School Frocks for Girls.

The young girl’s simple frock for school wear is . made of light weight wool material or of the serviceable mohair, and designs are most simple with smartness added ih the way of plain satin or silk pipings, bands or collars and rows of small buttons. Buttons' always give a smart and dashing look when used plentifully, and dozens of tiny metal buttons, set in rows, are used for the brightening of little girl’s dresses. Soft sashes of satin or chiffon, weighted with fringe, are alpo used on the models designed for young misses in their teens, and these sashes lend a graceful and charming touch. • Skirts are usually in tunic style, or with band trimmings that suggest the tunic, and bodices cross over in surplice fashion, fastening with cord loops or fancy buttons. These dark school frocks are made dainty and girlish by the addition of narrow, hand embroidered collar and cuff sets.
