cars, which were made IN America,
have performed valuable work.

Now is the time girls begin to gos- sip about school clothes-and indeed ! it deserves much thought. Many schools have a uniform, which is very | fortunate But if school clothes must be selected it is imperative that they be simple. For nothing shows so much lack of good taste as an over-dressed girl. A smart looking sport skirt with different blouses is always correct; and suspenders may be added if de sired.
 Then the dark one-piece dress is in dispensable for any age, and should have detachable collars and cuffs of lingerie, have several sets for each dress and put snaps on them so they may be removed easily and freshened up. Velveteen and corduroy are well liked for school clothes. They are both the most practical material and they insure warmth and at the same time save wool.
 In any school a girl must have sev- eral simple frOcks and also a demi- decollete model for the weekend part ies. Youthful is a pretty frock made of dull blue voile, with a tunic skirt and kimeno bodice. A fluted frill edges the organiie collar and black velvet ribbon makes the girdle. A dress Of blue serge with vest or white pique that peeps out at the neck and again beneath the eton jacket is very attractive and a girl would not be quite normal that did not wish to wear it after she sets her eyes upon it. Quite sophisticated is a frock of navy blue silk crepe, embroidered in gold threads. The skirt falls in a plait at each side that becomes a pocket under the narrow crepe belt. Other frocks are made of taffeta or Gorgette, while point de spirit makes party dresses that are delightfUly youthful Sunday requires a suit or dress and coat, and these costumes will carry a girl through the winter of teas and con certs and matinees. The blouse to ac- company a girls suit should be of the same color, for the one color effect is the smart thing for young or old, no matter how good looking a light col ored blouse may be it still remains a blouse.
 A girl needs whole rousseau of lingerie, and of course it must be very simple and easily laundered; for this reason nearly every thinking mother selects CT has copied the French-made underthings. Have little colored bands of colored bias strips of handkerchief linen binding all edges and a Hren ribbOn-which is nothing more or less than fold drawn through eyelets or under a shirring of the fabric. But if real ribbon is preferred. use one of the double faced satins that has diff ferent pastel shade on each side. They lcok like new after being washed and pressed.
