Paper bag baking is little quicker

and baked inside bags, will afford an
almost infinite variety OF ornamented

CHILDISH MODES ARE SIMPLE
One Very Good Idea That Continues

day, simplicity is the keynote of their
fashions also. and the new coat and
skirt costumes for schoolgirls con
tinue to be made in serge or tweed
with no trimming at all. beyond a lit
tie braiding perhaps on the coats. The
skirts are sometimes slightly Eored
and finished with several rows OF
tailor stitching at the hem. but they
are more often arranged with broad
plait in front and another at the
back. and a group of single plaits on
either side, stitched down fiatly for
some little distance below the waist.
The coats for schoolgirls costumes
are of the simplest possible kind
double-breasted, and fastened with
dark pearl or bone buttons. With
these coats and skirts blouses in fine
French flannel are generally worn.
with something bright in the way OF
knitted silk cravat and a patent
leather belt to match.
Those who prefer the full length
coats have plenty OF variety from
which to choose in navy serge and in

heather mixtures. Then, again, there
are those fashionable blanket cloths.

After due deliberation the traveller
