The Rehool pirl, liowever, dons her street suit as early as seven or half-past .seven in the mornlne; and wear either this or a pretty morning gown under her fur coat or rough ulter, except Sundays or holidays. Small wonder, then, that ber wardrobe requires re-quires refurbishing and generally replenishing replen-ishing in the middle of the winter quite ns much a docs a debutante's ballroom trousseau. Simple gowns of the one laaterial throughout, made somewhat on the which can !e so satisfactorily laundered. The simple gouns of the light) st weight serge -r cashmere are iinqui'stionably most attractive for the schoolroom, but the white wash waists which are still generally worn soil and muss too readily to be s.iiart. Silk is, of course, not very appropriate, bul, after all, the dark colored col-ored crcM? tie Chine wears extremely well and with simple white collar and cuffs of embroidered linen makes an extremely pretty bodice for every day. A great majority of the newest waist, hocer, ni of foulanl, the background of the sutne color as the skirt with which the waist is worn and the white figure i lightening the elicit of the whole costume. These foulard waists were tirst worn last spring, but their popularity did Dot com-1 mence xuliicienlly early for their vogue to le in any way hampered. Certainly foulard fou-lard is a delightful weight for a separate bdice, arid as jt is a material which wears excellently aud can be cleaned and even washed frequently it is not extravagant cwn for a Fvhool waist. i 1 , : i Id J pi i; '!

This same uiodil is seen I K quite young girls suspender and also to a large extent among afternoon si nip dresses are still worn, but the waists of chiffon cloth and net, the de-little de-little gowns throughout, with a small sign in its extreme simplicity being excep-yoke excep-yoke nnd collar of white to keep the dark lioually good for a young girl s waist. order of the shirt waist dress, are dis- tinctly more fashionable nowadays than any shirt waist and skirt combination, even though the waist be of identical color with the rest of the costume. As heavy serges und cheviots nre so much in vogue this w inter, however, esp" ially for everyday every-day wear, each suit of this material should have two waists provided for it,j one of the serge or doth itself made up on as thin ti foundation as pnu liiabb', the other of foulard or crCpe de Chine for the warmer days, when a ilotb waist is out of the question for indoors. Often a new bodice will save the buying of nn entire pown, and at this time of year it is an execll-nl plan to add one or two new hilk or French flannel waists to the outfit, thus tiding over a cloth coat and skirtl costume until tbe spring. WITH growing uir4 it is seldom feasible to make the one suit or gown serve more than one year, j nnd for this reason it d.es not pay to! buy for them cxpensie clothes. It is iu-' finitely belter, fur example, to remove the) interlining from n winter emit of serge or' cloth and by providing one or two newj wuists for the skirt make the costume; i-erve for school wear throughout the i-pring than to buy n new school outfit for the brief spring session nnd lay the wiu-i ler costume away for another year. The average school girl to-day spurns a fJauiiel shirt waist, preferring not to wear even the pretty I reti h flanm ls which, in their brixht tolors, uro so becoming aud r. V S 1 1 1 ( N ' S changes this year are of slow working, nud there will not be tin' radical all destroying alteratious of other springs. In separate sep-arate waists for example, the regulation regu-lation model fastening down the front, with a full plaited frill and lonz, comparatively com-paratively tight sleeves, the whole relieved re-lieved with plaiu bands of lace or em-broidcud em-broidcud lawn, will still be worn. The newest models, however, show a wide shoulder line, Mirneuhat suggesting the Gibson model, so run to the ground u few years back. These newest waists show the shoulder plait tapering to the waist line, which, now returned to its normal position, is of noticeably smaller dimensions dimen-sions than during the reign of the Umpire gown. Small waists of "w asplike" proportions pro-portions are, however, not at all to be desired, de-sired, and it is doubtful if that so unattractive unat-tractive and so sadly unhygienic fad ever returns to fvor. There is another change that is des-liued des-liued lo tiller completely the nppearauee of all this season's gowns aud waists, and this i-5 tbe introduction of the double puff or "buffoon" sleeve. As yd. this slcec is small in width nnd short in length nlwne a deep cuff, but there Is no forecasting fore-casting to what dimensions the design may attain in the course of the next few months. Since the narrow effect across the shoulders. oeeaM, .ii,-, ,y tight (it- ling sleeve .uu lately, is not apt to Is-, Is-, becoming to the slender figure of n very ; young Kirl. the increased width given by jcvca u small pud sleeve should be wcl- jcudiid among tbe makers of school girl 1 fu-hioui. S'ill another new model shows a bodice j made w ith sleecs all iu one piece with ithe frout and back of the waist. This bodice may be quite Hat front and back. |
