an extension for modish drapery on
the left side. caught with an orna-

frock is extremely low cut from the
chin down, the wide or narrow V

out the color riot with embroidered
flowers. tiny colored silk etchings, or
even beads Sparkling rhinestones

For afternoon frocks the sash re-

of which they are composed ought
to be Of good and rich quantity.

the schoolgirl, and much variety may
be introduced as trimming The style
OF cutting coats and skirts is even
more simple than usual, and without
eXaggerating tightness a neat skirt
ought not to have more than a very
slight fullness. Coats are mostly cut
with wide turned-out revers. the

The new blouse for girls is very
simple. and Is made of silk or figured
wooden stuffs or of fine cotton striped
II fits almost up to the neck, and is
rolled slightly away and fastened with
large fancy buttons. This, of course
applies to the schools which do not
