over the hips and to give something
of a hustle effect ard this skirt is
narrow at the feet and finished with
a double ruching of the silk. The
bodice is of the chiffon with silk ruches
edging the neck and sleeves and is
made in the delightfully."- simple.
girlish style that is known as the
peasant waist, being simply soft and
full and cut in one piece with the
sleeves. At the waist, there is a wide p
girdle of the taffeta and there is tucked
into this girdle a bunch Of artificial
daisies. Afternoon gowns are so
uniformly made with half low necks
that the graduation frocks are excep-
tionally pretty this year and excep-
tionally dainty in effect. This one Of
taffeta makes a good example and
there are others again Of net and Of
simple lace and Of crepe de .hirc and
often of one material combired with
another. Crepe seems especially well
liked for the long tunics and very
beautiful gown is made with narrow
plain skirt over which is a long box
plated tunic while the bodice is COM
bined with soft shadow lace.
For general summer wear. hand
kerchief linen is being much exploited
and crepe de chine is made up into
gowns Of all possible sorts. One of the
prettiest of the white linen gowns
that has been seen is made with a
plain skirt opened at the front and
finished with rather wide hem above
which is fold of equal width, and
both tn, hem and the fold are finished
at the upper edges with hem-stitching.
There is long accordion plated tunic,
the edges of which are scalloped and
bound, and this tunic as well as the
skirt opens at the front while it is
effectively trimmed at its edges with
crocheted buttons. The bodice is
made with the fashionable straight
shoulder yoke below which it is laid
in tiny pin tucks and it is finished
- with the long sleeves that are the
latest cry from Paris and with a soft
rolling collar that is scalloped to match
the tunic. All sorts of piaitings are to
be used. Accordion plaits, narrow
fat plaits, small box plaits and bound
edges are greatly liked. Undoubtedly
VIC shall see great deal Of white worn

.FADS AND
.FANCIES OF
FASHION
HERE is something in the warmth

'HERE is something in the warmth
of the sunshine that brings the
thought of summer costumes
persistently to the mind. That fact
together with the graduation season
means somewhat unusual display of
attractive white costumes, both those
that are adapted to the special func-
tions of the time and those that will
be available throughout the summer.
An exceedingly interesting item Of
news and one that is SIRE to be well
come is the fact that organdie is being
extensively used. 1t always was and
always will be one of the daintiest and
loveliest fabrics made but it has,
nevertheless, been disregarded by
fashion for period of time and. while
its revival does not enhance its beauty,
it means that that beauty may be en-
joyed to the full. As a matter Of
course, other fabrics are used. The
fine crepes and voiles retain their favor.
White taffeta is being made into the
most fascinating costumes, crtpe de
chine is a pror rounced favorite and as
the summer will see every kind of lace
used. graduation costumes show the
material in its simpler forms as well.
Lace, indeed, promises to be almost
a craze and lace iouncirg, lacc frills
and lace garnitures of all sorts are
met. As a matter of course, hand
some lace always gives a rich and
elaborate effect and lace costumes are
many, but perhaps one of the most
notable features of the organdies and
the like is the simplicity of treatment.
A really fascinating graduation gown
is made of fine white organdie, the
entire skirt succession Of overlapping
6ounoes, there being eight in all and
of graduated width. Each of the
founces is edged with narrow white
ribbon. Otherwise the skirt is un-
trimmed. The bodice is made with
soft surplice fronts, dropping shoul-
ders and beruffled elbow sleeves, and
there is high Medici collar, but the
finish Of ribbon on all the edges is the
only trimming to be found. In spite
Of the fact that lace is such a pro-
nounced favorite for entire gowns and
for founces, it is little used upon
organdie and either such ribbon finish
as the one mentioned or hand en-
broidery is preferred for the gradua-
ton costumes at least, although
Valenciennes lac. which always seems
to belong to lingerie materials by
natural selection is allowed. A very
lovely gown, for example, is made with
narrow under skirt Of organdie over
which are two shaped tunics, one Of
Valenciennes lace and ore of organdie.
while the bodice combines the two
materials.
Taffeta Of the soft, supple kind
makes lovely gowns both for school
and college functions and for general
summer wear. A charming one
adapted to both uses combines it with
chiffon and consists of a skirt Of the
six that Is daped to form soft folds

questionably make a really important

since we have been so feminine. and it
/ is a real luxury to be as befrilled and

Such a wonderful variety of tunics
too, are to be found, and such delight
fully quaint and picturesque effects as
are obtained from the contracts Of
colors as well as of materials. In many
of the latest costumes there is to be
found what might be called success
sion of tunics or overskirts, and in
others again f1ounced skirts are to be
seen, while side by side with such effects
we meet the trimmest kind of coat
suits and separate wraps of such prac-
tical sort that they are the
delight Of the motor enthu-
siast and the woman who
travels the season through.
What is known as the Bal
macaan coat is in the height
of style and will do service
throughout the season. 1t is
so loose and ample that it
will not crush the daintiest
gown and is genuinely pro-
tective, while its smartness is
unquestioned.
Frills and ruffles are alway,
essentially youthful in effect, J

trimming is used in their
making, and ribbons play an
important part, and We all

A Correctly Marked Ballot.

Lest we forget since the last election,
or become confused through the differ
ent form of ballot used in the primary
election, let's consider again how We are
to mark our ballots at the state election
next Monday.
First, make cross in the square at the
head of the column bearing your party
name. Make only that one CROSS. If
you wish to vote straight ticket, that is
all you have to do.
II you wish to split your ticket, all the
changes must be made In the column
under the square whore You have made
your cross. You may erase with your
pencil the name of any candidate, and In
the blank space underneath write In
another name or attach sticker there.
Or you may paste the sticker directly
over the printed name. The safest way
is to scratch of the printed name with
your pencil first.
Bear In mind that you can not with
this form OF ballot mark names here and
there In the several columns, but must
do oil your voting In ono column.
Two things 1t 10 important that you
remember:
Whether you vote straight or split
ticket, make your cross first Then you
won't be in any danger Of forgetting 1t.
DON'T make but ono cross.

A Trio on the New Lake.

On trip up the new lake the old resi-.
dent is impressed by the difference it
has made in the beautiful scenery that
once was the greatest attraction to the
lovers of nature on the Magalloway OF
which one of its native poets once
wrote:
81 sing to thee, o murmuring stream,
That sang to me through youths glad morn
And wove thy music through the dream
That haunts the vale where was born.
Singing. ringing, Hghtls springtng
Ger each barrier In thy way,
Breaking into laughing spray,
Flinging rainbows 10 thy play.
Broadly flowing. gladly going
Ever onward night and day."
All this is now gone and the new lake,
whichever it may have been christie ned,
Sawyer or Aziscoos, It is In reality, the
sepulcbre of that once lovely stream :
"wild nursling of the Northland"-the
Magalloway, and a sacrifi fee to the ruth.
