Show Simple Styles for Girls , in Their Teens New York, Jan. 13. The Jeune fJlle is playing her part as well these days s her oldest sister. She, too, has her charities and war economies, and she too, has a most difficult question to decide for herself. This question confronts her on every aide for or against new clothes and other things that she would not hesitate hes-itate to buy In normal times. Really It is most pussllng; on the one hand, she hears arguments that convince her new unpatriotic she is to evoa think of new tracks and furbelows when tho times are 'so dark and so Barrens. .Indeed, now frocks 'are . disgrace;' sho must wear-the oldest things she has, and the frumpler iho ii the better I On the other hand, sho hears sad talcs of unfor- .annK tSs tla fBBnsBHsnsssnnjj ElwssBnTSHPzM a v Tsh Saller.DTCes.Ofrttne Sorgo tunatec thrown out of work, and starving, booanso thoro Is such a sadden stop put to all buying, extravagant ex-travagant or otherwise. So, she decides de-cides to do her bit, and buy new things, in moderation. Who can tell haw right or wrong sho is? For Mies Owt-Of. Deere For tho gty who te athleUc, whoso strenuous life includes walks ont ot doors, skating and perhaps gymnasium, tho simple dross, devoid ot trimming is, best. Tho always favored sailor salt is tho best model to shssss. change K aa you will. The one Illustrated hero te true to typo; thoro te tho wide sailor collar, tho braid on sleeve and collar, but the details may bo as different aa you please. The yoke on tho waist and Ue skirt may bo omitted. This dress saves material, for tho skirt Is gored instead ot being pleated. Whe 'Tramming Tohos Leavo The girl la her early teens to hard ea.her otethos, and nsaalry dislikes to thtak of thorn at all. Later ea. of e course, she more than makes up for lost time! The other day I saw a charming little- model, dark green crepe de Chine, unrelieved by any trimming. The collar was a shallow shal-low square, giving the straight across effect without being so In rsallty for the neck outline was rounded slightly. slight-ly. At the waistline tiny tucks, an eighth ot aa inch wide, perhaps ran up and down, four inches, apart and four inches high, giving the necessary neces-sary fulness to bqth the waist and tho skirt where the tucks ended. Then other tucks, ran around the Waist, arid the result was a plaid belt of tucks! Tho three quarter sleeves were finished off in the sane way, and nt the lower edge the skirt was drawn la like wise, not enough tor one to hobble, but enough to give the fashionable narrow er-effect er-effect to the skirt. It was carefully explained to me that this was a French model, though so essentially appropriate for the American maid. FaobJoa'a Sash mad Girdle The" shops are full of thorn, these aids to modish silhouettes. Perhaps It la tk iaflnABM f k Raat. whor wondrous widths of silk 'are draped around the waists ot the men and women. Anyway, they are here, in all their loveliness. Roman striped silk ribbon, with 'frfnge six Inches long, adds a distinctive touch to the somber hnod dress ot crepe de Chine or Georgette crepe. One Interesting girdle was ot suede cloth, five laches lach-es wide, stiffened to hold Its shape; passing around the waist, .It crossed la tho front, and slipped through wide slashes ea either side, where huge buttons nnd long silken tassels gave the finishing touches. -.'TO in I ) msdJg ras WHa Sometimes tacoe Bevel aeseaseries are la esntraijhag ooloro to tho dross. sinmmmis they roaeait tho free ot- i. - orlng, and sometimes there is a per- ,fect riot of colors, so interesting and unusual that any other trimming on the dress would be vulgar. Often there Is a bit of embroidery, maybe an applique design ot felt flowers or' fruits; again the new fad for using raffia Instead of silk or wool for embroidery Is developed into some 'new and unusual trimming. I saw a set hat, bag, scarf and belt of soft velour, embroidered In a bold blue,. and green design astonishingly simple' and effective. Tho Middy Press There is no costume so dear to the heart of girlhood as tho middy dress. It seems tho symbol ot joyful joy-ful youth; Its looso lines and turned back sleeves spell comfort. The ona Illustrated here has pockets, also, to enhance Its value. The true middy collar is made of the same material aa the rest of the dress, though It .can also be ot flannel of linen of a contrasting shade. |
