The Graduates.

MdrShallt0Wn IlmeS-Republlcdn
First, there is the girl graduate with
parents who are loving and able and
willing to spend considerable sum
to help make the occasion memo.-
and development of the little girl
from her cradle up to the present
time. And many are the heartaches
and silent. little cries that mother has
had all by herself as she has silently
made preparation for the coming
event. Father hasn't said much about
it; he hasn't had time. Occasionally
when he and mother have been alone
and she has mentioned the subject
he has felt strange lump in his
throat but he has choked it down
and given his assent to mothers
plans. He will sign his name to the
checks, and let mother put in the fig
ures. Nothing is too good for their
girl. They know that this graduation
lis but another step toward the inevi-
table day when the old home will be
just as still all the time as it is when
the children are all in school
But other fathers and mothers have
mfde q hard struggle to keep their
little girl in school and clothe her ia
a decent and comfortable way, Some
times mother has denied herself per-
haps the necessary food, always of
clothes, in order that her daughter
might not be made ashamed before
I her mates. There is the same senti-
ment of love in the hearts of these
parents as in the other case. Father
would write his name to check for
ANY amount--if he Lad the bank &C.
count But he hasn't the account No
matter why he does not have tit is
not theory but condition that
confronts him and mother. With the
light and the opportunity which they
have had, they have probably done
the best they could
TO these the struggle TO keep Mar
in school has been harder. Now
comes the graduation with its d.
mand for expensive dresses and 9th
er incidentals which, ii she is 10 keep
up with the pace, she must have.
There will be girls in the class whose
graduation paraphernalia will cost
more than the entire value of the
household effects of Mary's parents.
What is to be done in this case? in
some cases Mary will be provided
with the best possible and she will
go through with the class, accepting
such humiliation as she meets and
living on the hope OF seeing better
days. Not infrequently Mary tells the
superintendent that she has conclud-
ed not to graduate. Pressed for rea-
sons, she will give every one save
the right one
These graduating embarrassment
ought to be avoided; they can be
avoided Just as well as not. Wealthy
people or those with means do not
spend their money on their children
iat these times purposeIy to embarrass
Others not many OF them. They do
lit because they love their children
and without thinking of how they
may be hurting others School boards
ought TO suggest uniform for the
graduates Just neat inexpensive
gown. If the board requested it, none
would disregard. There would be no
rivalry and no anguish of hearts in
1.-The homes or among the graduates.
Parents who chose TO do so could
spend all the money they desire on
T their children in other ways. Gradus-
ton day ought to be a happy one for
all concerned

FATHER.


lie had never made fortune, or a
noise
In the world where men are seeking
after fame.
But he had a healthy brood of girls
and boys,
WHO loved the very ground on
which he trod
They thought him just little short
of God;
Oh, you should have heard the way
they said his name
Father
There seemed to be tender little
prayer
In their voices, even when they
called him Dad
Though the man was never heard of
anywhere,
AS hero, yet you somehow under
stood
He was doing wellhis part, and max
ing good;
Or saying Father
He gave them neither eminence nor
wealth,
But he gave them blood unlimited
with vice;
And the opulence of undiluted health;
He was honest, and unpurchaseable,
and kind;
He was clean in heart and body, and
in mind
So he made them heirs to riches
beyond price
This Father.
He never preached nor scolded; and
the rod
Well he used it as a turning pole
i'll play;
But he showed the tender sympathy
Of God
TO his children in their troubles
and their joys.
He was always chum and comrade
with his boys;
And his daughters oh, you ought
to hear them say,
Father"
Now OF all the worlds achievements.
It's the least
To perpetuate the species; it is
done
BY the insect and the serpent, and
the beast,
But the man who keeps his habits
and his thought
Worth bestowing on his offspring,
love begot,
Then the highest earthly glory he
has won
When he hears loving daughter or
son,
Say, Father"

Gray is perhaps the smartest and
most distinguished color of the sea-
son, the shades ranging all the way
from the tremendously popular mole
or taupe to the light smoky and sill
very tones. However, not every one
will find these neutral shades becom-
ing. A gray frocK must be cleverly
made if it is to have distinction.
Plaids are again in vogue and they
are shown in the new models in very
pretty combinations with plain fab
RIGS. Some of the new satins are
showing one-half or two-thirds of
their width in black and the remain

for bordering or for portions of a

Purple is much in evidence this
season, and when one says that it is
frequently combined with red one
nmay give an idea of something WV
idly startling. It must be understood,
however, that the favorite purple is
a very deep reddish tone, like the
darkest shadings of big single Cali
fornia violets, and that the red so
often used with it is a lovely fruity
red on the fuscsia or berry tone. The
two are charming together, the red
being usually softened by yelling in
purple chiffon or net There are de-
lightful combinations also of purple
and gold, which hold no hint of the
spectacular.

New York, Oct 1 The tailored
frock of today is in many respects en-
tirely different from the tailored
frock of last spring. The absolutely

ter skirt of the present day, of silk
cashmere, or fine vale serge in taupe.
sage green or slate blue has no Wis
IDLE opening and its normally placed
belt is attached to blouse of taffeta
striped, in two tones and trimmed
with a shoulder collar of the same
material as the skirt The sewed-in
conventionally shaped sleeves are alb
solutely plain, fit closely about the
wrists and cover almost half of the
hands; they are an excellent type of
the sleeve to be generally worn in
the very near future
Often it is the girdle which fur
nishes smartness to the mid-autumn
tailored frock of cashmere or serge.
Obviously the band defining the nor
mally, placed waist line and conceal
ing the left side placket, cannot
match: either blouse Or skirt, as it
would then be merged with one or
the other nor could it be of velvet,
because to wear that material in the
morning is bad form, but Hercules or
any other fancy silk braid perfectly
solves the question of the girdle for
the .befCre-luncheon or travelling one
piece tailormade, and a strip of it,
four inches wide by three yards long
is sufficient to swathe the waist and
make even two even ends falling
straight to the left knee
The use of silken and Worsted fab
RIGS in tailormades for mid-autumn
is rapidly, gaining ground, for the
fashionable woman is tired of being
quoted as of "mannish" appearance.
Charmeuse, messaline and meteor are
used in these suits. These costumes
are charming because they are so dis
tinctly feminine in character. Their
silken underskirts nearly always are
bordered with ruffle or a putting,
and rustic ever SO softly with the
wearer's movements; the tunics are
gracefully draped and the jaunty lit
tie coats fit closely enough to prove
that the craze to attain the stove-pipe
silhouette has not robbed the fair
sex of it's characteristic curves.
With these tailored costumes pet
ticoats are" tabooed Even ruffle-
less petticoat-of softest satin is not
to be tolerated, for it must terminate
somewhere between the knees and
ankles, and wherever it ends a line
will mar the smooothnesss of the
skirts above it. Tights solve the
problem and every woman wearing
these tailored costumes needs two
sets of tights. The first set, coming
in contact with the skin,z may be of
cotton, Isle or lambs. wool, but the
outer set of tights must be a glove
