FrockS at Exhibit
Designed by Girls
Are UnflapperHke
Modesty Rules Their Ideas Of
Propriety as Interpreted
by Modistes.

Girls ideas of the proper dress for
themselves have been interpreted by
leading dressmakers and placed on view
in the Art Center 65 and 81 East Fifty
sixth street. Yesterday was private
showing of this first collection of sarto-
rial self expression OF the flapper age.
which will be open to the public for at
least month.
Parents. teachers, artists, reporters,
and other interested spectators viewed
the rows of frocks for school, afternoon,
sport and evening wear. Later the girls
themselves will see how the creations
Of their artistic brain convolutions have
been translated.
Two casualties were recorded. one
was the enforced exit of an evening
dress because Of its sleeveless condition,
and the other the disappearance Of a
yellowish green and geld and white lace
frock that the committee decided was
too dreadful"
The committee allowed youthful fancy
to run free and they were pleasantly
surprised to find the flapper taste is
conservative. Skirts were none too
short. necks modest, and sleeves of
proper length and no riotous trimmings
The model that can be copied cheapest,
for about 90 cents. according to Mrs.
Miller. Is a blue linen with red and
white calico trimming. The committee
VIII give demonstrations during the ex-
hibition to show how the models can be
made up in other materials. Standard
patterns also will be supplied.
More than 500 designs were submitted
by girls in art classes Of twenty five
private and public schools From these
designs about forty-five were selected by
the committee They are divided into
two groups, frocks for girls from 10 to
IA years of age and from IA to IS years
of age.
Women decorators have installed a
model of young girls bedroom on the
top floor. Department stores are OBJ
serving school girls week by showing in
their windows some of the designs ac-
cepted by the committee. A favorite
model is from design by Jack Conover,
of the Evening School Industrial Art
