right charm, and to carry, some
where in the design, message that
identifies her with the position she
holds in the social scheme Of the
world.
The two-piece model, illustrated in
line-check, has, as the focal point Of
interest, the buttoned front-closing.
the very new peplum treatment, and
collar and cuffs that follow the Eng
lish fashion of plated edgings. This
dress carries news Of a refreshing di-
versity of dress designs that have en-
tered the wardrobe of the college girl.
The introduction of the bias-vestee
section brings interest. without effort,
to the front of the dress. The sleeves
assure a reasonable amount Of elbow
room through the amplitude of their
lower cut The skirt is made N four
cores, fiared at the bottom-with no
plaits to keep in press.
As to colorS-blues are again con-
spicuous. bright ones of the royal
family type. Brown is considered very
good; it combines well with rose
henna-a shade that refuses TO be
suppressed this Fall. Red is highly
regarded among the warm colors.

PATTERN FOR CLASS ROOM
FROCK OF CHECKED WOOL
Concise checks and bold wooden plaids
win be the theme song of class room
for Fall. Rich shades and animated
patterns are advancing toward us,
hand in hand, to help NOV down the
annual feeling of drahness that ac-
companies the back-to-school situa-
ton. The new class room clothes are
the most fascinating ones ever seen.
They manage, at one and the same
time, TO clothe the weayer with Style
