Dressing the girl In ner early teens
for school ought to be a simple matter,
easily disposed of-and it is with moth
ers who are gifted with good judg-
ment coupled with the courage of their
convictions. But the young person
from thirteen to seventeen or eighteen
is apt to be Self-cOnscious and self
conferred; she is not always willing to
defer to the judgment of older heads
than hers, and here is where difficult
ties confront the mothers. Schools that
require a uniform make things easy
there is no room for comparisons
where all are dressed alike, and dress
does not distract the attention of the
young people from their work.
There is another advantage in the
uniform. 1t teaches the young girls
that it is not SO much what they wear
as how they wear it, that counts; q
lesson that will be valuable in after
years when the matter of apparel bN
comes important to them. But where
no uniform is required, it falls to tlR
lot of mothers to teach their daughters
to suit clothes to occupation and oc-
casion, and to value neatness above
everything else.
Sturdy materials and fast colors are
required for school clothes. They

occupy the school hours Of the smaller
girl and play absorbs the balance OF
her waking hours. She rejOices in
middies or one-piece frocks that do not
interfere with her freedom. A dress
for her school days, shown in the pic
ture, is made of dark cOlOred wool
cloth, with a collar and inset in the
cuffs of lighter cOlored wool, or some
strong color contrast, as red with dark
blue or dark gray. 1t is made with a
straight panel at the front. The SIM
plest sort of pattern is applied with
narrow braid at the top and bottom OF
the panel. Two narrow belts of the
same material as the dress slip through
cloth slides and are fastened with
buckles at the front.

An excursion through the shops in
search of new blouses is as intriguing
as an expedition after wild flowers.
Where there is so much variety and
beauty to be found there is an equal
amount of zest in making selections.
The autumn brought variety in styles,
in materials, in methods of decorating
the new blouses and, for several rea-
sons, their place in the wardrobe is
increased in Importance One of these
reasons is the "high cost of dressing"
The suit blouse is not confined to tail
ored styles nowadays, but undertakes
to fit a suit for many occasions. In
the company Of a handsome separate
skirt, lovely blOuses are able to face
any occasion with assurance.
The overblouse and the smock style
are the important new features in the
seasons shOwings. In the over
blouse, two materials or two colors
Of one material are used to make the
blouse-as crepe georgette over chif-
fon, or net or satin. In the smock
style the blouse has peplum and
girdle, as shown in the figure at the
right of the picture above. This par
ticular model embOdies several details
of the mode in the haring sleeves, the
shape of the neck opening, the silk
cord and tassels forming the girdle.
and the management of the embroid-
cred decoration. 1t is made of georg-
cite crepe and embroidered with silk

floss. In place of silk cord and taSl
sells, short girdles of gold or silver
brocaded ribbon add their brilliance to
some of the models and gold or silver
threads are introduced into silk en-
broidery, maintaining the seasons de-
votion to rich, metallic decorations on
about everything we wear. Another
item to be noted is the inconspicuous-
ness of fastenings; they are not APP
parent and leave us guessing as to
how blouses are got into.
High-necked blouses are not as
plentiful as others, but they are good
style and favored by matrons, to whom
they prove more becoming than round
or "V"-shaped neck openings. A
georgette blouse with high neck and
long sleeves at the left of the two
models pictured, is carefully designed
to prove becoming. 1t has shoulder
yokes to which the body is gathered
back and front. and a narrow plain
vestee with groups of little buttons
set at each side of it. Silk embrOid-
cry is responsible for a touch of rich
looking decoration, to which scintil-
lating beads are often added in blous-
es for dressy wear.
