Fashions of To-Day By May Manton
EVERY girl likes to own 8

EVERY girl likes to own 8 sailor dress. It is always - girl-like in effect, it is always smart and it is essen- tially practical. You can make this one as it is here or with the blouse cut off and joined to the skirt, or you can finish them both separately and make the blouse in real middy style, to be drawn on over the head or with an opening at the front, as you like. Blue serge always sug- gests itself for dresses of this sort and that is the material shown here, but white serge dresses are pretty and a little later you will find the design a good one for the cotton gabar- dine that is exceedingly beauti- full and exceedingly fashionable this season. White gabardine with blue collar and blue cuffs makes very smart frock and a serviceable one, for the gab- ardine washes perfectly, or, if you make a middy blouse, you could use two colors, as a skirt of blue and blouse of white.
 For the 16 year size will be needed, 53s yards of material 36 inches wide, AZ yards A, 334 yards 54 with 15 yard 54 inches wide for the collar and cuffs.
 The pattern No. o351 is cut in sizes for 1o and IS years. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of fifteen cents.
 DRETTY simple washable
 frocks are sure to be A needed just now and here is one made from an American gingham that is exceedingly charming both in color and in quality. The check is a little blue and white one and the trimming material is white. The dress is both pretty and a serviceable one. Here, the belt is passed through slashes and cut under the box plaits and that effect is a novel one, but if you prefer you can pass the belt over the plaits and so avoid making the slashes. For a more dainty 1rock it would be pretty to use a rose color or a blue or a pale green linen of light weight and white all-over embroidery for the trimming.
 For the 12 year size will be needed, A yards of material 3o inches wide, 3T yards A, with I yards 36 inches wide for the trimming.
 The pattern No. 9328 is cut in sizes from 8 to IA years. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper on receipt of fifteen cents,
