wooien skirts in a selection of ex-
cellent colors and soft cashmere
sweaters dyed to exactly match, in
both slip-over and cardigan styles
These make the grandest outfits
imaginable. There are two skirt
| models, one an eight-gored affair, and
the other one with three kick pleats
in front and a panel gored back. Soft
slate blue, gold, Spanish tile, brown
and black are the colors offered
For the older girl the classic Shirt
maker type of dress is always good
In fact this kind of dress is liked
equally well by practically all ages.
In sizes from IL to 20, it is as good
for mother as daughter, and the busi-
ness girl adores it as much as her
sister in college. This sort of dress is
good until it wears out and never goes
out of style. 1t varies slightly from
season to season in the placing of the
pockets, the kind of buttons used and
the width of belt, but a new scarf or
some other personal touch always
'peps it up" and gives it a new lease
on life.
From this standpoint it is a good
investment to buy such dress of
the best material and workmanship.
these come in pure silk with dull
finish and in the loveliest Autumn
colorS. Furthermore they are wash
able, and that means a great deal to
the young person who likes always to
be meat as pin"
Thin wooden shirtmaker dresses
are very popular and the newest addi-
tion to this family is the smartly
tailored frock of wool gabardine. 1t
comes in a marvellous blue, rather like
piece of Wedgewood pottery, and
uses one of those new harness belts
IN light, natural color, and buttons
OF the same material These gabar-
dimes come in three styles, with long
or short sleeves and in one and two
piece models. Blue, black, natural
and green are the colors.
SHOWN in the photographs above
are two new looking dresses of this
sports or tailored type, both with new
features. The one at the left has a
high, square neck into which NAV be
tucked a scarf, and the f1aring skirt
has two front pleats that are left un-
pressed. This dress comes in gold
with q brown suede belt and also in
soft cinnamon shade, and Is q good
schoolgirl and college dress.
The other woolen frock is good in
beige or black with belt Of brown al
ligator. The pressed pleats and open
neck provide lots of leeway for action.
The cuffs button like those of mans
shirt and there is ample fullness at
the shoulder.
Both of these dresses have Upper
fastened pockets, insuring a smooth
hipline, with no chance of snaps COM
ing on at critical moment and leav-
ing an unsightly opening. This feature
Is particularly appreciated in dresses
for school and active sport, although
q ripper fastened placket is an ad-
vantage on any dress.
NhSudI OpCOAJS feature SlrAlgnter
lines than last year, although there
is some fullness noted at the back.
Many Of the junior coats are cut on
princess lines, even those of tweed.
The colors include several greens along
with the greyS and beiges, with an oc-
casional smart looking very dark wine
red in one Of the new nubby fabrics.
Youthful party dresses use taffeta
and moires TO great extent, and de-
pend on putting, self ruffling and
bands of narrow velvet ribbon for
trimming. We found a lovely dancing
frock made of crosswise rows of lace
about five inches in width, in tur-
quoise blue over a slip of the same
color. Cerise velvet ribbon around the
waist gave note of contrast color.
Youthful black velvet frocks in
street length are processed to resist
wrinkles and spots, making 1t easy
10 keep them in condition. Narrow
white lace edging is used for trim
ming on many Of them, adding q
distinctly Junior touch
