Tednians i AR - ¥ _THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1915. ma No. 6131 It is time to begin preparations for the kiddies' school days, and anxious mothers are looking about for fash- ions that will meet various demands. While it is best in the end to have the materials of children's clothes of good quality it is not a wise thing to inyest too much upon one frock or sult. Each year increases the pro- minence of tub materials, which are to be recommended both for their economic and hygienic advantages. There are excellent patterns in ging- ham, madras, cotton poplin, galatea, kindergarten cloth, ete., from which selections may be made, and while all of these fabrics are serviceable they 'are moderate in price. The woollens include, serge, first of course, but the possibilities of chal- lis and voile are not to be overlook- ed Most of the advance modes for Juniors are simple, the old demand sor plain effects persisting. Yet cord- ed shirrings, narrow pleatings, edg- ings, etc., are attractively handled on soft materials, such as net, mulle, batiste, China silk, crepe de Chine, ete, : Long and short waisted effects are equally 'pepular, though it must be admitted that the latter seem betfer suited to dressy materials and mo- dels. Plain blue' gingham is used to develop a frock for the miss who is particular about - her appearance. There is a long waist to which is at- tached a plain skirt, gathered along ns or [he Coming i \ \ i No. 6318 the upper edge and pleated at eith- er side, to givé the fashionable full effect; A broad box-pleat at' the front of the blouse. affords a sur- face for groups of decorative buttons which are arranged on either side of the pleat, about three inches apart. An original little desig that may serve as both coat and frock, accord- ing to the material in which it is de- veloped, buttons down the front at one side, though not in regulation double-breasted effect. The model is cut in one piece, the lower section forming a flare skirt under a wide girdle of self-material. kets, large enough to accommodate the overflow of school-bag and pen- cil-box, are stitched to the skirt and pointed' along the upper edges, where they button to.the belt, Plaids are essentially juvenile ma- terials, and théy are shown in hand- some variety for fall wear. A pleated skirt of Scotch plaid worn with a middy that is partly fitted into the figure by large pleats makes an Ideal school costume. A particularly attractive little frock for school wear is in blue gingham, although other fabrics may be substituted. It is hand smocked, and the collar and cuffs are daintily finished in French knot and feather stitching. There are many cretonne effects for growing girls, and block voiles are employed extensively in developing designs for girls of the "awkward age." Large poc-|d For girls between the ages of four and fourtéen there are simple bloom- er frocks made of percale. The blou- ses are long-waisted, are belted and reach halfway to the knees, partly covering the full-pleated bloomers. | These are made so as to produce a skirt effect. Clever little frocks of linen, mad- ras, etc., are trimmed with small flat collars and cuffs of organdy, batiste, lawn, etc. Smocking is very mod- ish once more and is used in 'many different ways upon youthful frocks especially about the neck and shoul- ers. . Organdy figures less conspicuous- ly in child wear than in the province of clothes for older folks, for the reason that its delightful but ephe- meral crispness, which is its chief charm, would not be likely to stand the usage given it by any save an abnormally demure child, and it does not launder go easily nor so satisfac- torily as some of the other sheer tub materials, : Dots and dotted effects are exceed- ingly pretty and deservedly popular. Dots down the middle of a narrow boxpleat, a line of narrow lace in- sertion down the center of such a pleat and a belt of self-material form a good trimming detail to relieve the severity of some of the very plain linen and chambray frocks, Not in a long time have stripes been so much in demand for child wear as they are this season.

Even the plain black shoe is now suppos- ed to have uppers of white or some color. The really fashionable foot is gloved rather than shod, for the new- est wrinkle is the high boot of soft kid which is neatly laced up the back by a lace slipped over the same kind of hooks as were worn upon the old | fashioned gloves. No girl can lace this boot herself, and it has the fac- ulty of Somigg unlaced frequently, The gallant who kneels behind the fair lady to Jace up her high boots has a less graceful task than when he merely stooped to tie her shoe. Many women will not wear the short skirt without high boots or|Some else puttees or leggings worn over| low shoes.

In spite of these extremes, the woman who looks for dainty, sensib- le clothing at reasonable prices has little cause to complain. The new tailored suits combine style, utility and comfort.

There are exceedingly pretty stripped ginghams in pink and white blue and white green and white and in various stripe arrangements which make smarter frocks for the child than the checked ginghams that have always been so popular.
