all wearing apparel the inexpensive
frock for the sweet girl graduate

are the very elaborate silks and sat
ms and lace trimmed gowns the ac-
copied thing for the graduation gown.
The day IS passed when one buys
outlandish, ornate frocks only to
wear them once and then put them
away in lavender forever. The mod
ern girl buys her clothes to wear
many times on many occasions, M d
so they must of necessity be OF good
style, conservative and practical.
Here is very neat and simple
style which is also rather economic
cal, for 1t combines two materials,
plain and embroidered wolfe. The em-
broidered wolfe fashions the full short
tunic and trims the sleeves and
blouse. The plain voile forms the
rest of the frock. There are deep
folds of the plain material on the
skirt, giving the effect OF three

band on the blouse and on TIE loose
bell sleeves. A dainty lace trimmed
collar, crocheted buttons and a soft
satin sash nf narrow ribbon form
the trimming touches and add the
necessary features for a festive oc-
casion such as June graduation.
