Show Fashions for the School Girl New York, September 7th. Vacation's over! The Pattys and Julias and Sallys are coming from everywhere mountains, shore and far- $, away homes, with pretty frocks and bright, alert brains ready to absorb all the learning possible between now and next summer. The time has come for Latin, Greek, geometry and incidentally inci-dentally fudge parties, candy pulls and midnight lunches, not included In the regular curriculum, therefore far more fascinating, and, of course, basketball bas-ketball and the various other gymnasium gymna-sium stunts to help out the physical and mental machinery. Our Btreets are gay with them in the early morning; these bright faced "V" happy schoolgirls. They stride by in smart, straight-heeled shoes, Norfolk suits of tweed or gerge, set off by chic velvet tams, hats of velour or a softly colored felt. As the days are still bright and warm, one often sees a trim serge frock with bretelles, v" . " -P9 """ "' " mm' lV l j- twwoy SmbBu Wfkk - A Mr ML M& 4H.

Our exclusive ex-clusive schools frown upon an elaboi-ate elaboi-ate wardrobe no matter how prosperous prosper-ous papa may be; many of them give out a list of clothing required, with one thing uppermost simplicity. This does not necessarily mean that the j clothing must be ugly. The smart little suits and dresses of serge, tweed, or the attractive checks, and novelty fabrics with contrasting collars and cuffs, are smart and becoming to a de- J gree. One particularly smart little dress, worn the other morning, was or i dark blue gabardine, that practical sister sis-ter of serge, which wears so 'well and sheds dust and dirt so effectively. It had bretelles and a wide stitched belt of the material of the skirt and was worn with an underblouse of herringbone herring-bone striped crepe de chine, cuffed with the material of the skirt and collared col-lared with sheer, crisp organdy. The wearer, who was a smart Npw York day-chool girl, carried her bundle of books nonchalantly over one shoulder, and wore her velvet tarn on the back of her bright hair so carelessly that more than I turned for a second look. On matinee days and Sundays the suit is a trifle more dressy, of French serge, gabardine, broadcloth, or one of the new satin finished materials, and is trimmed with a line or two of braid or a band of fur. An attractive hat of velvet, or satin and velvet with the soft, drooping brim, now modish, and Just a suggestion of trimming, is most becoming to young girls. The soft, graceful tilt to the brim this season sea-son is particularly pretty and youthful. youth-ful. An attractive little miss from the southland, whose eyes are as dark as the oft quoted Spanish maiden's, wore a suit of midnight blue velours de laine with high military collar of black silk braid, inset, between the rows of braid, with scarlet and gold; the scarlet and gold was repeated in the carved buttons which closed the coat, Russian fashion, on the left shoulder, in the braided girdle, and again heading the hem of the short, full skirt. With this suit, which was worn one afternoon at a concert, she wore a very simple blouse of baby-f Comfortable Gym Suit. mmmmmaaasmmmmmm flesh pink Georgette crepe. The costume cos-tume was simplicity Itself, but chic, well thought out simplicity. A warm top coat of one of the soft, light-weight coatings brought out this fall, will not come amiss in any schoolgirl's school-girl's wardrobe; it Is the handiest thing in the world to slip on over the one-piece frock of sorgo, or over the suit for a cross-country walk or a motor mo-tor trip.

No school outfit is complete without a suit of bloomers of serge or light-weight flannel for basket-ball, bar vaulting, and all the other gymnastics gym-nastics demanded of the healthy, athletic ath-letic school girl of today. To wear with these sweaters and top coats there are round hats In woolen mixtures, with a shot quill or stick-up by way ol trimming, which defy snow, rain and all kinds of weather wea-ther most satisfying. It stands to reason that if the suit skirt is worn in the classroom, it will soon become shiny and shabby while the coat remains perfectly good; here is where the om?-piece dress of serge or gabardine is most practical aside from its convenience and becoming-ness. becoming-ness. There is nothing more suitable or comfortable than one of these simple sim-ple frocks in some dark shade, with one of the new sashes or belts in a contrasting fabric, and collar and cuffs, or perhaps a guimpe or chemisette chemi-sette of organdy, voile or crepe de chine.
