Gifts for the Sweet
Girl Graduate
Standing with reluctant feet
Where the brook and river meet" :"


The sweet girl graduate is here again.
And during the first few weeks in juno
in every city. town and hamlet from the
gulf TO Canada. end from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, she is sharing the honors of
the season with the brides. She is re-
ceiving almost as beautiful gifts as her
older sister who is going to be married.
The shops here in Great Falls have by
no means been unmindful of her, and
many lavish window displays have been
devoted to her Really the things dis
played as suggestions for graduation
gifts are charming. and seem so express
sive of a young girl For a very nice
gift from father and mother or grand
father and grandmother, a string of
pearls would be lovely gift. Have you
noticed the wonderful display Of pearl!
dow in the city: Surely nothing could
be nicer for q commencement gift. The
pearls seem so expressive of all that
we idealize the girl graduate as being.
There are long strings and short: strings
of large pearls or small pearls as one
may desire.
Any of the girls would be delighted to
possess one of the smart new bracelets
which arc coming into style again. There
are green ones that coil three times
around the wrist in a serDentlne man
per. and there are black shiny ones that
coil twice around the wrist. then there
arc dainty little silver ones-some of
them jcweled.
Another pretty gift would he set of
rhinstore buckles for her pumps. Then
there are the lovely little jeweIed combs
and hairpins. The tiny enameled coin
purses on a chain and ring seem to have
been designed especially for commence
ment gifts They come in all colors
and variety Of shapes.
Another most acceptable gift for a
girl would be- one of those lovely over
night bags equipped with all the modern
toilet furnishings. and space enough for
nightie, kimona- and slippers. There
are also overnight bags less expensive.
that have merely the pockets for the
toilet articles.
One Of the swagger stubhv umbrellas
in blue. brown. green or red silk with a
smart leather handle that slips over the
wrist is another suggestion for a gradu-
alton gift
Then. of course. one must not forget
the graduation books and memory books
that all the girls are filling with little
keepsakes and remcmbraIces of this
very happy season They ere TO be had
leather bound or cloth bourd. aud beau
tifully arranged.
Speaking of leather. for small remem-
brances nothing could be nicer than the
little fooled leather card cases and memo
pad folders found in the art departments
Other pretty small novelties that make
charming gifts for girls are the white
enameled wooden candleshcks with
square bases and dainty little floral de-
signs painted on them. One or two for
the little lady's desk or dressing table
would be lovely. They again are among
the gifts so especially suitable for the
jeune file. Then there are wonderful
asscrtments Of fancy candles TO lie had.
n ho oh
rolcyrome candles. the medallion can
dies. and just all sorts Of candles.
Other tiny gifts are the beautiful dor
Inc boxes covered with hand enbroid-
cred Japanese brocade. Any girl would
be proud to have one to slip into her
bag. There are the little round ones
for powder and the oval ones with two
compartments. one for powder and the
other for rouge.
Dainty little rosebuds Of lace and rib
bon are made up for trimmings for
camisoies. A set Of these in q pretty
white box would make a sweet remem-
brancc.
Then. of course. no girl can resist the :
delights Of dainty lingerie. and there are
such beautiful chemiscs of flesh colored
crepe de chin and At really reasonable
prices too.
Silk stockings have alwaTs been one
Of the standard gifts for girls when one
didn't know what else TO give. and this !
year there are the wonderful co5webby |
things OF lace. A pair Of lace stockings |
would be delightful gift
Then as a last resort when one is at |
n loss for the right gift. there are hand |
lerchiefs Someone has aptly said /
When in doubt. give handkerchiefs !" |
The handkerchiefs OF this season are as
varied and as brilliant fif one choosest /
as Joseph's coat of many colors. There |
are smart ones with deep colored bor- |
ders There are even lace trimmed ones /
and there are always the sheer linen |
ones with the bit OF exquisite hand en-
broidery on them. Handkerchiefs, sing /
ly. in pairs. in threes, in half dozens and |

gift
