I. a dainty pink combination to en-

9. 4 quaint little frock for very
little girl; cost s1.:5.
3. Everyday rose spray dishes for the
bride.
4. Unusual graduation cards.
LNoR those of us who love hand-em-
L broidered underwear, and yet look
longingly at the dainty pink lingerie
that is so alluring. there Is a solution,
which will enable us to have both--to-
gether. ] saw a little combination suit
today of pale pink nainsook. and OF
sheerest softest quality. Around the
top is stamped a simple design to be
embroidered and I thought. thought
how nice this would look under my pale
pink georgette blouse, were l to en-
broider the flowers in blue or pink, or
even lavender, in pastel shades, with
yellow centers and leaves of delicate
green. And | was delighted to find that
the cost of this combination Is only

One of the most durable dresses I
have seen for long time for little
girl is of white striped madras with tiny
white turnover collar edged with pale
blue Long pale blue pockets give a
very smart touch. and the white belt
across the back gives that high waist
effect which is so quaint and sweet for
the little folks. Not only is this SER
vieeable play dress, but II also Is just
the thing to put on your little lady when
you wash and dress her for the AFTER
noon, The price is $l,25.
II seems like shame to use ones best
dishes every meal and every day, par
ticuIarly if few of the family are at
home for luncheon. 1t is an excellent
idea to have an every day set" One
of the shops is displaying a set of forty
two pieces, American china. with a
spray border. This would make very
practical every day set. and would be
particularly serviceable for the summer
cottage. The price for the forty-two
pieces Is IS.
Do you know sweet girl graduate
this year, whom you would like to re-

you do not plan to send gift? Maybe
she is the daughter OF an old friend of
yours, and you want TO send her some

been designed for this purpose, and for

1t explained that the service the part Of
the operators, the length Of time and an equal
general use of telephone equipment necessary to
answer such questions required to complete an
ordinary connection.
While the response this request has been very graft
flying and the volume of such calls has decreased appre-

Therefore, again bring the the attention
of those of the service who did read, who
not impressed by earlier appeal urging them
