The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-05-28

After the quarter century milestone one must regretfully let the Peter Thompson go, for while adding youth fulness to youth, it accentuates age. The campus and classroom frock pie tured is a typical Peter Thompson model, made of hard twisted navy blue serge, with baggy sailor blouse opening at the neck below wide sailor collar. There is no front closing: the blouse slips on over the head and a "shield' of the serge buttons across the deep | V of the neck opening There are special touches of smartness that dis tinguish the true Peter Thompson middy. One of these is the overlap ping yoke section of the blouse which, with its curved outline and machine stitching, makes a graceful trimming on the blouse front. Another feature is the chevron ornament on the sleeve; and the sleeve, you will note, is smoothly pleated into the cuff, giving an especially neat effect. This years middy dresses have the graceful pleated skirt, attached to a smoothly | fitting hip-yoke, and of course this yoke laces up the back in imitation of the sailornfan's breeches-an unfail- ing feature of the smart middy cos tune for pretty maids.
 For the Athletic Field.
 The college girl secretly hopes that she will cut a dash when she appears for the first time in her brand new sports outfit. With the exception, per- haps, of the wonderful new dancing frock folded away in tissue wrappings and awaiting the night of the Prom. the sports outfit is most dearly cher ished of all the new clothes. A com fortable new sports waist for tennis, golf and canoeing is pictured; and also new silk sports coat with hat to match. The pictures give no idea, really, of these garments for color is the prime interest in both cases and the black and white newspaper print of course shows none of this charm of hue. For instance, the sports waist is of biscuit-colored crash with collar. belt, cuffs and -pipings of rich yellow linen. The model comes also with green linen trimming. This blouse slips on over the head and is. as you see, slashed almost to the waistline from the yellow collar, the edges of the slash having yellow pip ings. Pearl buttons linked With cord hold the slash together. This attract i've waist may be worn with a sport skirt of tan crash or, as in the picture. with skirt of tan and brown striped panama cloth. The silk sweater--or as one should say. nowadays. "coun- try-coat'-is green with white trim : mings. The skirt is of white and green striped tussah, the stripes arranged obliquely in alternate gores. The hat is of cream milan with coarse em- broidery in green yarn and a cockade of pleated white ribbon.
 One or two tub frocks in simple sport lines will not come amiss, for there will be warm days in June when something cooler than the serge Peter Thompson will be agreeable-and the faculty does not look kindly upon too informal athletic raiment in the class room. This is year of separate skirts and blouses but the blouse and sepa- rate skirt effect can easily be achieved in one-piece costume. and this is altogether the best for a college girl who is apt 10 be careless about ad- justing blouse belt t-and-skirt. as the trio should be adjusted to look just right A sports-dress of the sort sug- gested. is of white linen with loose. long-sleeved waist. gathered to deep
