DRESSES FOR SCHOOL GIRLS

Fashion Has Been Kind in Allowing a Choice of Many and Pleasing Designs. The peasant bodice in some form is the prevailing style for these drsaass, Some variety is gained By the Introduction of tucks or pleats of various sixes. These are put in vertically on the shoulders to give the desired fullness. Sailor collars of some contrasting material and color are the. rule, with belt and turn-back cuffs to match. Bands of the different material and color, varying in width from eight to fifteen Inches, are occasionally set on the skirt at the foot, a few inches above the hem, or a knee-deep flounce of the contrasting shade finishes the skirt In many Instances, where the sailor collar Is omitted, a shaped yoke of embroidery or lace Is added to the frock of linen or percale about tbe low-cut neck. Silk dresses are treated la a similar manner, the yoke being of self material or of some contrasting shade. —Harper’s Bazar.
