There Is always one rule that should be
observed in making graduation gowns
The materials should not be heavy, and
they should never be deliberately made up.
Thick satins, heavy moires and stiff bro
cades are out of place on girl who is just
emerging from school. 1t is optional wheth-
er gloves are worn or not. 1t is certainly
more girlish and pretty not to wear
them. The slippers or boots should be Of
the material of the dress, of white
suede. White satin shoes will make the
foot look large, and silk or dressed kid are
no better. In facts the closer one sticks to
simplicity in the preparation for a girls
graduation the more pleasing the affair will
be. BELL BALL.

TO sUBDUE ONIONS.
Mouth Washes That Destroy Their
OdOr.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Talk about the tobacco-scented breath Of
men," said a pretty girl. II have suffered
more at matinees from sitting next a wo-
man who had eaten potato salad or Spanish
omelet or some dish Of which onions or
garlic formed part than 1 ever did from
the fumes of tobacco in the presence of men.
The odor of wine which women drink at
table as often as men do Is more pleas
ant because 1t is waited from between the
pretty lips of woman, who. perchance.
would tip-tilt her nose at detecting it on a
'horrid man."
There is more truth than poetry In this
criticism, but a little care will prevent any
one from being offensive on account Of the
food or liquids they have taken. A cup of
black. coffee will destroy the fumes of the
malodorous onion The fad" of having
peppermints and wintergreen cream candies
on the table has method in its Madness as
one of these will destroy the odor left by
wine. 1t would be quite safe to use as a
mouth wash and gargle after each meal a
glass Of water, in which has been put "a few
drops each of camphor and myrrh. A bit of
orris root might be carried in the masculine
pocket for use when necessary for it, as
well as stick cinnamon or ginger will dis
guise unpleasant odors. In some cases,
however, the "ounce OF prevention" would
render resort to these DISCUSSES unneces-
sary. Henry Ward Beecher once charac-
teristically said: There is no smell so uni

HER SPRING DIET.
Hints for the Woman Who Really
Respects Her Digestion.

Hints for the Woman Who Really
Respects Her Digestion.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Now Is the time to bring down the proud
head of the butcher and to make his spirit
sore within him by ceasing to patronize
him much. The days of green's and vege-
tables have come, and the woman who
practices vegetarianism during the spring
months Is the woman whose temper will be
good, whose step will be springing and whose
complexion will be thing of beauty later
on. THE spring tonic" to which most
people unfailingly return at this season,
will not be needed if meat is also banished
from the bill of fare.
In all probability the hygienic woman has
all winter been eating oranges before she
attacked the oatmeal and mullins of her
morning repast. Oranges are still in order
but they may be varied bS gra,-e fruit anu
before long by strawberries even. Straw
berries and cream, by the way, are not a
fit dish for a morning meal, but the berries
alone, with little powdered sugar, will
make a delicious beginning for breakfast
Oatmeal Is also to be b2nished from the
breakfast table. and hot bread and heavy
cakes. Let cold graham bread with deli
cious butter be substituted and let little
piece Of broiled fish. with plenty of water
cress, be added, and there is breakfast
dainty enough for the most epicurean taste
and hygienic enough even for a nineteenth
century woman.
For luncheon she should have more fruit
dates, figs or any other sort-more cold
whole wheat or graham or rye bread, olives,
crisp lettuce leaf or so, and a cup OF
fresh-made, fragrant tea. The deadly eclair
and the fatal cream puff must be tabooed
in the hygienic spring luncheon.
At dinner hot clear SOUP very little WELL
cooked meat, plenty of fresh vegetables, a
green salad with French dressing, fruit and
a ''thimbleful'' of black coffee will make a
goodly repast.
And the woman who eats these things
will be blooming like the rose within three
months.

THE BUCKLE FAD UPON US.
Being Collected With n Vim the Sou:
venir spoon Craze Knew Not.

venir Spoon Craze knew Not.
From the Philadelphia Times.
The merry maidens of Gotham are now
collecting buckles. They prefer a new buckle
to a box of bon bons or a bunch of violets,
and when presents are not numerous their
own allowance dirninishes with startling
rapidity. Cause.-The boom in buckles. The
dainty summer shirt waists are, in a meas
ure, responsible for this buckle craze. They
require a belt and the belt requires a
buckle.
The silver buckles are the most popular.
They are long and narrow, or round, and
much ornamented. Some are of filigree,
while others are plain or oxidized. Buckles
of black enamel inlaid with silver or gold
are effective upon delicately tinted ribbon
belt. The gold buckles are beautiful enough
to warrant the price at which they are sold.
One represents a gold hoop. around which
a snake has twined it's body. The eyes are
glistening emeraldS.
Plain gold buckles have the owners mono
gram engraved upon them. Among the
newest silver buckles are those inlaid with
pale blue enamel. Delicate buckles of tor
toise shell are also seen this year inlaid
with gold enamel. The buckles which
adorn the tennis belt are sure somewhere to
show a racquet. A new buckle to be worn
with yachting gown is of Roman gold
shaped like an anchor, with bronzed cords
coiled about it, A dainty buckle attached to
a white ribbon belt was formed of a wreath
of blue enamel forget-me-nots. Jewel boxes
made especially for buckles are now being
manufactured.

The Woman's Century.

FrOm tne Ldules nome JOurnal.
For conscience sake. let US cease this ever
lasting prattle about the present being
"woman's, century" and 'womans age"
implying each time that we say it that the
women OF any previous age were driyeling
idiots. and casting slur upon the very
women who gave US our being. Why is
this ''woman's century any more than was
any century before it? Just because a few
thousand more women are engaged in bust
ness? Does that fact make it a "woman's
century, We haven't determined yet, by
any means. whether the present tendency
OF woman going into the rougher CONNER
cial pursuits is to her interest or to the
benefit of those who will follow her. A lit
tie caution here is a very good thing. What
sense is there in this constant ng-donging
into the ears OF our girls that they are born
at the dawn OF woman's emancipation 30
Emancipation from what? VIII this sort
OF thing teach our girls to have a greater
respect for the women OF past generations +?
If We keep up this harangue much longer
/ shall not blame our youngest girls If they
get the notion that the world only began
about forty or fifty years ago. Ii we ex-
pect children to have a respect for their
mothers, and their mothers parents, we
cannot enshroud the times in which they
lived with the darkness OF ignorance and
bigotry. The women who lived before The
present agitators of the 'woman's century,
were born did a thing or two in the world :
history. far more. i venture TO prophesy
from their present talk. than the women of
today will do in these latter days il they
pursue their present course. If these wo-
men-few in number, fortunately-forget
this fact let us not be persuaded to do so.
We live in a glorious time of the world s
history, but there were glorious times be-
fore We ever came into the world, and so
far as the women Of those times are con-
cerned. they were not the interiors Of our
modern women, except in SO far as their
limited opportunities compelled them, of
necessity, to live more contracted lives.

and upon this she raised a pin cushion by
means of rags and saw dust. The sleeves
were cut off at the elbow and tightly tied,
and then the figure was inverted and tight
ly packed with sawdust. This was allowed
to settle for two days. and was then again
punched and pounded until every crevice
was rammed tight. Then another piece of
cardboard was cut to fill the bottom oriice
and this was sewed in, and the whole figure
covered with muslin to prevent the saw
dust leaking, and to afford a good pin
hold. The model Is now the exact shape
of the individual the dress is intended for
and all she needs to do is to place the
model on the table, put on II a pair of cor
sets and fit the material over these. When
the model grew "habby'' she frightened 1t
by forcing the sawdust out of the arms
into the bust and refilling the arms with
fresh sawdust
