Costumes for the Sweet Girl
Graduates DaiBtier Than
Ever.'
WHEN A MAN MARRIES
In Fitting Up the Husbands,a
Den—Valu8 of Baths—
Flounces on Waists.
« -:—
Sweet girl graduates are already pre
paring fcr the annual commencement ex
ercises and the dresses for graduation are
daintier than ever. The models for the
frocks are numerous and the materials
varied. Swiss, organdie, mull, muslin,
lawn and point desprit are materials still
used. Xone of the models are, strictly
speaking simple, but a delightfully vir
ginal air is achieved' by much fine sew
ing ribbon sashes and bodice yokes. The
length of the skirt seems largely to de
pend upon the taste of the wearer. For
one girl of 18. the jupe trails are used,
and for another of the same age it is
short enough to show the anklus, the last
sort seeming to- run, however, to models
made entirely of deep flounces.
A charming" little frock with skirt fash
ioned in this way is of French organdie
with embroidery of the same forming an
ornamental yoke to the full bodice. Be
tween the shoulder epaulettes of this
yoke —which eovers the tops of the flow
ing elbow sleeves—and the stole drop at
the elbow are patches of shirring. Thi»
likewise shows in a similar way at the
back of the bodice and forms the hip
yoke of the skirt. Since all effects which
lengthen the shoulders are much used,
and the sleeves are elaborate. the suc
cess of these toilets depends mainly up
on the bodice. Still, skirts must bear the
modish cachet tfs well, and the delicate
textures employed lend themselves de
lightfully to the frills, flounces and tucks
of the season.
Some of the tucks are more than four
inches deep on these pretty little girls’
frocks, as indeed they are on summer
gowns for the elders. But the tucks are
not really tucked—they are only applied,
cut on straight bias, as preferred, and
put on with fagoting. When the bottom
of a skirt is trimmed in this way the
yoke of the bodice matches, with a row
or two of the trimming somewhere on the
sleeves.
One gown so made ran likewise to a
deep girdle effect of lace and fagoting at
the top of the skirt, the gathered bodice
blousing over the top of this all around.
Bodices and blousing lines and high gir
dles are seen, everywhere, and the Span
ish flounce, which is shortest at the front,
appears on many of the skirts. The cuts
of many of the yokes are sweetly child
ish. and one little low frock had gamp
and undersleeves of silk mousseline made
to take out. This wrinkle was under
standable—the gown was to serve more
purposes than one; to be, in fact, miss’s
party frock of the season. To this prac
ticable use many of the party frocks may ;
be put by a single change of ribbon, if
this change is desired. In this way a
pretty effect may be gained if the grad
uating girl cannot wear all white, for
some of the authorities allow delicately
tinted ribbon.
*•
An American young man does not a*
a rule look forward to marriage nor pre
pare for it by saying any considerable
portion of Iris antenuptial income. When
ho marries it is usually on short notice
and because he has fallen very desperate
ly in love with some one and’ cannot find
it in Iris heart to wait until cold caution
declares the venture advisable.
Ever, when an engagement is a long
one he usually squanders so much on
gifts and entertainments for his fiancee
that there is only a very moderate
amount to begin housekeeping on.
Thus before his marriage the young
American of the middle class begins to
giro evidence of what is to be hi* chief
national characteristic as a husband—
his unfailing, unselfish and almost im
provident generosity, says the London
‘♦Telegraph.”
The middle class husband in America
rarely interferes with the affairs of the
household. He hardly knows the cost
of staple articles of food.
As a Tule ho does cot make his wife
a regular alliwence either for household
or personal expenses, hut gives her as
much as he can spare, freely, but witb
a I- !; of system that is not conducive
to best outlay of their income.
young American husband is also

for fine ciothrs. He would far rather

- HINDOOIFaNATICISM.
Mf UUat«4 Twtwai at H»IW«M

Self intlin&ed torture toy Hindoo zeal
ots ie common -in India. One man wH)

upon his leworllp, plant in It a mns
tard seed and net rise from his posi
tion until the seed: has become a plant
of slae. Aaotfcer will make his couch

boots filial with similar delights; yet
another keeps his hands clinched un

and out at ttghhack of hia hands, while
others dfe|kfi&, their legs and anna Into

fanaticism will go, or native belief at
tend, was (Stonr* hr a case reported in
the am a«£fcMOti*ry Oasette of La
hore a year «Fao ag». The natives of
Trevandrpm were found worshiping as
a god come among me* a man who
had taken op Ids residence under a
tree on the bank of a river. For the
first week or. so he ate a plantain and
drank some milk twice or thrice a
week. Them he gradually enlarged the
intervals, till after three or four
months be took no food at all, but
passed his time huddled before a fire,
seeing no one, hearing no one. • Ex
posed to cold and wet, to heat and
dust, be sat thus Without food for
three years, “wrapt In divine con
templation." At the end of the three
years he died, never having spoken to,
or heeded, a soul from the time he
first appeared until the spirit passed
from his body.

London Queen.
_ „ A PMtnt.
Two N«w tnk women went apart
ment hunting and were pleasantly sur
prised to find at toe. end ef their first
day's search an apartment which
seemed to be exactly suited to their
needs. It wes now, desirably situated
and inexpensive — three rooms and
bath, said the janltraas, all with ant
side exposure. The prospective ten
ants walked through the rooms, ex
amining every feature.
“But where is the bathroom?" they
inquired.
The janitrees pointed to an alcove
which was furnished with gayly color
ed hangings and an Awkward looking
divan covered with pillows.
"There it to’’ she explained. “My
last tenants said it was to the way, so
they made a cozy corner out of it Of
course if you want to use if as a bath
room you can take the cover and pil
lows off the tub.”—Harper’s Weekly.
In fitting up a lounging room or “den,”
the colors usually chosen are rich and
dark, in order to give the needful repose
and stability to the schema Pale, flip
pant decoration* have no place in this
apartment. Avoid collecting a meaning
less lot of trifling objects, the distinctive
qualities of which are based upon freak
ishness of form.
Decide upon a style of furnishing and
then abide by its requirements. The fad
for Oriental effects has been somewhat
overshadowed of late by the recognition
accorded to home art: the beautiful In
dian pottery, bead baskets and blankets
of the United States.
Cover the walls of the room with dull,
forest-green paper .or burlap, having the
necessary forniture of weathered oak,
and the dark-soiled floor relieved by rugs
in rich bnt subdued colors. Arrange In
dian relics over on the oak mantle, and
curtain the doorways and cover the couch
with Ind'nn blankets. Those made by
the Indians of Xew Mexico are obtain
able at reasonable prices in black, red,
blue, yellow and green. Pillows of dull
red or blue burlap embroidered in beads
or raffia are particularly harmonious, as
sociated with the blankets, and the
stamped designs and materials are ob
tainable at first-class shops dealing in
fancy goods. Pillows of leather with an
Indian head painted or embroidered with
edges finished by a fringe of leather are
also artistic. If the room is merely in
tended for a lounging place a brilliant
lige is unnecessary, hence hanging lan
terns of wrought iron with globes of
dark ruby or amber glass are sufficient
* * *
There is no better time to consider
the great need and value of bathing the
body than at this season of the year,
when vacation and the seashore or lake
and river are uppermost in our minds.
If we understood and appreciated
mere fully the importance of constant
bathing and of keeping the skin and
body in perfect condition, there would
be fewer chronic invalids and sick per
sons among us. We cannot enjoy ex
hilarating and thoronh health if we neg
lect to be clean. Cleanliness is health.
To be clean is to be godly. Some people,
of course, can neglect the bath and yet
enjoy a fair degree of heatlh, but if
these persons would give better atten
tion to the neds of the body they would
possess a finer degree of health and
would become stronger, more alive, more
fresh and more clean!
« * .
A deep flounce, trimmed to correspond
with the one on the skirt, is seen on
many of the prettiest waists. The bodice
beneath is simply a dainty French baby
waist, shirred into a yoke, built up of
insertions of lace, pin tucking and em
broidery. The flounce, shirred at the
top and falling twelve or fourteen inches
deep, is applied along the yoke line, the
joining being covered by a frill or ruch
ings. It falls gracefully down the front
and back, and over the sleeves, much
like a full bertha or a low necked cape.
