CLOTHES FOR SCHOOL GIRL
Lingerie Should Be serviceabIe and
Gowns as Pretty as Mother
Can Afford.

Don't get lingerie SO sheer and so
lace bedecked that the first laundering
will leave it in rags. Nothing is more
serviceable for girls use than French
embroidered underwear without lace
on heavy linen.
Don't wear yourself out with your
daughters clothes. Too many are
only nuisance, as fashions change SO
fast.
Don't fail to provide for her as
pretty and becoming gowns as you can
afford Appearances count with young
sters and many nice girl is needless
ly hampered by the poor taste of her
mother.
Don't be too sure you know what is
best for your daughter to wear. The
taste of sixteen may not be so good as
your own, but it is less apt to clash
with current schoolgirl fashions. While
one Is still young individuality in
dressing is not popular.
Don't have rigid notions on under
wear and try to enforce them with
cast iron promises. Most schoolgirls
discard aannels as soon as they es-
cape maternal vigilance, and many a
girl is made harder because OF it..
Don't forget that the surest way to
keep your daughter well protected in
rain storms Is to buy her stylish
rain coat. waterproof shoes and UNI
brella.
Don't spend 80 much on your childs
outfit that you cripple yourself and
must stint her on spending money. A
reasonable allowance through the year
counts more for schoolgirls good
time than an elaborate wardrobe.
Don't get too many things at the
start Every school has it's own ideals
| of dressing and your girl will soon be
out of conceit of her pretty clothes II
they are not what all the rest Of the
girls are wearing. Better buy less and
fill out when your girl knows what she

quick to approve the proposition.
Il have recommended through the
A. A. U. officials in New York." said
Mr.. Brown. that the prominent skat-
ing associations of the United States
and Canada should either send their
last years amateur champion or that
elimination contests be held to decide
who shall be the champion skater to
represent the United States in this In
ternationnl championship.
Skating is assuming the position OF
the leading winter outdoor sport. and
in my opinion the United States
should be represented in this line of
sport as well as in many of the other
lines that we are taking part in. 1t
will prove great incentive toward
advancing the sport in the United
States and in my opinion our best
skaters are as good as the European
contenders and would have as good
chance of winning the championship.
If enough money can be raised to send
three men l would strongly urge that
our three best skaters be sent to

of white mousseline de sole. Small
Jet buttons fasten this in straight

ends of which drop pleated frills of
white-and-black mousseline de sole.
This is a modification of the Robes

White corded silk and dark blue

deep points OF SILK at the sides, held
down under crystal buttons with blue
rims. Side pieces of blue widen the
