RAISE MONEY WITH vIOLETs

One of the most successful affairs held in Bessemer in sometime was celebrated today, when large number of prominent matrons and pretty young ladies gathered on the street corners to sell punches of violets for the benefit of the public li- brary.
 The citizens responded most graciously and the day was most successful neat sum being realized from the sale of the flowers The public library. is badly in need of repairs and as the financial con- dition of the city did not warrant the expenditure the novel idea of selling violets on the streets was conceived by Mrs. w. T. Warlick, who has worked un- tiringly in this cause.
 The only two places in this city kept up by the city and civic organizations are the library and the city park, the latter furnishing the flowers sold today to raise funds to repair the former. This money will be used in painting and repapering, as well as having the floors vanished Much . of the success of library day is due tos the efforts of the women inter- ested in this movement and who were cOngra tulated on the novel idea

neck and the V are also liked. If one
wishes to be at the height of the mode,
the graduation frock must boast a
hoped petticoat. These are so softly
boned and so unobtrusive that the
frock loses none Of it's simplicity, but
gains in grace.
Shoes, Gloves and a Fan.
White kid pumps and white silk
stockings are dainty and carry out the
"all white" notion; black patent or
kid pumps and black stockings, how
ever, are in quite as good form. White
silk gloves, if any gloves are worn,
are better than kid, being cooler. A
small white fan may be carried, both
for use and ornament, for fans are
extremely dainty this summer. Feath-
ers are being used in the new fans.
There are small ostrich feather fans
and plain cock feather fans in white
and colors. The small spangled silk
fan is still favored. Any of these
make most acceptable gifts for the
graduate. Although the palmer the
hair is dressed the better, a bit of
tulle or a single comb may be worn,
and Colonial silver or rhinestone
buckle may adorn the pumps. Very
little jewelry, if any, is permissible;
a small brooch or tiny lavalliere is
quite enough.
Summer FrOcks of Organdy
Organdy is one of the most gener-
ally favored of materials for the sum-
mer frock, whether for graduation,
garden parties, or summer dances. 1t
comes in all the delicate pastel color
lngs now favored and is also pattern
ed with dainty conventionalized de-
signs, on white and colored grounds.
The plain and figured voiles are eff
fective also, and there are many at
tractive combinations of wolfe and tat
feta, organdy and taffeta, net and or
CANDY and the like.
1t is considered most Frenchy to
combine organdy and taffeta, or net
and taffeta. This is usually done in a
frock which one has no idea of send
ing to the laundry, although there are
at the moment taffetas and satins
which wash very we'll.
The first frock illustrated here is
jumper model adapted from one of
Poiret's designs. 1t is developed in
net and taffeta and is charmingly SIM
pie for the girl who wishes to make
her own frock for commencement.
In the second design is a particular
ly effective frock of plain and figured
wolfe. The figured material is white
with white mercerized ring. The
quaint neck line, pulled sleeves and
full skirt, make it very pleasing and
youthful frock, suitable for gradua-
ton exercises or summer parties.

End. Mr.. Seeley says: "The Sperma-

States Government will not only re-

contracts the opening in 10 days on

ceived the only award in England and

inspection. All charity cases without

not appeal to the average girl, with
her ideas of individuality, but the no
ton of making her own frock should
appeal to her, for this very reason,
that she may add little distinctive
touches which bring out her own per-
sonality.
Simplicity in Cut and Material
The very simplest, most useful
models are chosen for the June grad
uate. They are usually of organdy,
or one of the sheer cottons, very spar
ingly and simply trimmed. Crepe de
Chine or one of the very soft taffetas
or satins may also be used, if PREFER
ed, but the cottOns are more in vogue
and daintier.
Net, which is such a general favor
tie for the typical summer dress, is
quite as well liked for the graduation
dress and proves extremely practical.
White cotton net, combined with taf-
feta, wolfe or organdy, fashions the
daintiest of graduation frocks; one
which may be worn later for summer
afternoons or the dance.
Skirts are short, sleeves range from
the short puff, so charmingly in keep
ing with bouffant skirts of the mo-
ment, to the three-quarter or full
length sleeve of organdy, net, Georg-
cite or chiffon. Round necks are par
ticularly modish, although the square
