Elaborate commencement froc Its at e
the greatest cause of heartbreak in
the schoolgirls world. They turn
what should be the happiest festival
of life into nothing moi« than an ex
hibition of vain feminine rivalry.
There Is Just one way to overcome
this and that Is to have every aohool
fjrl in America—rich or poor— make
her ov. n dress and to make it unlaw
ful for her to pay more than $5 for
the materials which go ..*to it.
The finest moment of my life will
he when l win over all our schools to
such a program. It can be done, for
wr are doing It this year at Waari

T'hat’s because I disputed bis right
To take and sp« nd all my week’s earn-
At Mulligan's wake Sunday night.

And turn all our husband s hearts from

ITALIAN WOMEN OUT
FOR THE FRANCHISE
ROME. .Tunc 7. —Italian sufiragettM
are in n ferment over the n**\v elec
toral bill which is now under discus
sion in the chamber of deputies. The
hm adds several millions of voters to
the register, but the preamble gives
special reasons why it it* considered
lnadvtsgble to admit women to the
franchise. This statement has boon
the signal for a fresh outbreak «-f suf
fragist activity which culminate In »
monster meeting at the Marchiginno
dub. Tn addition to the chief lenders
of the movement ihcrc were present a
sprinkling of socialist deputies, In
truding Signor Turatl, erononilcis nnd

v.ns occupied by Signora Terts« '.a
bviola. who was supported by Mrs.
Nathan. Signora Ferrari and other
feminists of note.

thusiasm by her Inaugural address a

York and it la a great success.
For a beautiful sheer graduating
dress buy 3V* yards of thin wiiite
batiste at 35 cents a yard. This wnl
be plenty, as It is very wide. The
cost will be $1.25. This leaves $1.75
for lace, ribbons, rue!)lnga and other
trimmings. A pretty way of making
this dress is in the new ’kerchief
fashion. This walls for a fichu, lace
trimmed, about the shoulders, and a
rather full, trimmed skirt, with pan
nier effect. When done it should be
very frilly-looking. Properly made by
a girl pupil under direction of a
teacher, no dress costing $25 will be
prettier or daintier.
A second dress can be fashioned of
white cotton voile. Enough of this
material can be purchased for $1.50
to make a frock. It can be? made In
the modified empire atyle with inset
sleevea and embroidered by hand
with white floss. Enough floss can
be bought for 50 cents to do this,
bringing the total up ‘to only $2. ff
Ibe extra dollar Is to be put into It,

the less staid portion of the audience,
and the speaker herself smiled. The
window was shut and business pro

Among novelties brought forward
in the way of argument by different
speakers was that the recent admis
sion of Italian women to a Masonic
lodge. This Signora Trolse, the well
known writer of Milan, declared re
moved the slander on woman that she
is incapable of keeping ( a secret. An*
other speaker, Signora Dolbelli, point
ed in triumph to the recent discussio*
on the brain, which proved scientifi
cally that woman was man's equal in
every respect.
An order of the day was passed
urging woman of every calling and
grade of life to leave no stone un
turned until the cause of feminine
suffrage had triumphed. One male
speaker, whose name did not tiai.s
pire. got up to denounce window
smashing and similar acts; hut he
vas hooted down, and disappeared
quietly by a back door.
NEXT DUMA WILL HAVE
AN ALL-COSSACK PARTY
ST PETERSBURG."” Jtpie 7.-Five
million Cossacks, the Czar's best fight
ing material, form a separate political
Party for the new duma. whose ejec
tions begin next October. Their pro
gramme includes political, economic
and educational development and a
revival of the Cossack military spirit
which saved Europe from the Turks
in the Middle Ages. All Cossacks will
hencflorth bind themselves as one
huge family and fight for their Inter
est in the Russian parliament.
Czardom has never conquered the
Cossacks, who hold their vast tracks
of territory on military tenure, giving
twenty-five years’ service per male
adult, with horses and rifles thrown
in. They elect their own chief, or
lie!man, and have all the advantages
of a republic. The czar holds the
courtesy title of "Hetman of the Cos
sacks.’
Military authorities reckon them
the best light cavalry ill the world.
They are Tartars and Mahommedans
to a man and when at home live In
tents like the Arabs.

PRINCE OF WALES IS
HOMESICK IN FRANCE
IjONDON, June 7.—The prince of
Wales is growing very tired of Paris
and is extremely homesick. It seems
that he strikes ofT each day another
cate from his calendar, and enters
the number of days that Intervene be
tween his home-coming.
He has stuck to his studio*, and is
beginning to speak French wiJt per
fect accent and great fluency, but
though he will not grumble, he makes
no secret of his oplniou that after all
there is no place like I.ondou, and no
breakfast like an Knghsu breakfast.
A formal dinner party will be ar
lunged at Buckingham palace ftv
tune 24 in honor of the birth unuiver
«ary of the prince on the previous
day, and this will be the first occasion
in which the heir apparent will be the
Principal guest at a banquet.
