not entitled to
grown-up couture until she assumes
the conventional dress of womanhood
that is. when she leaves the school
room and makes her debut in the
social world. Before that. If she is a
tall, well grown maid, her hair may
be put up girlishly, in three coils
back of her ears, the front being
parted or waved softly back SO that
the contour of the head is revealed;
but the chignon, the psyche and other
elaborate coiffures are not for the
girl; and of course any suggestion
of artificial couture aids or false tres
ses is in the worst of taste for the
young girl not yet out" With the
outing costume, the hair is tied Sc
curely with a broad ribbon; and with
the evening frock the broad ribbon
fllet across the brow is girlish and
becoming.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1912-04-13

be dainty and youthful. but which
can hardly be considered smart.
Frambois, or raspberry color, melon
pink, shrimp pink. peachb1ow, Nat
tier blue, gendarme blue, coral, tur-
quoise, jade and reseda green and
golden tan are all favored for sash
bows with white or cream lingerie
frocks, and If there De little shirred
taffeta bonnet to match, the costume
will be adorably girlish and chic.
Net Froclxs for Afternoon and
Evening.
There are pretty afternoon frocks
of net trimmed with lace for young
girls wear, but usually the net frock
is reserved for dancing or evening
use, the afternoon tub costume being
of pintucked batiste and lace, of wolfe,
or of the popular fine embroidery.
Lace trimmed net is a bit too elab-
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1912-04-13

are straight and loose, anything like
a form-fitting effect being avoided.
Rows of braiding, facings of silk and
many buttons usually break the plain
lines, for severe tailored effects are
not for young girlhood. The suit pic
tured, with its oblique lines of trim
ming, is especially youthful and
jaunty. This suit is built of very light
worsted mixture and is typically girl
ish and modish at the same time.
A Tafeta Frock for the Girl by All
Means.
This season taffeta is supremeIy
fashionable and the growing maid,
like her mamma, will long for a
pretty, crisp taffeta frock for after
noon and special wear. The quaint
trimmings and old-fashioned styles
favored for these taffeta costumes
make them seem especially we'll suit
ed to slender, youthful figures. The
prim little blue taffeta frock pictured,
with it's narrow, straight skirt, demure
little bodice and pulled trimming, is
adorable on it's youthful wearer; and
these little taffeta frocks are develop
ed also in the lovely lowered, or
pompadour, taffetas which have old
fashioned blue and pink posies in stiff
little clusters woven on white grounds,
the weave of the silk producing a
lovely, blurred effect so that the colors
are exceedingly soft and dainty in
tone. If the lines of the little frock
are kept sufficiently prim and straight,
any desired trimming may be used.
The taffeta may be cut in scallops,
finished with piping in self or con-
trasting color. Rows of scant mar
row ruff1es may be used, one above
the other; or the old-fashioned bouil-
lone made by shirring the taffeta
over cords, may be the choice. A
lace or lingerie collar. matched by
cuffs will add just the right finish
to such a frock for miss of from
twelve to sixteen years.
AIIover Embroidery and Embroidery
FIounces Favored.
Embroidery frocks are especially
charming on young girls; and such
frocks have the added advantage of
lending themselves gracefully to the
tubbings which will keep them as
fresh and dainty as girlhood's white
costumes should be. Flounced skirts
are very fashionable again; and many
of the lingerie frocks for girls have
skirts with three embroidery f1ounces,
reaching to the sash-1ine. One says
sash-line, because every afternoon cos
tune of the young girls is sure to
have its girlish, graceful sash. Some
times the bow of the sash is fiat,
cravat shaped affair; sometimes 1t is
a soft rosette- Again there is no bow,
one end of the soft, wide ribbon, be-
ing simply Iooped over the other at
the knot. Yet again, there may be
a stiff, up-and-down bow. with a loop
reaching upward and two loops fall
ing straight down over the end which
reaches to the hips. If the figure
is slender. the sash may be tied loose
ly at one side.
The color of the sash is an i'm
portant point. Few sashes worn with
white lingerie frocks are in the sim
pie pink or blue colors which may

dashing cutaway coatlines and narrow
shirts are affected now by all ages and
no one can tell from the back view
how old woman may be. 1t is in
the difficult "betwixt and between
age-in the traditional awkward"
age from twelve to sweet sixteen, that
the growing girl is a problem to her
often distracted mamma. She may be
too tall for her years, yet too I'M
developed and immature for young
1adified raiment. She may, on the
other hand. be too well developed for
her height and require specially plan
ned and fitted garments that shall

Youthfulness of face. She may stand
wrongly; her coloring may need to
be carefully studied and enhanced by
other shades than the eternal baby
blues and pinks offered by the shops
which make a business of providing
for the needs OF youth; or-and this
is the most harassing problem of all,
to the distracted mamma-she may
be a jeune file having decided ideas
of her own in the way of dress which
do not coincide with the maternal no
ton of what is suitable for her years
and type.
Always Safety in the Choice of White.
The bridge player is urged to play
trumps when in doubt and by the
same token may the puzzled mother
settle most vexed questions of color
in her young daughters wardrobe, by
safely deciding on white. White is
youths own privilege, and never does
the young girl look more charming
than when in spotless white from top
to toe-a spotlessness which would be
trying to the older woman unless re-
Heved by a colored hat or parasol,
or even q saving bit of a black bow
at the throat. There are delightful
outing and beach suits of white whip
cord and serge for young girls wear
and these suits have many of the hall
marks that distinguish tailored wear
for older women this season; and very
much the same proportions; except
that there may be an exaggeration of
cut-a jauntiness and dash, in the suit
worn by a slender, straightforward
young girl. which would be impossible
on more fully developed figure.
OF course the girls tailored skirt is
shorter, also, than her older sisters
or her mammals, and almost the en-
tire top of her buttoned boot is reveal
ed Street boots now have rather high
tops, so that with even the shortest
street skirts the stocking may not be
seen in walking; and with the tailored
suit of white serge or whipcord the
girl wears white buckskin boots with
weIted soles and moderate heels and
toes not as pointed as those favored by
her mamma

fashion standpoint. The thing
~ I'D now is to have a small, aris-
tocratic head; and hair that is not
too heavy and thick can be made to
express this effect of daintiness bet
ter than luxuriant tresses which, If
coiled out of the way in compact
manner, give an effect of hardness.
In Paris the short-haired beauty is
appearing, but the French woman will
do anything with her hair, changing
its length and its color recklessly to
suit the mode; and this new fashion
of curling the short, natural hair all
over the head will give Partisan heads
a blessed rest and relief from the
curls, rats, braids and wigs which
have been needed to produce chic
coiffures. 1t is not probable that
American women will take kindly to
the idea of cutting the hair close to
the head, and only those who have
lost hair because of illness or other
reasons will be likely to appear with
little heads summing over with curls.'
The close, small couture is however
undoubtedly the style, and the more
clearly the contour of the head is
defined by the couture, the more aris-
tocratic is the effect deemed. If the
natural hair is of the fine, silky quality
that clings against the head and re-
