Fad for Early Rising.

An early to bed and early to rise is the
latest craze Of society. The fashion was
set by number OF smart women whose
physician held in high disdatn their
sacred custom of breakfasting in bed. In
favor Of the benefits to be derived from
an adherence to the old adage. he says:
practically 30 per cent Of us rise an
hour too late. Everybody up to the age
Of sixty years should be downstairs by Z
o'clock. Then two-mile walk, a ride on
horseback or cycle spin should follow.
Lack OF money Is no excuse, for walks
cost nothing but effort
eff this course were followed there
would be a real desire for breakfast-a
desire which, suppose, is absent in 80
per cent of the people who rise late.
While It Is easy to develop an appetite
for subsequent meals Of the day, break
fast is different. For several hours one
has been in bed, and a fresh supply of
oxygen is necessitated. This can only be
obtained by genuine exercise before the
meal. not by q casual spin on the veranda.
But this early rising is not good unless
there is also an early retiring to bed.
Children used formerly to go to bed at
o'clock and their parents at IL. Nova
days the children go to" bed at the latter
hour and the parents the next morning.
If early hours were made the thing, a
vast amount of neuraSthenia, nervous
breakdowns and cases of melancholia
would be avoided"

The Beauty Seeker.

ways of resting. Change of scene. change

forms Of rest. The worker In town or

Making a Scarf.

There Is no reason why a girl with a
bit of ingenuity cannot nave one of the
scarfs which are so popular this season
without the expenditure Of lot of
money. She can make striking and un-
usual one by choosing uncommon mate
rial and color combinations.
One lovely scarf was made Of two and
one-haf yards Of rose 1shnet lined with
black chiffon. The chiffon was hemmed
on the right side and the edges Of the
hem were finished with a narrow gold
openwork braid.
girl rummaging through an old chest
found two yards Of velvet in a shade OF
magenta which seemed perfectly impos-
sible. She lined it with black messaline
bought at the remnant counter and bor-
dered 1t all around with deep black silk
fringe from a doIman that had once been
the pride Of her grandmother's wardrobe.
The result drew glances of admiration
wherever she wore the handsome scarf.
Another girl lined two yards Of sea
green messaline with peachblow pink
messaline, bordered the scarf with white
marabou and caught the ends together
with heavy green silk tasse's.
with black chiffon dotted with the royal
blue in dots the size of dime. Natural
marabou was used TO finish the edges
and the ends were finished with smart
pendent bows of black velvet ribbon.

Graduating Gown.

| There are two times in the life OF a
girl when the subject of single dress
Is Of momentous importance to her and
when all other subjects are relegated to
the background until this one Is definitely
settled. First In point of Importance Is
the bridal gown, but first in point OF
time is the graduation dress.
| The sweet girl graduate Is clad in
gown of fairy Wilderness. just as bride
Is gowned IN virginia. white. She chooses
some sheer. inexpensive material symbolic
of her girlhood and carries out the idea
of youth in all the accessories OF dress.
An overdressed girl graduate Is sorry
sight, and every mother or guardian
should carefully guard against such
mistake. The girl who has pinched
through school by dint of many sacri-
fees and who is wearing simple little
frock Of lawn trimmed in tucks Is far
smarter and more attractive. because her
girlishness Is accentuated by the simple
| ity of her dress.
! Dotted swiss is one of the prettiest OF
the sheer white materials for graduation
gowns. 1t requires less trimming than
the plain fabrics and is practical, be-
cause 1t launders well. Irish crochet lace
can be purchased at reasonable prices at
one of the larger stores, and 1t looks par
lticularly well in the dotted swiss.
| Organdie has lost none of its favor as
| q typical fabric for the frock OF the
young girl. Its misty folds float about
| a slender form in graceful pillows, sug-
gestive of sprngtime. Fine yalenciennes
and mechlin laces are most effective with
organizes and with French lawn or India
linen.
| Sheerest handkerchief linen IL a gradua-
| tion day frock favorite that mas won
favor by reason of its softness and its
ability to come fresh and new from the
tub Cluny, baby Irish and Irish crochet
lace are al, appropriate trimmings that
help create a fascinating lingerie model.
| For the girl who likes something more
elaborate there is fine white net. A gown
Of this kind should be made as simple
as possible, the best designs being built
with empire waists. wound with supple
ribbon sashes or bound with silk cord
with tasseled ends. A plain shirring
should finish the neck, and If trimming
is used at all 1t should be sparingly.
| White shoes Of kid or suede should be
worn with such costume. The wearing
of gloves is governed largely by the Gus
tom OF the school or college from which
the girl Is to be graduated.
