George Parker, a ma chinist, who lives near Athens, but who works in the shops at Decatur, attempted to shuffie off this mortal coil yesterday morning at an early hour at the home Of her husband two and a half miles east of Athens, by swallowing a grain and half of morphine.

oring was far from a drawback for such an
occasion. Indeed, several fine frocks dis
played by private makers for graduating
use, go to extremes with the yellow laca
fad.
One exquisitely beautiful toilette of white
silk muslin was trimmed with lace so
deeply cOlored as to seem almost saffron.
The wide lace was extremely heavy In
quality, though this was made up by its
sparse use-a band in the skirt, one around
the bodice at the bust point, and one at the
top Of each sleeve, being employed.
In the matter of quality, the thinnest
textures are the first choice for this mai
den fnery. Swiss. mOusseline, net, point
d'esprit, organdy and even chiffon are
everywhere conspicuous, and for these
dainty textiles, plain and dotted footing
narrow satin ribbons and fine tucking are
some of the simpler trimmings.
Heavy embroidered linen gowns will also
be worn, as we have caught the linen fever
too badly for fashion to ignore 1t on COM
mencement day. The gala touch will bo
given these gowns by white satin belts and
stole collars in many dressy shapes, as
well as rich lace insertions.
The thinner gowns, even those of
highly elaborate nature, are built upon

people explain, is more girlish than silk.
For the linen frocks, all Of which are un-
lined, unless the texture is a very dia-
phanous weave, the usual white lawn un-
derwear is advised though this may be
crowded with as much lace and ribbon as
the Wearer likes.
All the points OF fashion, except the
train. mark the costumes shown for COM
mencement wear. Skirts escape the floor
or touch 1t, sleeves are elaborately pictur-
esque, and the hips are made slight by
many devices in narrow down-running tucks
and pleats. II the graduating girl is too
much like lead pencil in figure, a puffed
hipyoke or deep encircling tucks may build
her out at this point. But the tendency
is to have the costume below the waist
look as much like an inverted as pos
sible, which means, il the fad increases.

while. Meantime. the whist is left at a
comfortable limit, but the sloping girdle
Is intended to decrease the effect of its
size.
AS. Il is the fad on commencement day
for the pupils of country colleges to walk
about the grounds with only brilliant para
soils to give them a touch of color, the
graduating coiffure is now carefully ar
ranged.
Pretty and youthful styles displayed by
prominent eoiffeurs show the hair twisted

Other low and dropping effects are made
by definitely braiding the hair, which 10

white bow straight across the top. The
front of the coiffure is in a feathery, loose

one side or in the middle, with a mist OF

Pretty details for the graduating girl are

in the popular coarse linens. The object
of them is to hold the handkerchief purse,

the glrlish coquette loves to display on her
white wrist.
A single deep skirt nounee. pointed at the
front, Was a characteristic feature with
several Of these pretty frocks, and many
OF them were made with yokes, tucked,
pulled and lace inserted.
A gown with the skirt hounce headed by
the single row OF narrow Paraguay lace

was made OF sheer French organdy. The
blouse waist fastened under the left arm
and the lace inserted yoke had the neck

OF the prevailing models.
As a certain writer puts It in a post
humOus novel. the lines Of beauty are all
low" Down-falling draperies must sug-
gest slimness whether 1t is there or not.
and square shoulders must be treated in a
way to appear sloping. The chest must
always be held high, but a cunningly ar
ranged drop Of the blouse does away with
too much buxomness lower down. Remem
ber this when you have your gown made,
and strive after the fashionable figure with
deep breathing exercises.
The second of the pretty frocks was OF

with the me-hon0red frill, which is mar

OF the same material formed almost all OF

completely frills, and six of them, show

did all the others, decked the bottom of the
skirt. The upper part was inserted with
Valenciennes lace, crossing at the front in
a complicated pointing.
A point d'esprt frock, with white satin
bands had three skirt hounees of perhaps
six inches in width. The odd little yoke OF
the bodice was plentifully striped with the
satin. which was put on In narrow biases,
aud the fiounces of the sleeves were un-

Beauty Dont's on Teeth

Don't think you can be beauty with
out coed teeth.
Dent bestow less care upon the teeth
that upon the complexion and hair.
Don't brush aeroFs the teeth, but up and
down; the uppe 'e,:h from the gums own
ward and the lower teeth from tn gums
upward.
Don't stand up when brushing the teeth.
The duty is certain to be performed much
more thoroughly and carefully when sit
ting and at ease.
Don't think one toothbrush enough; three
are needed. One sh1Ul1 be ather hard ami
one moderately soft while the third should
be small and round.
Don't let tartar accumulate on the teeth,
for it brings a whole train of evils in it's
wake. Have 1t removed by dentist at
least twice a year.
Don't go to bed without brushing the
teeth, for IL is at night when the tongue
is in repose, that the acid of the saliva
gets in its work on the tee h.
Don't use a tooth powder which contains
gritty, acid or irritating substances, as
the first two act injuriously on the teeth
and the last on the gums.
Don't sleep with the mouth open. Dust
and gritty particles floating in the atmos-
phere enter the trap thus set for them and
inture the enamel by irritation
