FOR BOARDING SCHOOL
GIRL’S WARDROBE NEEDS MOST
CAREFUL SELECTION.
Costly or Inexpensive, the Main
Thing la That Articles Provided
Are of the Right Kind and
Suitable.
How costly or inexpensive the
clothes which the young girl will take
to boarding school should be must
depend somewhat upon the clothes
allowance of each
individual girl, but
even more impor
tant is the ques
tion of the rules
of the school that
she is about to
attend. Some
schools are very
strict as to the
simplicity of the
pupils' dress, and
others are quite
liberal. leaving
much to the choice
of the scholar.
Starting with
underclothes you
will need one-half
dozen pairs of
stockings. For
everyday wear
lisle thread will
be more satisfac
tory than silk, and
for dressy wear
an extra pair of
■white and anoth
er of black silk
may bo added.
One-half dozen undershirts, six pairs
of drawers, six corset covers, three
pottieoats, three pairs of shoes, a pair
of slippers, a long kimono, two palra
of gloves, two hats, a dark coat suit,
n separate top coat, one or two serge
dresses, an afternoon dress of silk, an
informal dinner dress, and an evening
dress of some sheer material, six sep
arate waists.
I The question of laundry work is al
ways one that is more or less difficult,
and the fact that one is away at school
does not solve the difficulty. There
fore, everything that can be done to
simplify the work will add much to
one’s peace of mind later on. All
clothes must be plainly marked with
one’s Initials, and If it is possible to
have the whole name on each garment-

a place among the schoolgirls’ lin
gerie. These materials are inexpen
give, wear well, and last, but not least
in their favor, is tho fact that when
laundered they do not require iron
ing. That they can be sent from the
laundry simply tubbed and dried, ne
cessitates much less work, and natur
ally incuts less expense, which most
girls will take into consideration. It is
always nice to feel that one may be
liberal in changing one’s underclothes
and if the cost of laundering can be
reduced by having materials that do
not require ironing then one may in
dulge in the luxury of frequent
changes.
NEW CORSET WILL BE LIKED
Better Adapted to the Figure Than
Any That Has Been Designed
Recently.
The new high bust corset, which
conies four inches above the waist
line and is just high enough to form a
support for the base of the bust, is
the corset to be worn with the new
etyle bodices. The top is just full
enough for the flesh to rest easilv in
aide tho corset. Then there will be
no pushing up of the bust, no com
pressing of the diaphragm.
There is a great difference between
the old and the new style of high-bust
corsets. To preserve the large waist,
which is still fashionable, these new
corsets are made with a full back.
Some also have small gussets under
neath each shoulder blade, while oth
ers have sufficient fullness to form a
ripple at the top. The skirt of these
<K rsets is long over the thighs in the
tack, with a slightly shortened line
in front, the Hat back and the large
- waist with a slight curve at the side
fronts. The materials are soft and
pliable and the boning light.
r The reason for the change of cut
of corsets Is the semi-fitting character
of the fashionable dresses and w'alsts,
which makes necessary corsets which
n hold the bust in a slightly higher posi
tion. These dresses are not tight, but
they are semi-fitted, with a dart over
the bust to accentuate the curve,
whether the garment fits snugly or
otherwise.
e Those bodices are in several styles.
6 Some are buttoned straight in front,
1 with plain front sections which are
B darted and have under-arm gores.
Others are in surplice effects, the
crossover pieces being drawn tightly
over the bust. High girdles are also
in fashion, which are of the same
height all around, -reaching a point
even with the base of the bust. Some
times the girdle is drawn In at the
front. Again It may have buttons
from the top of the lower edge. Over
these fitted girdles the bust would
fall loosely if it were not supported
by the corset.
There are also low-bust corsets for
the slender and coinpact figures, which
will wear garments suitable for them.
There are also models designed es
pecially for dancing, which have a
shorter skirt in front and elastic in
serts in the back. The tops of these
are low. and there Is an elastic band
around the top edge from side to side.
For the schoolgirl there are low and
medium-sized corset waists with long
corset skirts and front steel fasten
ing, These corset waists so closely
resemble the regular corset that
young girls feel quite satisfied with
them.
SMARTNESS IN PARIS STYLES
Two Fascinating Dresses Intended for
Evening Wear Have Undeniable
Qualities of Chic.
From Paris one learns of an evening
dress, a delicate mixture of rose
colored souffle de sole and tulle bead
ed with brown, with which was min
gled brown chantilly lace. The cor
sage, in brown Houffie de tulle, was
completed with bretelles consisting of
large cabochons of brown glass, and
a gold ribbon showed at the decollete.
From the tunic of very novel shape
hung garlands of brown beads, while
the same beads were rolled around the
tulle to form little w-inged sleeves.
Another toilette, quite up to date in
• Its mixture of styles, and also easy to
wear, was of apricot taffeta, draped in
the manner we see In engravings of
the eighteenth century. The corsage
was a kind of wide fichu of gauze
striped with gold and silver, which
was taken round and crossed at the
back below the hips. A corselet of
silver threw its transparence like a
broad band around the waist.
With this toilette the 1878 high coif
fure was worn, and in ft was a knot of
black velvet. Above the elbow, at the
wrist, and at the neck, was repeated
the same black velvet knot. Nothing
could be more entirely feminine than
these little details, which are alone
sufficient to indicate the refinement of
the wearer.

HAD BEEN GIVEN PERMISSION
Ingenious Youngster Had Excellent
Excuse for What Looked Like
Disobedience.
Little Frederick longed to go bare
foot and had begged his mother many
times to allow him to do so. but she
. had always refused. She was very
I much surprised, therefore, to see the
I little boy playing in the yard one
! afternoon, minus shoes and stockings.
"Why, Frederick'" she said, after
' she had called him in. "Who gave you
: permission to go barefoot?”
i "God did, mother.” replied the child,
seriously; "J prayed and asked him."
"Why, my boy," said the mother.
"I don’t believe God would answer
a naughty prayer like that.”
"Yes, he did,” said Frederick. “You
always say ’Silence gives consent,’
mother."
Waived the Other Chance,
"At ten o'clock tomorrow rooming
I will be prepared to answer your pro
posal of marriage."
"Why the delay?”
"1 gives me time to play fair with
another suitor. If he doesn't come
across when he hears of your offer,
I’ll take you."
"Under the circumstances 1 must
; withdraw my offer.”
j "Must you? Then under the cir
' cumstances, I waive the other chance
and take you.”
Telepathy to the Front.
"Do you believe there is such a
thing as telepathy?”
"rm forced to believe in it.” replied
the recklees publisher. "It’s the only
means of explaining some of the direct
communications 1 have been printing.”
The Limit of Affection.
"Do you love me, ’Erb?"
"Love yer, "Liza, 1 should jest think
I does. Why, if yer ever gives me up
I'll murder yer! I can't say more’s
that, can I?" —Punch.
SICK DOCTOR
Proper Food Put Him Right.
The food experience of a physician
in his own case when worn and weak
from sickness and when needing nour
ishment the worst way, is valuable:
"An attack of grip, so severe it came
near making an end of me, left my
| stomach in such condition I could not
retain any ordinary food. I knew of
i course that I must have food nourish
। ment or I could never recover.
; "I began to take four teaspoonfuls
! of Grape-Ntits and cream three times
i a day and for 2 weeks this was almost
! my only food. It tasted so delicious
i that I enjoyed it immensely and my
stomach handled it perfectly from the
first mouthful. It was so nourishing
I was quickly built back to normal
health and strength.
"Grape-Nuts is of great value as food
to sustain life during serious attacks
in which the stomach is so deranged
it cannot digest and assimilate other
foods.
"I am convinced that were Grape-
Nuts more widely used by physicians,
it would save many lives that are oth
erwise lost from lack of nourishment."
