Peculiar Accident To
Coffey's Automobile

Mrs. John H. Coffey had a pecul-
lar car accident last Wednesday
shortly after she had returned
from the Volt field meet. When
she went to drive her car into the
garage near the Coffey residence
a few PAGES in front of the gar
age entrance, the front part of
the car started to sink into the
ground. Mrs. Coffey says it is a
terrifying sensation to feel ones
car sinking into the ground in
that fashion. However the rear
wheels staying on solid ground.
An investigation proved that an
old well had once occupied the
ground in front of the garage and
the cover built over it when it was
no longer used had rotted and
been partly washed out by the re
cent rains and when the weight
of the car was on it Wednesday
evening what was left of the cover
broke letting the front wheels of

FOR STRAIGHTFORWARD AFTER
FROCK SHOULD BE DAINTY BUT PLAIN-HANDWORK WOULD LEND
APPROPRIATE TOUCH TO THE COSTUME
BY HARRIET

AND after graduation-what?
n That is a question that
should be asked about the future
use of a graduation dress before
it is planned.
OF course its primary purpose
is to enhance the beauty of the
sweet girl graduate at the moment
when she gets her diploma.
But, conforming to the trend
of this practical age. the gradua-
ton dress is expected to function
again later on as a becoming
sports model, an evening toilette
or an afternoon tea frock.
Simpler the Better
The simpler and more unso-
phisticated a graduation dress this
season the better. Materials used
for this important dress are crepe
Roma, ~georgette, organdy, batiste
and chiffon.
OF course they are all white
and minus the lace and fuSsy fur
bellows that mark many of this
summers clothes. For the gradu-
alton frock is designed to increase
the modest and innocent appear
ance of the young girl who wears
it.
Trimmings are of self material,
III the form of tucked inserts,
Misunderstanding, appliqued pat
terms and striped effects secured
By the use of contrasting mate
rials.
Nothing is lovelier nor more APP
propriate trimming than a little
hand work, put lovingly into the
graduation frock by a mothers
needle.
Both the one-piece dress, of
Youthful silhouette. and the two
n.eee sports model are in style
