PRETTY FASHIONS *FOR BIG SISTER *

She can make these

W

frocks herself

HEN I was fourteen I wanted to look like my mother. I could not under- stand why this, that and the other style were too old for me.

Most mothers find that daughters of this age elther do not care what they look like or want to imitate too closely an elder alster,

If you want her to look nice, encourage your daughter to take an interest in her clothes, and die will learn to choose wisely, and if she likes sewing it going to save her money later on if she can make her own frocks.

Sketched here are three pocket edition • fashions for girls from fourteen to sixteen.

Practical and Pretty

Young girls clothes should be simple and sensible, but at the same time attractive. These designs are planned on practical lines, and are so easy to make that Miss Fourteen enn make them herself with a lttle help.

At the top left, No. 1214, is a little peasant dress that can be made in velvet or brightly coloured wool fabric with an attractive bruld finish to bodlee and pockets. You could trim the silk blouse with a few gay posies of flowers in luzy daisy stitch.

My second choice for daughter is n Bittle woollen dress, No. 1215, cut with a yoked top, long sleeves and a plain, well-cut sitirt..

dvise a cheerful colour for this dress, say, a Hight navy, copper beech, or cherry red.

Velvet for Parties

A pretty frock for small parties is shown in the third sketch, No. 1216. A little gathered bodice to give case to the figure and the same gathering repeated on the sleeve. Carried out in velvet this will give her a nice warm frock for the entire winter.

Finish dress with a narrow belt or three different tones of narrow ribbon which should be left long at side.
