white and colors, you will find on lots
of dresses, used to edge collars, cuffs
and panels. Princess lines for the
smaller girls are more important than
ever. Jumper dresses are good for
school, because the costume may be
varied by change of blouses. Cinna-
mon is a new color that is found in
both cottons and woolens. Peacock
blue is new in cottons, and orchid and
purple tones are important in tweeds.
Cadet blue is favorite for military
styles.
Deep tones in general are excel
lent and Scotch plaids are strongly
stressed. It's bright, happy picture
from every angle.

TO BE little more specific we shall
tell you about, first, a little green
wool challis that took our fancy, and
was intended for about third grader.
With tiny print of orange, yellow
and brown, it had wide collar Of
plain brown challis button-holed in
green under the small green collar
that tied at the front. Short puff
sleeves and lots of pleats from a
straight shoulder yoke complete this
fresh looking design. With it was
shown a nice green felt hat with a
peaked crown.
As a good cotton choice we were
shown a bright clan plaid with red pre-
dominating and white rickrack braid
used to edge collar and cuffs. In the
new cinnamon color we found good
looking plain French gingham
trimmed with narrow white braid
stitched on in rows of four, which
proved to be very effective and had
smart tailored look. Nice for the H.
year-old.
OF course the sun can't shine every
day, so we have to prepare for those
rainy mornings with such pretty lit
tie raincoat that there will be no ex-
cuse for not wearing it. There will be
no difficulty whatever if you can
bring out such an attractive little out
fit as we found for 1895, hat and all.
The coat has large open armholes that
will go over any bulky Winter coat,
and over this is a hip-length cape to
keep the books and lunch from get
ting spattered. The sou'wester hat Is,
of course, fun to wear and eliminates
the necessity of an umbrella, which is
so likely to be lost. This coat comes
in wine and navy blue in an attrac-
tive fabric with scattered small fuzzy
dots. + X y X
A MONG the warmer clothes there
= are all sorts of attractive twin
sweater sets in one and two colors to
wear with plain or plaid skirts. New
among these are twin sets of angora
at $685. that are remarkably like those
expensive imported cashmere sets.
These come in light beige, soft rose,
dark rust and old blue, and have rib
bon binding at the, front edges. You'll
love them and want set yourself as
well as for the children. They run up
to size 16, so perhaps you will avail
yourself of this opportunity.

collar, and tied with green and blue
wool cords, and further adorned with
garland of small crocheted flowers.
Tyrolean green heart buttons fasten
the front that Is finished in button
hole stitch.
Chosen to accompany this is .
finely pleated skirt of navy blue wool.
The pleats are In some way perma-
nently pressed to stay in place. Grand
idea, isn't It? The separate skirt
problem is very nicely taken care Of
in a number Of styles of plain and
plaid woolens. The younger set likes
its skirts pleated, and the plain colors
harmonize well with variety Of col
ored sweaters. Navy blue skirt with
twin sweaters, one Of French blue
and the other of dark blue, is q clas-
sic combination that is always good,
and has Its seasonal differences In
necklines and varieties Of ribbing.
