A NTICIPATION of the first real
~ graduation is one Of the big
~ gest thrills of the girl in her
4 \ teens, and there is apt to be
as much excitement about the
graduation and class-night frocks as
about the results of the final exams;
all OF which means that there Is going
to be some hustling around to get
these very particular young ladies
ready for the coming events.
1t is quite generally accepted now
that a girl graduating from high
school should dress simply, without
fuSsy furbelows. in white frock OF
crepe. sheer. cotton or linen, made
on rather tailored or casual lines,
either a short-sleeved shirtwaist frock.
or a dress with jacket, such as one
would wear for the street, being con-
sidered most acceptable. Among
such dresses there is quite range Of
prices with perhaps those at around
S6, So and $11 the most popular.
Such q dress can be worn all Sum-
mer and is therefore a much better
investment than more elaborate
one that would have to await party
occasions.
THE two frocks sketched are typical
graduation dresses, one Of silk
crepe trimmed with lattice work made
OF strips of the crepe, which has nice
little puff sleeves on the dress as well
as the jacket The inverted pleat at
the back of the jacket, left free to
swing out from yoke depth, Is very
smart and new. and particularly
youthful. The other frock OF white
sheer also has its removable jacket,
and has very soft, graceful lines
which are excellent for the girl who
is a little too slender.
Another lovely jacket frock has a
collar and bosom front Of corded silk
used in a loop design, and the same
attractive back pleat detail on the
coat.
One Washington shop felt that
there were enough persons interested
in the sweet girl graduate to stage q
fashion show just for her This
proved to be q very charming affair
with attractive young manneQuins
carrying diplomas in the first half
Of the program, and the second part
devoted to class night and prom
frocks. Here was shown the great
est variety Of dresses suitable for
graduation, and many Of them were
most informal and quite inexpensive.
THE class night frocks were per-
fectly adorable in white and
pastel organdies and mousselines for
the most part. wide at the shoulders
and full around the bottom. fresh,
crisp and dainty as you could wish
for. Shirtwaist collars and big puff
sleeves predominated, although some
more sophisticated dresses had off,
the-shoulder necklines. The two little
thumb-nail sketches shown above are
the type of thing that we mean. Dot

Good Taste
In Duties of
HOSteSSeS

"DEAR MRS. POST: I understand
~ that I have offended a friend
who came in Unexpectedly the other
day to lunch with me when, unfortu-
nately, was going to the lunch party
of another friend, whom she does not
know. I explained the situation, but
asked her to stay and would come
home Just as soon as possible, and,
of course, meanwhile my cook would
have prepared lunch for here But she
cooled at the idea and left almost i'm
mediately, and I've heard since that
she considers me very rude person.
What could have done?"
Answer-If you had invited her to
lunch that day-and had then for
gotten your engagement with her
she would have had reason to think
YOU rude. But If she arrived at your
house without even telling you she was
coming, there was nothing you could
possibly do except leave her. In fact,
you did more than any mere rule OF
etiquette could exact, in offering to
have lunch prepared for her. Had you
given up your lunch party, that
would have been inexcusably rude.
and had you attempted to take an
unexpected guest to the lunch party
you would have been acting with un-
forgivable presumption.
Dear Mrs. Post: My parties are
of the simplest kind, but invariably
on the day after one I receive plant
or q bouquet of flowers from q guest.
Isn't appreciation to this extent un-
necessary, and when-if ever-must I
make o return?"
Answer-n that is the way you feel
about it, yes. Moreover, there Is no
definite obligation to send flowers to
others IL you don't want to. Never
theless, the sending of flowers Is
always gracious expression Of ap-
probation that most people value very
much.
Dear Mrs. Post: We are asking
IL people to dine with us in q hotel
after the races. No one will have O
chance to change clothes, so (D should
we arrange to have private rooms for
both the men and women, where they
can freshen up q little? (2) Also,
only the guest of honor and her hus-
band and two others like cocktails,
so may we omit this preliminary"
Answer-Q) The ordinary hotel
dressing rooms should be all that are
necessary. (2) I can't answer this be-
cause I don't know whether the four
who like them care much or little If
given none. In your place, I should
order half a dozen only-in case two
others take them or one Of the four
take two. It is not at all necessary
to order anything with the cocktails,
or to spend any appreciable time over
them before beginning dinner.

to youth and this year 1t Is used for
evening frocks both in white and dot
ted in colorS.
A very beautiful dress was shown
Of white silk net with waist-length
net cape that practically described a
semi-circle from shoulder to belt and
was finished at the neck with four
shirred rolls. A band of shirred rolls
stiffened the skirt hem and this un-
usual dress was further enhanced
with a crushed lilac sash.
Green taffeta made stunning long
wrap with founces at the bottom and
q high collar trimmed with taffeta
flowers on one side only. And q
casual-length evening coat Of white
cotton lace Is awful1y good. too. 1t
has a wide. round collar that may be
rolled up and deep-pointed yoke in
the back.
A NEW arrival from that clever de-
n signer for young people Is an
exquisite rosy lilac chiffon, with in
terest centering at the back, where it
is cut in wide v to the waist and
finished with a garland of large pink
roses and leaves across the back only
instead of a sash. There is q gathered
panel at the center that hangs in
graceful lines to the floor. The front
is q rather plain princess design, with
one little rosebud tucked into the
point Of the v.

and bleaker elements than did those
who landed farther South. There
was really nothing to help them IN
raising crops-no gentle sun to ripen
the grain quickly, and the rocky Ter
rain in many places proved an al
most insurmountable handicap.
However, these pioneering men ana
women did overcome that handicap,
as they overcame countless others.
Starting with practically nothing, they
evolved complete equipment for daily
living. The men, OF course, did tne
hunting and actual farming-out the
women did not shirk the heavy part OF
the work in the least, and put their
shoulders-sometimes literally-to the
wheel whenever occasion demanded.
THE material the women had 10
work with in their homes was
crude and roughly made-but they
made the best Of 1t, and from tnoSe
very days some Of our best natlVe
recipes and dishes have descended to
us. The fireplace was the focal point
of the home. 1t was the one source
of heat, both for the house and Tor
cooking and, very often, the only
means of lighting the room as well.
Fires had to be very carefully tended,
as. If they went out. they were diffi-
cult to relight. Goals, red-hot and
glowing, had to be carried in a warm
ing pan from a neighbor's house or
the fire must be started by means OF
a flint and steel. In this latter event,
sparks were struck to fall on some
dry tinder, such as scorched linen, old
handkerchiefs or milkweed, and then
famed into q fame. 1t took nearly
an hour to make . flre under these
conditions.
For baking, many homes boasted
q brick oven, which was set TO one
side Of the big fireplace. The smoke
went into the main chimney. The
oven was made hot by burning dry
fuel inside 1t, and, after some hours,
when the bricks were thoroughly
heated, the Goals and ashes were
swept out, and the article to be baked
placed inside. Bread was often baked
thus, on cabbage or oak leaves.
+
THE kitchen utensils themselves, Of
course, were OF the crudest
Usually made Of iron, they were ex-
tremely heavy and clumsy for
woman to handle. Boiling was done
in great iron kettles. suspended over
the fireplace fame, and, in the very
early days, roasting was done by
hanging q joint of meat or a fowl on
o hempen rope in front Of the fire,
and setting one Of the children to
twist the rope. in between hastings.
OF course, corn, and some other
foods were baked in the ashes, as
were the famous New England johnny
cakes.

Brief Lives
Of Infancy
Made Free
Greed for Talent Has
Wrong Effect on
Expanding Mind.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

A DISTURBING letter arrived a,.,ssn.,n IN
"A today's mail. A woman, evidently
a teacher, ill-trained and 1literate,
asks what she shall do with child
Of 5 years who refuses to read her
lines before an audience. This child,
abe goes on to say, has talent, ana
she wants to train her for pubic ap-
pearances. You know what tnat
means. A moving picture artist, q
radio performer, an entertainer nc
lodge meetings and the like.
she cries and behaves like BABY.
What can I do to make her do her
work and stop crying about It? 1
suspect there is a grain OF stubborn
ness In her makeup" says the
teacher. Can you hear the annoy
ance In her voice? See the set lines
on her face as she wrestles with THIS
infant who should be helping ner earn
money but who cries like a oaoy IN
stead? God pity all such children, 1or
they are defenseless against the pres
sure of greedy grown-ups who would
devour their infancy and childhood to
satisfy their own hunger for money
and applause.
The child who is an artist-enter-
tainer does not weep at the thought
Of making public appearance. He
reaches both hands toward 1t. He en-
Joys showing of, enjoys the applause,
the excitement and the uplifted po-
sition he occupies. His nature thrives
and develops on the training he re-
ceives. Whether 1t Is good or bad for
him I cannot say with authority, but
I do know he is happy and healthy
and useful to himself and other
people
NY concern is not with the happy,
successful children. 1t Is with the
children who loath the whole buSi-
ness, who shrink from it in dread and
horror, but who are forced into servi-
tude to earn a living for their own
ers. I cannot honor the people who
treat children like this by calling
them parents or teachers.
know that all children dislike dis
cipline, training and restraint of lib
erty. The most gifted and willing
child has off days when he has to be
prodded into action for his souls sake
But that is not the case with children
who cry and shiver and shake at the
thought Of performing before their
classmates. They are not in the artist
class. They are infants who want
only to be allowed to live a healthy
infants life, carefree, protected and
loved.
Infancy is brief period at the
most. All too soon the delicate bloom
Of babyhood changes into the sturdier
colors of childhood and adolescence
The charm Is fleeting OF course, that
Is why these infants are mistreateo
by their mistaken and greedy guard
1ans. Now is the accepted time and
they know 1t and push the child with
might and main.
Infancy is the period of greatest
sensibility. Of quick and deep impress
sions, Of rapid and lasting memories.
What the child experiences in these
brief years lives in his mind and in
huences his thinking and behavior
for the future Any wrong done an
infant Is lasting wrong. There is
no excuse and no pardon for the Of
fender.

w YOMEN are the great opti-
A mists Of the world. Hope
wv springs eternal in the femi-
nine breast, and no amount
of facts or logic or previous
experience ever dries it up at the
source. A thousand disappointments
have no power to discourage a woman.
She is perfectly certain that the
miracle she desires will happen on the
thousand and oneth.
As a proof Of this that we have ever
before our eyes, consider the beauty
shops where, day after day and year
after year, women pursue their unend-
ing quest for pulchritude, happy in the
belief that no matter how old ana
homely they are when they go in. they
are bound to come out young and
beautiful.
NOR does woman's optimism as re-
Y CARDS her looks stop here. She
believes that she looks to other people
as she desires to look, and that If she
saws she Is 35 nobody suspects her OF
being IS. even If her face is as criss-
crossed with lines as q road map and
her teeth are hers only by right OF
purchase. When grandma dolls her
self up in happer clothes and plasters
herself up with cosmetics IN the be-
lief that she looks sweet is, she fools
nobody but herself, but she fools her
self completely. She never doubts that
she is registering, as the films say,
glamorous girihood.
Then there Is love and marriage.
No matter how old and ugly and un-
attractive q woman Is she believes
that she Is q vamp and can marry any
man she desires, and the fact that she
has never had q date, still less q pro-
posal. doesn't shake this faith par
ticle. Girls who have physical af1lic-
tions that would keep any man from
wanting to marry them still dream OF
being brides and work on things for
their hope chests. And ! get hundreds
of letters from middle-aged wives with
half q dozen children who consult me
as to the advisability Of getting d.
yorces from their husbands so that
they may marry young. handsome, rich
and romantic men. They just take 1t
for granted that Prince Charming will
snap them up as soon as they are free.

Bath time is the best Of all for
putting nourishing creams on the
face. The steam and hot water hasten
the pore action, and the cream is
absorbed far more readily. Specialists
say that the skin will only take up
certain amount Of nourishment. any
way, and therefore it is useless TO
leave creams on for a long period.

BY EDITH M. BARBER.

THE first hot day usually gives as
q craving for cold meal, which
has the further advantage Of being
quickly set up.
You probably have discovered which
delicatessen in your neighborhood
offers the best cold meat. You may
choose one or several kinds and serve
with tartare sauce. II you are pressed
for time you may buy your salad ready
made, but you probably will prefer to
make one up yourself. We all Like
our own individual touch when it
comes to salad. Perhaps you vail like
waffle potatoes which only need to
be crisped in the oven few minutes
to 60 with a meal of this sort. II
you would like to have one other vege-
table you have probably discovered
that your grocer will shell peas or
lima beans at your request, or you
NAV get one of the cartons Of frozen
vegetables which are all ready to cook.
For dessert you may choose melons
or berries, or possibly ice, for which
you may use a sauce Of fresh fruit,
chocolate or butterscotch. You may
like to serve a cold beverage, such
as iced tea, beer or ginger ale, but if
your whole meal has been cold, kyou
will probably like to have hot coffee
for q finish. X
