 Organdy, baptiste, lawn, and net are sall equally appropriate for the |fgraduation dress and they may be 8had in different qualities and prices.
 For immediate selection is the |sdress already made and awaiting ap- !provals noted one girlish affair of Isheer, white organdy with bands of met and double net ruchings, adding }that desired flnffiness. Another twhite organdy edged it's fischu and {short sleeves with tiny pecot-ruffles,, Ithe same ruffles giving bouffant ieffcct to the skirt.

 And such a variety of delightful Efrccks for Baccalaureate Sunday and class day, combining the new colors and designs of today with the full quaint-skirted modes of long ago.
 Party Dresses.
 Especially attractive was an or gandy of sunset hue with insets of white embroidered organdy and a touch of turquoise pccot ribbon about the waist line. Another blue or gandy with trim of the new spoke" homestitching and pin tucks was of ldistinctive charm.

 In footwear, there are the soft est of white kid pumps with baby Louis heels, and the white rhein skin pumps with low heels. The sport oxfords come in canvas and buck and canvas and buck combina- ticns.
 The heavy white silk hose with pointex heel seems more appropriate than the fancy effects.
 As for the boy-well if he doesn't bloom forth in new happy combna- tions it isn't the fault of the shops, for they are offering him choice line of styles and colors. In shirts and ties. And his graduation suit and party Tuxedo are awaiting his early inspection.
 Gifts for Graduates.
 And now for the little gifts that are to add so much to this, the first big event of their lives.
 A gift that gives true reason for it's being, has a subtle sense of fit ness and brings beauty into person al use, for either boy or girl is the watch, be it in the form of dain- ty arm-bracelet or a real mans de- pendable time keeper.
 The fountain pen and ever sharp pencils have place all their own and in choosing one of these we cannot go for wrong.
 Of especial interest to our girls, with their short sleeves, arc the new bracelets. An all jet one is quite effective. A coiled snake of jade with rhinestone eyes shows the Egyptian influence.
 The rain-shine umbrellas are as attractive as they are practical. Quite the newest thing noticed was one in mulberry shade with leather crop-handle.
 There is such a collection of ap- propriate gifts awaiting their right full owners, such as pearl necklaces, jade necklaces, vamp-combs and mesh-bags. A long narrow green gold mesh bag with amethyst clasp noted for it's distinctiveness.
 The French woven beaded Santoir necklaces and bags are wonderful. We must not loose sight of the fact that in very few months our gradu- ates will be hieing away to colleges and universities and travelling com forts will be quite necessary.

WOMEN OF NORTH
 CAROLINA CERTAIN
 OF BALLOT VICTORY
Special Session in July is Elk,
 pected to Pass Meas ure

Wilmington, N. C., May 8.-Action of the North Carolina Democratic State convention recently in adopting a plank for ratification of the wo- man suffrage amendment in it's plat form of principles will be followed by special session of the Legisla- ture about July 1, and suffrage lead CTS already are at wolk in the State to create sentiment to force the adop tion of the amendment at that ses- sion.
 Louisiana is the only remaining State that will hold session of the Legislature before North Carolina but suffrage leaders say no matter what action is taken in Louisiana, it will have no effect on the fight for ratification in North Carolina. If Louisiana were to act favorably on the amendment it would make the coveted thirty-sixth state, but on account of some uncertainty over the ratification by the Ohio Legislature, because of a referendum involved, suffrage advocates are anxious to have 37 states ratify the amendment.
 Opinion is divided as to what ac :tion the North Carolina Legislature will take. In view of the fact that both political parties in the State have adopted platforms including blanks favoring suffrage, many party leaders believe the amendment will be ratified. Besides Governor Thom- as w. Bickett, many Democratic party leaders in the State have come out for the amendment, includingn Sec retary Daniels, Senator Simmons and Congressman Hoey. The Legislature is overwhelmingly Democratic.
 Opponents Still Confident.
 Opponents of suffrage believe the amendment will either be defeated by the Legislature or by the voters of the State. They think the Legis- lature will follow Senator Overman's idea, proposing State constitution |al amendment, giving women the right to vote, thus putting the sui frage question up to the voters, who, they believe, will reject it. Opponents of suffrage in the party are not ap- parently so much antagonistic to women voting as they are to the fact of the change coming through Fed eral action, rather than by action of the State. They hold the former to be an invasion of states rights and an usurpation of authority over the States by the Federal Government. A flying squadron from the na- tional organization of women voters already has invaded North Carolina for the purpose of organizing the State for the impending fight. Among those assigned to this wrok are Miss Lola Carson Trax of Baltimore field councillor of the national associa- tion, and Miss Gertrude Veil, presi- dent of the Equal Suffrage Associa- tion of North Sarolina. There wom- en are now conducting a campaign through Eastern North Carolina out Iof Wilmington.
 The New Hanover Ratification Committee already has been organ ized and resolutions adopted calling upon the Legislature to adopt the suffrage amendment at the special session this summer, and inviting all sitizens to rally to the support all citizens to rally to the support

Would End Gaming
 in Silk Market

Tokio, May 4.-Charles Cheney, president of the Slk-Association of America, now heading the American Silk Mission to Japan, in an inter- view here, said it was the desire of both Japanese and American silk in- terests to reduce "gambling" on the Tokio Silk Exchange as violent fluc- tuations were equally detrimental to the producer, manufacturer and con sumer. Another object of his mis- sion is to standardize the classifi cation of raw silk, subject which, in the past, had lead to many diff culties. He has been visiting the principal Japanese silk centers and will go to China via Manila and Hong Kong.

Although most Greek girls are naturally very pretty, they begin to paint and powder from a very early age-the cheeks bright red, the eye brows and lashes deepest black, and veins delicately blue. The result is that they are withered old women at forty, and thus nowhere are uglier females to be found than beneath the blue skies of this classic land.
