FOR THE GRADUATION DRESS
AII-White Seems Always the Most
Appropriate, Though CoIors May
Be Worn If Glass Desires.

Apart from the traditions which
clothe maidenhood in white, the sym
Dol Of purity and grace, there is deli
cate, girlish charm in allwhite which
makes it more fitting than colors.
Sheer white washable fabrics are
more dainty and appropriate for a
graduation dress than silk, satin or
net Often the question Of the ma
terial to be worn is decided by vote.
as the general effect is much better
when the entire class is gowned in
the same material, even though the
designs and trimmings may vary.
There is a fancy at present for go
ing gloveless at indoor functions re-
quiring a short-sleeved gown. 1t is
a pretty as well as economical fash
ion, and one which may be followed at
graduation exercises as well as other
formal occasions.
1t is not necessary to wear white
slippers and stockings at graduation,
Black are quite as appropriate and as
much worn as white.

Lace Guinness.

Very pretty and smart little guimpes
may be made of leftover lace by join
ing it at the center front in a seam
and covering the seam with tiny but
tons or the pierced imitation jewels
which may be bought at the bead
counter in most large shops These
little jewels of paste, in white or col
ors, in coral or turquoise effect, are
chosen to match ones gown. II the
guimpe is to be used with several
gowns the rhinestone beads will be the
best. The guimpes of tucked net are
the smartest. They have much the
effect of a mans dress-shirt bosom.
Low collar guimpes are made open
in a shallow V at the front, with rolled
collar which extends over the collar
or edge of the waist. Though they
give a decided negligee appearance
to the wearer, they are worn on many
occasions.

NEW IDEA FOR DINING TABLE
Runners Are Largely Taking the
Place Of the Round Centerpiece
and the Luncheon Cloth.

Many housewives are discarding
round centerpieces or luncheon cloth
when dressing the dining table, and
are substituting two table runners.
These harmonic with the straight
lines Of the furniture. so popular at
present. For summer dining rooms
and verandas there is nothing so ar
tistic as the long, graceful table run
ners
Tan and white linen are used for
the runners and the ends are hem
stitched, and above this is embroider-
ed a design in satin or cross-stitch.
Measure the width of your table
and allow from IL to ii inches more
to hang down at each side when cut
ting the linen. After stitching the
hem transfer the design above it.
Cross-stitch is effective on coarse
linen, and a pretty border shows bas-
kets of forget-me-nots. Three bas-
ket motifs are arranged on each end,
and the basket portion is done with
green and yellow mercerized cotton.
The flowers are worked with pale
pink in the padded satin stitch, and
the leaves are green. Connecting each
basket is a festoon of ribbon, which
should be worked in the padded satin
stitch Pale pink is the color used for
the ribbon, and a yellow French knot
forms the center of each floweret
When working the cross-stitch great
care should be observed to keep the
upper threads running in the same
direction.
Table runners of dark brown ramie
linen or pongee are a tavorite cover
ing for the living room or library
table, with embroidered ends done in
rich, vivid colors.

The range of fishes In the sea Is as
though 1t were divided into layers, one

above or below his layer. Thus many
of the deeper fish-three-quarters OF

found floating at the top; they had
