~ HE may go back to school in
brown and white. She may 60
back in navy blue and white, or
~ she may choose black and white,
which is really very youthful this
season.
1t doesn't matter which of these
three tone schemes she chooses, for
each is smart and appropriate. Only
there must be that touch of white to
contrast with the dark tone. There will
be washable white suede gloves, the es-
Sential white at the neck, achieved by
washable white blouse if she wears
suit, or by detachable white veStee or
collar and cuffs il she chooses dress
and coat combination. There may be
bit of white on the hat and her
CHECKER may consist of beads or rondels
showing black or brown or blue COM
bined with white.
1t is barely possible that this school
or college girl, whose wardrobe seems
so important to the whole family just
at present, may choose a. contrasting
tone of beige or ecru with the dark
tone of her suit, dress or coat, but pure
white Is far smarter choice. More
overland this Is very mportant-white
draws a sharper contrast with the sun
tanned tone of the face and hands.

pURE white evening dresses were
= never more in demand than at
present, for the very reason that they
were sometimes avoided a few years
ago. Because nowadays the youthful
and smart thing to do is to wear
colors that accentuate rather than
disguise the Sun-tanned tones of the
skin.
First of all there is the coat to con-
Sider and 1t may be of brown and
beige tweed or of all-beige camels hair,
to go with the wn-and-white combi-
nation. There are rough black coats
and tweed mixtures showing black with
white or gray and black for the girl
who has chosen the maybe effect for
her Autumn wardrobe. And various
shades of dark blue have not been ne
elected in the new tweed coats for Au-
tumn, which are almost invariably fln-
1shed with a narrow belt of fabric or
leather, to be drawn rather tightly
about the normal waistlihe.
1t is possible to buy the new coat
with tweed beret to match, at price
That is scarcely higher because of the
useful little headgear.

THERE are dresses with jackets that
u may appeal to you Tweed one
piece dresses. with finger-tip- length
corduroy jackets and closely drawn
belts at the normal waistline, two-piece
tweed suits to be worn with washable
blouses or pull-on sweater blouSes, vel
veteen suits made with separate skirt
and long-sleeved bolero jacket of the
velveteen, worn over q jabot blouse of
white silk or satin
The girl who doesn't go back to school
or college wearing a beret this Autumn
will be a notable exception, because
beretS are as smart and varied as they
are easy to wear. The beret, we must
remember, really belongs to the girl
who is still in school She has worn its
more youthful version as little irl,
and she has learned how to wear it,
It is the older women who must be
taught the gentle art of putting it on
to the best advantage.

TO wear the beret, or any other hat
for that matter, back on the head
so that the hair is well displayed Is no
longer fad of school girls. The fash
ion has been Endorsed by the French
milliners, and it is now as essential to
SmArtness to show the hair on brow
and over the ears as it was to hide it
few years ago.
Dresses of the Grecian type are not
hard to recognise by means Of their
long, graceful drapery. While there is
no attempt on the part of the dress
makers to make literal copies Of the
