Selection Of Graduation Gifts

embroidery is shown at 81.
Pretty neckwear is especially appro-
pirate for graduating gifts. Dainty
jabots made of null edged with flet.
cluny, vaL and imitation irish are to
be had at so cents up. These are made
much finer by having a single spray
of flowers embroidered on them. The
jabots acn be had already stamped
ready to work with flowers in French
embroidery.
Handkerchief important.
The graduation handkerchief is an
important consideration. 1t may be
made of fine linen trimmed with lace
and the full name embroidered in a
corner. The eyelet edge called the
Madeira embroidery is pretty. For
those preferring lace the linen hand
kerchiefs may be had trimmed with a
val. or Irish edge.
A cretonne picture frame is ex-
tremely attractive in a girls bedroom.
But where this is already owned a
desk set, consisting of a pad, a trim
blotter, or a bright dresser scarf may
be selected instead. There are sew
eral styles of workboxes. The simplest
are the cretonne baskets. More
unique are the satchels which open at
one side. They are filed with scis-
sors. threads, and other sewing
articles.

A HISTORICAL RELIC

Antiquities are so rare in our coun-
try that It is pity we should miss see
ing the few we do possess especially
when they exist so near 20 us as does
a quaint collection Of buildings. the
old half-ruined cloisters Of the Sieben-
tiger. or Seventh Day Bap lists nf Eph-
rata, Pa. which may be reached from
Reading. whence Il is twenty miles dis
tant by the Reading and Columbia r.

cd gabled roofs. of these cloisters with
their tiny dor.ler windows one could

the aid of the German speech that is
heard on every side for Ephrata is the
heart Of the Pennsylvania German.
or as It is miscalled. Pennsylvania
Dutch, settlement, and IL and the
neighboring town Of Lititz have a
quaint foreign air, suggesting German
towns. The likeness is heightened by
the German signs over the shops. the
occasional pretzel factories. the women

skinny dresses, and the men with
broad brimmed hats and long boards

outside, their walls sheathed with
shingles, turned black by age and ex-

These houses were built about 1885
by the disciples Of Conrad Beissel. who
founded the sect known as Seventh
Day Dunkers. although they differ in
other respects from the parent sect
than in the observance of Saturday as
the Sabbath. Beissel preached doc
trines distasteful to the Dunkers

hood was modestly drawn over the

the labor Of the order who made every
article used. The walls are rudely
