GRADUATING DRESSES.

The lingerie frock, so much in use this season. is the prettiest thing imaginable for commencement dresses, and so various are the forms of trim ming provided by fashion, there is lit- tie danger of tiresome repetition. Soft, clinging fabrics must be chosen, and chiffon, net point d esprit null or soft silk are appropriate for the pur- pose. when economy need not be studied; when that is necessary. orr gandies or Swiss over thin cotton slips can be made quite as attractive and becoming. Berthas, yoked and sleeve frills of lace. wide girdles of soft silk or wide ribbon sashes, do much to make the lingerie frock thing of beauty: and Yalenciennes lace (for which there is a rage at oresent) comes in ex- quisite patterns, and is charming alone. or combined with hand work.

TRAVELLING COATS.

These are made of pongee, mohair, 'brilliantine or ot-proof tafreta, for Spring and Summer wear. The latest model is very loose and voluminous reaching to the foot, and shirred to a deep, ong-shouldered yoke. The very wide sleeve is also shirred in a line with the coat, and no visible break is percept!ble where they are joined. Sleeves are also again loosely shirred at the wrist. leaving a deep frill. Some travelling coats are worn with a wide belt, but most of them hang loose and full. The yoke is ornamented with folds, piping or braid, which may be of a contrasting color

UNDERTAKES
A nississippian Foresees Extinction of
 the Profession in the East.

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir: It is not that I have it in for the 6oc- tors and undertakers, because I writ this, but as the old saying is ito put you next" I will not refer to the inn pulsive generosity which generally ex- ists between them. I remember very plainly one instance in which a Phoe- nix undertaken was very suddenly call ed to the desert to gather together the fragments of a man which .afterward were proven 10 be parts of a sheep. That Is one instance ir which the Goc- tor was in no way involved.
 Some months ago, as I casually step- ped upon the platform of the south bound. little did I think of ever again returning to the land of the under taker. l am now stopping in a town which has a population of 25000 and only, one undertaken, yet oltent.m: S. during the still watches of the night, I am awakened by the chatter of h6ofs upon the pavement. The first sad and painful thought to me is. that some poor soul has gone from amongst us and that the undertaken Is legally do- ing his part. I raise from my couch, peep out of the window, I find I am mistaken, then I become suff1oient.y conscious to realize that have taken up my abode in another land.
 According to existing cifcumstanc s, I am of the opinion that the ea-ten undertaken will soon cease to exist, and that the western undertaken will form one of the predominate features of the west. Whether because of compensa- ton, will not say,-but I will say that whenever an eastern doctor finds pa- tient is beyond all hope of recovery he imm mediately appoints a meeting in his office. The patient arrives at the appointed time, finds the doctor wait ing. After a few dreary moments O. private consultation, the doc.or ex- claims with professional enthusiasm that is pardonable, Your only hope Is to go west where I trust you will soon regain your health" The poor vict m settles his account and immediate y prepares to leave home, friends and ev- erything that ever was dear to him. Thus it is to the advantage of the east ern doctor that none of his patients die under his care while it is to the advan- tage of the western doctor that great numbers die in his possession.

LINGERIE AND SHADE HATS.

Nothing could be more picturesque than the so-called lingerie hats of the season. A beauty is made of lace fully eight inches wide which is finely plaited and placed around the wired crown, in "a double row, full enough to undulate gracefully; the crowd of shirred net is encircled by wreath of small rose buds. Lingerie shade hats are made of null over a featherbone frame with shirrings. outings and frills, plaited or gathered and finished with bows of soft ribbon. With strings, they can be tied down like a poke. and the border can be bent into any becoming and pie turesque shape. They are also made of embroidery.

COMMENT
NEVADA'S POLITICAL REGENERATION.

WYE extend to the good people ofNevada the assurances of our
w most distinguished consideration, says the Utah Journal.
1t appears that Ncvadais preparing to mount the shining heights.
She is going to have It square Senatorial fight. Our neghbor
State is proud of her mines and proud of her irrigation move
ment. But she has more occasion to gloriy herself in this rem
naissance of political honesty than in all other things combined.
What a splendid thing it will be for Nevada to have elected by
honesty and incorruptble Legislatures, men, who, in their turn,
will serve honestly and incorruptibly in the National halls. Not
that all men elected in Nevada have been tainted, but because
some have been, and because the Battle-Born State has suffered
immeasurablv thereby in the Judgment OF mankind.
Sack. When once the old and honest way shall have been ban
iShed, what a proud rank Nevada can take among the States OF
the Union, and how gioriously will her upright citizenship hold It
self in the ewes OF the world! No longer will her Legislatures
await the coming OF the messenger from the banks of San Fran
cisco in order to find out their own opinions concerning public
questions. No longer need they feel that the profitable industry
for the State is milking of the COW whose hind quarters are at
Fourth and Townsend streets in San Francisco.
They are able 20 do Things for themselves-the strong people
of Nevada. They are able to pass laws, good laws, unpurchased
the House OF Representatives and the Senate of the United States.
And the State will take the glory to which It IS entitled. Its
sol Yields under the splendid touch of industry; its mines are
richer than ever before III its history; its manhood and its woman
hood are q : brave and as pure as in the olden time. Nevada,
Will corruption driven out of its politics, is really to be what its
founders hoped, one OF Che most glowing stars III the eternal CON
stellation of the Union sly.

A great deal of unnecessary and
mischievous nonsense has been writ
ten about Ibsen. The fact that much
of it was well intended only added to
the baleful influence Like many
original and aggressive propagandists,
DR.. Ibsen has suffered most in the
house of his friends. He has been a
rallying point for any number Of
strange people, who confounded
their own queerness with his origin
atty and who, because his point of
view was sane, fresh and in many
significant respects almost isolated,
thought it identical with their cratic
and unsteady outlook upon life.
These people are adopts at reading
meanings into a work of genius, and
Ibsen, who of all modern writer's is
singularly capable Of disclosing his
own meanings without any body's as
sistance, has been their special prey
His plays, which have the clarity and
symmetry of geometrical PROPOSE
ton, have been pulled and hauled,
twisted and misinterpreted by these
volunteer commentators until they
have become a WEAKNESS and a by-
word to many sensible people, who
look with suspicion upon a writer
whose exposition of certain funda
mental problems in human life re-
quires such a vast amount of elucida-
ton from without.
Taking their own cue in a way
from these over Jealous friends of
1bsen, his enemies have also read
into his works that are i'm
possible for the playgoer who has no
notions in the matter to
discover when he calmly reads one of,
the dramas or, what is better, sees it
acted. He finds that he is swiftly
absorbed in a narrative which is un-
folded with almost primitive simple
lty, but which in its close adherence
to logic, reasonableness and conference
betrays the hand of a master crafts
man. When he comes into this reali-
zatlon he is put out of conceit with

The reasonable playgoer, impressed
by 1bsen's sane methods of crafts
manship and his stern code of morals
then begins to wonder wherein the
savage criticism to which his plays
have been subjected may have its
