MISSISSIPPI SENATOR PLEADS FOR LEVEES ; GRADUATION DAY AN EVENT IN GIRL'S LIFE. SHOULD BE DEALT WITH AS WAS PANAMA CANAL. Dcslrablo Raiment for Occasion A I. way Hai Been and Alwaye Will 80 Demanded Attractive Cos- tumo la llluitrated. For all glrla there Ib a woll-deflued Importanco about tho Kraduatlon dress, and it Is only right that thla should be. Tho dnlnty tollut Id which she makes lior last bow to school life is second only In charm and sweetness to tho wcddlnic KOn, and since It Is to play ao conspicuous a part It calls for the utmost becomtwtness. Our Illustration Kites by all odda the most desirable raiment for th girl who looks best In the soft fineries of womanhood, and the dress Is of purw white French organdy and shadow lace, the most beautiful den telle which has corno to us for yean With this atyle the peplum Is slashed at the hips, or rather It Is In two nar row apron pieces; tho width of the shoulder trimming of the waist Is an aid to narrow shoulders, and If the gown fabric Is soft and lino this fichu would look equally well on tho broad er figure. There Is one great danger to the becomlngness of the fichu, how erer It Is not suited to hlch. souare. shoulders. This loroly dress Is worn over a slip of wild roe pink, which faint blush of color Is repeated In the folded belt Marquisette or telling cotton and wool, would giro a look almost as ro- Hisntlo as the one here obtalnod, and dotted or plain awlss would also be suitable. To the girls who cannot mako their own frocks completely, or afford the handsome made-up effects. I would advise a little examination of tho half made frocks tho shops sell. The skirts of these are entirely made except for back seaming and putting on the belt, and some of these patterns also show some working up of the bodice. One big abep offers frocks of this sort In & coarse unstlffened linen richly treated to laces corerspondlngly coarse. They are extremely effective and fairly cheap from twelve dollars the patters up. Striped Linen, tripod linen Is much In demand for coat and aktrt costumes of the strictly tailored variety, and the shops are showing quantities of this ma terial In new weaves, says the New Tork Herald. The linen crashes In natural linen color with small whlto lines, almost Indistinguishable at a distance, are roost attractive and make extremely smart suits. The yard-wide crashes are CO cents, and those 45 Inches wide 85 cents. Very good quali ties of linen may be had for 28 cents a yard and the striped linens and oth er fancy weaves for 48 cents. Us Antiseptic Cotton. When supplying tho dressing table in the guest room have an attractive Jar containing antiseptic cotton In lieu of powder puff. This Is much more sanitary, for tho cotton may be thrown away after using the powder The powder puff of lamb'a wool is a great collector of germs, and It would be an excellent thing- to sub stitute antlseptlo cotton. Plaoe a fresh plcco In the vanity case each day and'dlscard the small puff of swansdown. Russian Crash. Russian crash Is as corriceable and as artistic for dressing table covers as for luncheon cloth and between meal table runnors. It Is embroldor d In colors or stoncllod to match the room, of course, and Is sometimes aim Ply hemstitched with a wide hem. Crepe Underwear. Cotton and silk crepe, too, are In fa tor now for all articles of lingerie. Doth wash admirably. Some of the finest cotton crepe Is wondorfully at tractive and admits of hand work to xcellMt advantage. MRS.
