WHEN women
GROW IMMODEST

The tendency of women to wear
abbreviated costumes is causing con-
siderable uneasiness in some of the
European countries. Recently, when
the king of Sweden visited Paris, he
attended a theatre at which nude
women appeared on the stage. His
indignation was so aroused that he left
the place without delay The affair
attracted much attention; and as
result the French government decided
that something should be done in the
way Of regulating the dress Of the
women of that country. A bill is now
before the French parliament stating
definitely just what the rules are to be
in the future. In the discussion in
that body, one senator declared that
the nude woman has become common
thing on the stage of France and that
immoral posters are everywhere to be
seen in Paris. He said further that
unless the present drift were curbed
in some way, social degeneracy and
decay, such as led to the downfall of
many of the nations of the past, is
inevitable.
England appears to take some
what different view of the matter. A
government department there has just
ruled that any sort of bathing suit
VIII be permitted at the beaches this
summer. This does not mean that
the British approve of questionable
costumes, but that in their opinion this
is a matter that should be regulated by
public opinion rather than by law.
Just what public opinion will or can
do to dissuade those women who wish
to appear in indecent costumes is not
clear; but it is interesting to observe
that Of the two nations, France seems
to be the one that is willing to handle
the matter by legal enactment.

SIMPLE DRESSES
ARE BEST FOR
GIRL GRADUATES

''The entire graduation outfit should
be one that the girl may wear to
church or for afternoon occasions dur
ing the summer. If the clothing is
made at home, the outlay for shoes,
hose, flowers, underwear and dress,
need not exceed $780," declares Miss
Gertrude Arbogast of the home eco
Monies department of the University
Of Wisconsin.
She offers these suggestions to girl
graduates:
"White is always the best for gradu-
alton purposes, although when the
girls agree on color, it is quite pos
sible, and very often the effect is quite
lovely if pale shades of pink, blue,
orchid, and yellow organdies are used.
'Organdie is youthful crisp mater
ial. Many of the shops are showing
it with small check, which may
please some tastes more than the
plain material.
Dotted Swiss is another material
which will be largely used this year
for graduation dresses. It has long
been a favorite material for special
occasions, and while it lacks the crisp
ness of organdie, it has an individual
beauty. It requires almost no trim
ming, the plain skirt with very wide
hem, from 10 to Is or even "a inches
in width looks very well.
'Tucks either in organdie or Swiss
are always. attractive, if we'll placed.
AS a general rule, the number of
tucks should be uneven, as three or
five, and the spaces between the tucks
should be narrower or wider than the
tucks, according to the judgment of
the maker of the dress.
"Both machine hemstitching and
picoting are attractive additions to
graduation dresses.
''Sashes add much to the dress and
may be of the same material with
the edges hemmed or picoted. Satin
and silk sashes, while not altogether
bad taste, are not so good A cotton
material generally speaking, should
not be combined with silk or satin
which are both more expensive and
pretentious.
'Ruffies used in moderation on an
organdie frock are sometimes very
good. There are many young girls,
however, whom ruffies and frills do
not become. The tall slender girl is
apt to look we'll in a ruf1ed dress, but
the short of stature child, or the tall
stoutly built girl should beware of
ruffies. Tucks and hemstitching are
better for the latter type-with a bit
of fine narrow Valenciennes lace.
''The neck Of the dress may be round
or square according to the shape of
the wearer's face. The girl with the
round face should wear a square neck,
and the thin faced child may be sure
that round neck in her dress will be
the most becoming kind.
"While French voile is beautiful
material, is not SO youthful nor cap
able of lending itself to the charm
and crispness that is much to be de-
sired in graduation frock, it seems
to belong more to the mature woman.
"Georgettes,- silks of any kind, satins
and crepe de chimes are unthinkable
and in very bad taste. This is the day
of all days when the girls personality
must not be obsecured by fnery."

ADJUSTMENTS
SHUBERT VAUDEVILLE

City and suburban residents of New
York have adopted Shubert Vaudeville
for their very own as evidenced by the
large number who are attending the
theaters devoted to this new class of
in New York, Brooklyn
and Newark There is a piquancy to
the new vaudeville that adds to the
zest of amusement goers and hun
dreds of people who have declared
themselves in the not distant past of
being tired of vaudeville" have
found themselves converted to Shu-
bert Vaudeville. This is due to the
fact that the Messrs. Shubert are not
only showing American headliners of
the greatest magnitude, but they have
secured Europe for new faces and
sensations, besides aiding performers
and giving them every encouragement
to promote new ideas of entertainment.
