DUSY days of shopping are
 H at h and. School trunks
 0 will be packed with all sorts of confections' for the com. ing semester's social occasions. Yet, in yielding to. the lure of finery which every girl loves,; she should not overlook the simple costumes for everyday wear.
 Today's Ia arge illustration shows a very attractive knitted frock which can be slipped on quickly when the morning gong sounds in the dormitory. Lus- trous pure silk is knitted into a fabric and the frock cut from this material. A deep yoke and a deep border at the hem of the tunic blouse e lend a charming touch of color.
 Tailored lin es are splendid for the youthful figure. A frock for general utility wear is made of blocked plaid with a row of round buttons at the front and used again up the sides of the sleeves. One wears a striped scarf to complete the costume. A small hat. of leather has 8 perforated band, tied at one side. |.
 An especially attractive travelling costume is made in two pieces, with frock and cape to match. Straight of line with motifs of embroidery placed at becoming spots, this frock is very girIish because of it's sim- plicity. A long cape dips to the skirt at the back and lies across the shoulders. The cape does not. reach around to the front, merely falling in a straight line over the sleeves.
 For day on the links an ap- propriate costume is the silk knitted sweater and skirt illus trated today. A flat-knitted stitch in self-color forms the smart horizontal bandings, which afford the only decorative note. "A silk scarf is wound about the throat and tied at one side
