CLASSROOM recitations lose half their
terror when young girl stands confident
IN the perfection of her frock, for it b
quite possible to guess at the dates Of thu
English kings if she is not wasting thought
on pulling down her blouse. This little
frock will come through the most difficult
days without scratch, for it is not only
smart, but it is sturdy as well. Two in
verted plaits in the skirt allow one to
hurry when necessary ("and when," asks
Miss eight to- fifteen, ''is it not neces-
sary7") The snug hip-band keeps the
blouse in place and also provides pocket
to accommodate an extra caramel for
study-hour use.
