Play days are almost over, and
mothers chief concern now is a
school wardrobe for little daughter.
To help her decide on hats, frocks
and coats, made this sketch of a
smart little school girl outfit designed
by Nine. Becker of the Fashion Art
League Of America.
The coat is baby lamb cloth made
with triple cape, f1aring skirt and
snug collar of black velvet. The
round sailor is black velvet, bound
around the brim with scarlet. The
topknot of ribbon is the color Of a
scarlet poppy.

Blue and white silk is used to
make the frock, but plaid serge or
shepherd plaid suiting would be quite
as effective.
The prim little waist is strapped
with green leather and trimmed with
brass buttons. Four flounces is all
there is to the, skirt. The hat is
