FOR THE YOUNG LADY

DAINTY MODELS IN PLENTY MARK THE BEASON.

Ingenue Has Been as Well Taken Care of as Her Elders—Checked and Plaid Materials Are Both Popular.

Unfortunately in our country too many young girls are dressed according to their whims rather than according to the canons of good taste, and too many mothers are weakly indulgent rather than wisely authoritative in this matter of dress for their daughters. The fault Is not so common as it once was. Standards are better. With a tailored coat and skirt there should go at least one' pretty, dark blouse matching the suit, and these little dark blouses of silk or chiffon are often brightened up by a bit of colored embroidery or white lace frills.

One or two waists of fine lingerie, silk or cotton crepe may be added to the list, and perhaps an additional wuist or two of the fine light wash flannels may be useful for outing wear. There are many one-piece simple frocks being made up for young girls’ wear in serge, silk, poplin, cashmere and other light weight wools which are practical and attractive, and inexpensive little afternoon and dinner frocks are made up on much the same lines, but with a. touch of more festive color or detail. The coat and skirt of the moment are lengthened at the back, the fronts being cut away in shaped or rounded

effects, and are either seml-fltted or on the youthful Russian lines. An attractive street frock Is of dark blue wool poplin. The jacket has long shawl rovers which fasten at the waistline by a single large button. A small shaped collar of velvet falls over the shawl collar at the shoulder and back, the body of the jacket has a peplum attached at the sides

and back, under the stitched belt of the material. Another extremely girlish model is made of corduroy trimmed with braid, buttons and has a black collar. Very smart checked and plaid materials are combined with plain materials for young girls’ wear, and often one sees one-piece frocks of plain material with plaid trimmings.
