FOR THE MAID AT SCHOOL

-Coming Season's Styles Sufficiently Advanced to Allow of a Judicious Selection Now. - - - ■ ■ - ■ Preparation of the wardrobe of the girl who goes away to school should be begun early. Fortunately fall styles have already been sufficiently settled so that making up simple dresses, blouses, etc., for school wear may be done along next season style specifications. Smocks now being brought out for fall emphasize the strong hold thia garment has acquired. The Cossack smock, is an interesting model. Thia is . cut on straight lines and is somewhat longer than the conventional smock. The jersey weaves either in silk or wool (fiber silk is more frequently employed than pure silk) are popular fabrics, and brilliantly contrasting silk floss, heavy wool or chenille is used .to embroider the garment. One of these smocks will be found excellent for sport wear during the late summer or early fall days. The young college or high-school girl will find such a garment matched with a plain wool fabric shift very useful.
