It is the type of frock that may be constantly worn, for its trim lines do nol muss easily or grow tiresome. It is flattering to every type of schoolgirl and is so easily made, she may venture success– fully to do it herself. One of the finely checked or loosely woven woolens would be a good choice and a bright touch of color may be added in the selection of bone buttons in bright red, green or blue. The frock has a square neck, side-closing, slightly cir– cular skirt and long sleeves, few pieces to put together. Excella Pattern No. 3568. Sizes. 8 Ul 16 years, 20 cents. CEXCELLA GRAY AND BROWN She might be a college girl, she might be an efficient young executive or she might be a debutante ready for a morning's shopping, but whatever she is she has chosen the smartest daytime dress that could be found. It's of gray sheer woolen with an ap– plied neckband and bow of brown faille-a combination that's very dis· tinguished and ver)', very new. You can trace the important jacket theme in the lapped effect of the bodice and in the unusual skirt seams that sug– gest the edge of a pointed waistcoat.
