A fashionable shop last week showed a
window full Of new Cordeliere bags, and
each bag was accompanied by parasol
matching it precisely. One imagines that
miladi will have her hands full, quite lit
orally, when she tries to manage both
cordeliere and long-handled parasol this
summer. The prettiest bags in the WIN
dow were of chiffon-veiled toile du joie,
the rich colors of the latter fabrics show
ing through the black chiffon in subdued,
blurred effect. The paraSols were of the
tuie du joie over which chiffon was shir-
red thickly, a deep hem of dark velvet
bordering the parasol. ALI these para

ing. is extremely simple in design and is
trimmed only with bands OF the cfuny
insertion. The sash is of pale pink satin
ribbon. with a butterfly bow and short
ends at the back. and the big pink Milan
nat is trimmed with pink ribbon and
masses of tiny pink rosebuds.
Still simpler Is graduating frock of
soft white null which owes its pretti-
bands of putting quite as much as to the
little yoke and sleeve caps Of eNquistely
fine Swiss embroidery. The putting is a
new notion this season and is an espe-
cially effective trimming for sheer. sim
pie little white frocks of this character.
The manner in which the skirt Is pleated
at the top and attached to the gathered
bebe bodice under cordins is interest
ing. The knotted white cords and tas-
sells on the sleeves are also a new note.
Another. more elaborate. tub frock
for graduation day shows one of the new.
fashionable sashes with ends falling al
most to the skirt hem. In this case one
should say end and not "ends.'' for this
sash has only one end-or panel, as it is
called-and within the loop at the bottom
Of the ribbon are small weights which
keep the panel in place and prevent its
fluttnring about. This sash is made of
white ribbon, lowered in pale blue, and
the puttOuS WHICH, hasten the smart little
straps at the waistline and end of the
panel are covered with pink satin. Blue
and pink are an eNtravagantly fashiona-
bic combination now for young girls
Urnr.
The set way in which the bow of this
SASH is arrange ~ very smart. All sash
bows are ade and not merely tied this
season. and sometimes instead Of bow
there is a round cabuchon with a cover
ed satin button set in a pIeating Of RIB
bon. Sometimes, also, cabuchons OF this
sort are placed on the ends Of the long
sash, or the two ends fall, one over the
other. and are caught together near the
bottom with cabuchon OF cluster Of
tiny rosebuds. One sees. too. loop o:
ribbon falling to the knees or below In
stead of two square or pointed ends. But
however used the sash is deliciously girl
ish, and should by all means be feature
of this years graduating dress.
The elaborate lingerie frock with which
the sash, above described is pictured is
made of embroidered null flounces joined
with val lace, the bodice being a most
intricate combination of lace and en-
broidery. which bespeaks the Paris origin
of this rather expensive graduating frock.
Usually about commencement time there
is class dance and the young graduate
ray have to wear the same costume on

crammed inside AS a matter Of fact.
the space inside most of these bags is
limited to small pocket at the top
which will hold ones handkerchief lit
tie coin purse, a fiat cardcase and per-
haps q vanity box. Below the pocket the
sides of the bag are fastened together
and handsome fringe or other trimming
weights the edge.
The reticule or corde1iere. as 1t Is some
times called may be square, oblong or
perfectly round in shape. Some OF these
bags are square at the top and taper to
a point at the bottom; and there are ir-
regular shapes like the stunning corde-
liere carried in the picture. Whatever
the cordeliere may be made of. In order
to possess true elegance, it must have a
touch Of gold-and the more gold the
handsomer and more costly the bag.

blue satin deliberately trimmed with gold

occasion of the dance. leaving the round
necked lace bodice with its short sleeves
and graceful bertha.
Another dainty class day frock or grad
uating frock for a little high school girl
Is the model of Quaker lace which shows
g. simple pattern embr oidered on net. As
pictured, this lace dress Is mounted over
rose pink silk and has a pink hat and
paraSol to match, but q white silk slip
and white sash ribbon would be equally
pretty and would be more suitable for
graduation wear.
Young girls of this tender age are quite
as lovely in simple and inexpensive cos
tunes of tucked lawn. but often the grad
uating dress has to serve as a party
dress for the ensuing season. or even as a
bridesmaid dress-aS was the case with
the lace model shown In the photograph.
The distinction Of the graduating cos
tune depends not entirely on the frock
itself. but on all the little belongings
which go to make up perfect toilet.
The girl graduate should wear white
slippers and stockings by all means, and,
II possible, the slippers should be Of satin
OF of kid and the stockings Of silk. for
this is a very great event and should be
suitably honored. Silk stockings cost so
little nowadays that few pennies more
than the price of fine Isle hose Will pay
for sheer pair of thread silk. OF course
the inexpensive white silk stockings Will
not last long as the sturd1er isle
thread, but, after all, what of it-a grad
uating day Is worth a little extravaganza.
This year there are fascinating white
satin pumps which are built with light
welted soles, so that they may be worn
generally all summer with light frocks.
They are not slippers with regulation
slipper soles, toes and French heels, but
real pumps with Cuban heels and smart
pump bows across the instep. They are
just the thing for the girl graduate.
Gloves are not an essential with the
more and more tendency among fashion
able women to dispense with gloves on
all indoor occasions, and at many of this
winters receptions the hostess appeared
with short sleeves and bare arms. Even
brides have taken a notion OF late to dis
pense with gloves. wearing long sleeves
which cover the wrist
1t goes without saying that the young
girl graduate should wear no Jewels
Even the cherished watch, which has
been received as a graduating present
from father or mother, will look much
better at home In Its case on commence
ment day than as an ornament worn with
the white frock The girls own rings, a
dainty brooch amid the laces of her bod
ice or perhaps a single string of pearls
this should be all the jewelry allowed. A
small fan attached to a fine chain or to
long white ribbon will prove grateful
addition to the costume IL the graduating
exercises are in June.
