Graduating Dresses.

Transparent white fabrics over color
chosen by an entire class will prevail in
some colleges and schools An example is
cream white mousselne de sole over pale
pink satin. Pure white dresses are, how
ever, most used by girl graduates. An
aesthetic design for sheer white wool or
crepe gowns has graceful Grecian draperies
and long flowing sleeves, and should be
worn with n mortar board cap of white
velvet. Some charming girlish gowns OF
white organdy muslin are being made.
They have the full French waist. with deep
Valenciennes lace gathered to fall from
the shirred half high round neck. The
large sleeves have "A lace frill below the
elbow. Three rutIles edged with narrower
Valencienues trim the foot of the straight
skirt, and wide sash of organdy gives the
finishing touch to these simple dresses.
Othermusliu dresses are of sheer nainsook,
made with high belted waist buttoned in
the back.
Deeply crinkled Japanese silk crepe, the
smooth crepe de Chine and China silk are
the white silks used for young girls
dresses. inexpensive dresses of white
China silk for these young girls have the
high round bodice plated on the right
shoulder and shirred on the left, crossing
DeloW, atu leaving u 10 Dc Hllcu OUT
with mousseline de sole draped in curves
Home dressmakers will find simple
model for these white China silks in a
shirred round high bodice hooked in the
back over fitted sateen lining. The full
ness at the waist is gathered on eight or
ten cords, and that at the top is fatty
shirred in round yoke shape, with an inch
wide standing frill of doubled silk about
the low throated neck. The skirt cannot
be too plain, but must be of becoming
length and fullness, and these differ &C
cording to the height of the wearer.
Young lady graduates at evening exer-
cises wear plain or figured mousseline de
sole dresses made with half low corsage,
with coat skirts and long sleeves. The
skirt is demi-trained. Black stockings and
black slippers will complete simple toilets
for graduates. For those more elaborate,
white stockings, with white, silver or gilt
slippers, are suggested. Greek fillets of
white ribbon and au upturned bow at the
side are the pretty ornaments for the hair.
The white gauze fan is suspended from a
bow of ribbon on the right shoulder by
two long ends that hang back of the arm
The gloves may be either white or light

Thecost of papering lies nowadays largely
In the labor employed. So sight OF the
many pretty papers that can DO cheapty

desire to try her own hand at wall paper
ing. To such an ambitious soul the follow
ing hints may be helpful;
Select from the household ono pataens,
sympathetic helper and Danish All the ress.
Two pair Of hands make the work easier,
one person being required to stand ON tine
steps and lay the paper even with the cor

unfold the double up stripand place It even
iy with the hung piece all down tho edge.
A beginner should select . paper neither
too thin nor too thick, and which has as
tiuct mark on the pattern. repeating atseit
At abort intervals so that the strips should
match exactly.
First. the wall should be we'll cleaned,
tho old paper or whitewash removed, and
all cracks and holes filled with plaster OF
paris and allowed to dry.
For a room requiring eight or nine rolls
of paper, four pounds Of Hour should DC
heated to stiff batter with clear, cold
water. Then, having vessel full OF boil
ing water at hand and vessel containing
the batter, large enough to hold two pals
full. pour the boiling water upon the bat

ing in the boiling water. and fine. smooth
paste will be found
It is usual to cut the strip OF paper a
little longer than is necessary, so that II
can be cut off neatly Mt the base board,
after it is put on, as the base board may
not be straight nor parallel with the ceiling.
Take care to study the pattern OF paper
well before you cut it ont; then unroli a
piece from which the left hand imprinted
margin has been evenly cut. Cut off the
strip, and lay it face downward ON the
table, keeping the top Of the strip always
to your left hand; now paste over well and
equally, beginning at the lower end. When
about half done fold it over. pasted side to
pasted side, while you draw the rest on 70
the board to finish it, and when one strip
is prepared mount the steps, attach II
gently to the wall overhead, while the as
sistant draws down the doubled up piece.
When quite straight. dab the edges with a
clean cloth and sweep lightly with clean
cloth, or soft. long haired brush, all
wrinkles before you from left to right.
Lastly, loosen up the bottom of the strip
sufficiently to cut it off the right length
and press back in place again.
Begin your work away from the window,
so that the joins may show less, and that
the strongest light may not fall on your
first efforts.
When corner is reached. cut the strip
if necessary; if the same strip is half on
one wall and half on the other, the paper
is more liable to crack in the corner of the
room.

A pretty, new fancy in looping back cur
tains is to use fancy cord matching in color,
apparently passed through pompons of the
same or contrasting color. Some recently
seen in fawn color on dark crimson closely
resembed small circular strung sponges
at equal distances. These ponpons are
about the size of a Tangcrine orange.
For handsome oak or marble mantel-
piece length of brocade edged with ball
fringe laid on the slab is substituted for
drapery.
Night dress sachets are from eighteen to
twenty-five inches square. They are usual

like wash silk or linen. and have between
the lining and outside thick layers of cot
ton perfumed with the fragrance Of the
flower with which they are decorated
A good size for teacloths is tbirty-six to
forty inches square. including hem or
fringe. An odd and pretty way of finish
ing is to make hem two inches wide with
white linen tassels knotted into its edge,
either all the way around or set quite close
together for four or five inches on each side
of the corners, and the space between left
without tassels.
