be fashioned must nave absolutely no

graduation gown. and in selecting the
material for this a~ll-important frock
this fact must be borne in mind. Wash
fabrics are infinitely more attractive
than any Others for the graduation
dress, though among the wash fabrics
must be included, this year, cotton
voiles which in such an infinite variety
of qualities are. the most popular thin
fabrics of the season.
Among the sheer fabrics shown for
graduates frocks are the new mousse

to cobwebs. Batisse, embroidered

- COMMENCEMENT day is one of the
events in a maiden's life, and she
greets this chance to look her prettiest,
thus pleasing the onlookers and her.
self.
There is an unwritten law of good
taste that the dress of the girl gradu-
ate should be simple. The subtle eff
fects, the yelling of elusive colors, the
glinting silver and gold that are such
a factor of dress this season are not
for her.
Though the silhoutte still keeps slen-
der and the skirts are of narrow cut.
yet many of the smartest and newest
models show a tendency toward greater
fulness. The Corday skirt has a slight
ly fulled overdrapery, and many of the
graduating frocks are made with
closely-fitting tops to which a scantilv
gathered rufie is added at the bottom.
Nearly all the really smart frocks
shown for graduation wear are made
in one piece, but at the same time a
tunic effect is given, in many cases
by trimmings or by a band carried
around below the knees. Sometimes,
however. there is a separate under
skirt and a tunic, but as a rule the
frock is a one-piece foundation draped
over or decorated to give a high-waist-
ed tunic effect.
The commencement gown is without
it's sweep this year, and must either

Eyelet embroidered batiste is one of
the smartest materials OF the season.
In the case of the dress illustrated, it
is combined with plain batiste and
with banding. The blouse is one of
the very new ones that is made of
two materials and trimmed to give a
bolero effect, but it really all in one
piece. The skirt is made with a five
gored foundation and straight gath
cred flounce over which the two-piece
tunic is arranged. The entire dress is
exceptionally we'll adapted to combin-
alton of material and those illustrated
are among h smartest of all things,
but the model is not to be confined
to any one use. 1t will be found
charming Doth for plain and for Dor
dered materials. Both tunic and
1ounce are straight at the lower edge,
consequently they suit the latter espe-
eially well, and bordered marquisette
and voiles are exceptionally beautiful
this season. The entire dress is made
of such with the border cut off and
applied ove the plain blouse would be
exceedingly charming. Figured ma
terial could be combined with plain.
and pongee and foulard will be found
Just as well adapted to the design as
lawns, batistes and other washable
fabrics. Figured foulard combined
with plain silk or satin would make a
very smart frock, n the banding
could be beaded net or heavy lace or
velvet ribbon. or any banding that
suits the material.
For the 16-year size the blouse will
require Is yard of plain material q,
Sc or A inches wide, with IA yards Of
fancy material 27 or % yard 96 or "A
