FANCY RUNS FREE IN SELECTION
OF GRADUATION GIFTS; MANY
AND CHEAP.

There are many attractive and mex
pensive gifts suitable for graduates. For
the boys silk socks in black and in
colors are suitable. Where the giver
has time she can embTOider a mono
gram in the same color as the sock.
Handkerchiefs also are madesmore efec-
tive by being embroidered with a hand
some monogram.
In the same line of useful gifts a boys
first cane Is to be reckoned- Hat bands
and silk markers are once. more fashion
able, and these are easily made. A
fourth of a yard of ribbon not more
than four inches wide may be used for
the hat band. A coat marker can be
made with less chan an eighth of a yard
OF ribbon about six inches wide. The
initials for the hat band are pretty
when made about two inches high, while
one large letter of five inches is suit
able for the coat. In embroidering these
letters should be padded or the papier
mache molds used.
The silk crochet four-in-hand necktfes
ir any pretty shade Of blue, green, and
oid rose are to be counted among the
gifts boys like. These can be bought at
81 and up, but can be made 1t home for
less than 20 cents. WaistcOats are usual
" expensive I'm the stores. but seven
eighths of yard Of canvas or pique
linen is all that is needed. The canvas
can be decorated with a simple herring
bone stitch or with added dots.

Jewelry Is supposedly worn for orna-

condition that il is anything but orna-

There Is no surer sign Of careless
ness than to wear pins. rings. and
chains so black and greasy that onlook-

the personal cleanliness of the Wearer.
There Is no excuse for this diTtiness
when soap and water are to be had. 1t
Is well to purchase small box of jew
polishing. A rouged chamois is also
helpful.
Il Is particularly ill advised for the
girl who works 10 wear dirty jeWelIy.
Indeed, she should wear as little as pos
sihle. A watch, cuff buttons, and D
simple brooch. or pin at the neck is all
that is permissible for good taste.
These should be kept shining.
