A T THE midseaSon we look at
" two kinds of frocks, the ones
~ Of the immediate season,
where we will find worth
while price reductions on many of the
more expensive models to interest us,
and the frocks of the approaching
season in dark sheers suitable for
travel and full of new style points.
Among the latter you are apt TO
find newcomers in the junior miss
frocks, like the two sketched, for
youth is always in hurry and can
not even wait for its new styles.
In the new frocks you will be find
ing braid trimming, off-shoulder yokes,
basque-fitted bodices, jewel trimming,
long sleeves, softly draped at top with
mousquetaire knuckle-length fitted
lower section: front fullness in skirts
and bias flares beginning at the hips
instead of the knees.

IN THE two models sketched you
will find new details. The brown
dress at the right of sheer material
has interesting open-work bands
across the sleeves of the overblouse
and crisp white tucked organdy ex-
tending beyond the line of the neck
and front closing, and also used for
cuffs. These easily laundered details
are always attractive on dark frock.
The other frock shows you the new
plastron front set over the collar and
unusual rectangular buttons covered
with the material and crossed with
white braid. Five box pleats give an
extra amount of front fullness to the
skirt of this navy blue sheer and mark
its newness.
We hear that black is going to be
good again this Fall, after quite an
absence from the fashion picture. 1t
is shown in a very dramatic model
of crepe, combined with white, in a
short jacket frock. The upper half
of the blouse and jacket, including
the sleeves, is white crepe, and the
black joins it in a pointed, saw-tooth
outline. The skirt is knife pleated
all the way around and caught down
to more than hip length with rows
of horizontal stitching. The blouse
has a high, straight-across neckline.
A MOTHER very smart black frock
of crepe has a jacket on tailored
lines, wen nodded to the figure. with
collar and lapels of black satin, and
little round pockets following the
curve of the front. The skirt has a
seam down the front which gives
fullness without pleats. A black satin
dress printed in white scroll pattern
features the off-shoulder yoke with
shirring below. and with the excep-
ton of one large round pearl and
metal ornament at the left side Is
quite plain.
Still more black in heavier crepe
shows the v neck, a little more open
than we have been wearing it, and
with an extremely deep collar OF white
crepe corded in rows from the neck
line. A graduated plastron. narrow at
the neck and much wider at the waist.
gives an interesting line, and very
large white metal clip and belt buckle
complete this new design.
A navy blue at the very attractive
price of $8.95 uses lilac and fuchsia
sheer to tighten it up and give it dash.
1t starts out with little shirt waist
collar and bow of the blue sheer, but
the sleeves keep it from being shirt
waist frock, as the graceful bracelet
length puffs are made of the three
colors lengthwise, which drape to show
the colors most pleasingly. A lilac and
fuchsia flower is fastened at the front
of the belt instead of the usual buckle.
A DRESS that has the bias hared
= skirt starting from the hips is
among the Junior models in black
heavy sheer with q row of large white
