whose debut is to follow her gradua-
ton very shortly. other suitable gifts
for graduation time are silk stockings,
silk petticoats and camisoles. bottles Of
perfume daintily put up, photograph
frames and framed pictures for the
girls room. Dearest to girlhood just
now are the stately swinging photo
graph frames, the panel for the picture
suspended within a standard of light
wood.
If books are given, they should be
standard works that will form the
nucleus of future library--when the
girl graduate begins to take a serious
interest in literary matters-and not
copies of modern fiction which will
soon be read and forgotten. And what
ever YOU give the little girl graduate,
remember that your present is not sup
posed to take the place OF commence
ment day flowers! OF those she must
have plenty-roses, mignonotte,
sweet peas-she must be loaded with
them, in baskets and in graceful
bouquets, if her graduation occasion
is to be full and brimming over with
bliss.

is white MORE ribbon, tied in bow
and streamers at the back and a white
gardenia and bud are thrust into the
front of the belt, where the collar
ends. Another commencement frock
for sweet-siXteen is replete with the
dignity that appeals to the serious miss
taking her diploma. This frock is OF
soft white taffeta and has a knee
length tunic, and over the tunic are
draped side panels of white Georgette,
edged with knife-pleated rutIles. The
sleeves match the side panels in ma
terial and style; the fichu collar, how
ever, is of the taffeta though its trim
ming frill is Georgette.

When commencement Ends in a
Dance

The enchanting dance frock is not
for the dignifed moment of diploma
receiving; but for the commencement
dance which follows. The whole skirt
of white silk net is covered with flut-
terry net frills and underneath is a
white satin skirt, the bodice of white
satin having deep bertha of frilled
net which acts as a short sleeve. White
violets are caught here and there
against the net frills and the sash of
many lengths of narrow white satin
ribbon has white violets on the ribbon
ends

 PUZZLING NEW YORK

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 4-Ohio to- day is voting on four phases of the prohibition question, the results of which, opposing leaders say, will have a decided bearing upon the prohibit ton question throughout the na- ton.
 On one question, voters will express their sentiment on national prohibi- uon. This will be done indirectly by voting upon the action of the state legislature in ratifying the federal prohibition amendment. Ohio is the first state in the Union where the federal prohibition has been placed directly before the voters.
 Statewide prohibition also is again before the voters, on questions of re- pealing the prohibition amendment adopted year ago by a majority of more than 25,000 and legalizing the manufacture and sale of liquors con- tadning less than two and three fourths per cent. alcohol. Such Iiquors would be classed as non-intoxicating

This morning, taxicab driver named E. Kline, of South Norwalk, reported to the police that Kizer had summoned him to the raincoat fac tory yesterday afternoon and re- Quested to be taken to Stamford. The clerk explained that his brother had been shot in a gambling raid in that town, and he wanted to see the in jured man as soon as possible
 When the automobile reached Stamford, Kizer told Kline that he had changed his mind about seeing his brother, and wanted to proceed to New York. The driver then took the man to New York city, and Kizer left the machine at 18th street He gave Kline a S20 bill in payment for his services.
 Kizer is said to be about 25 years old, and was employed by the Victor Raincoat Co. for only a few months. It is reported that he has a wife liv- ing in Waterbury. While it is prac- tically certain that the man is now in New York city. local police are in- clined to believe that he will be ap- prehended within a very short time.
