 SWIRLING SKIRTS
 AND SLIM WAISTS
 Among the full-skirted, slim waisted models that fashionists like to think Sweet Girl Graduates will love is a stunning model which makes use of plain and eyelet em- broidered organdy. The swirling skirt, of the plain, is finished with 8 narrow, Val lace-edged ruff1e of eyelet embroidered organdy to match the double-breasted bodice. Sleeves are short and very puffed. Stand up collar and wide lapels also are edged with lace.
 One of the most charming of the streamlined versions is an evening gown of white waffle pique with a brief bolero. It's cut on figure mold ing, princess lines with a moderate decollete and fairly wide shoulder straps. For graduation, Miss Grad uate would wear the bolero. For summer dancing at the country club, she'd take it off.
 There are baby" dresses galore, of fragile white lawn with narrow, pastel velvet ribbons at necklines, waistlines and sometimes around skirts.
 For Glass Day, plaid and check ginghams are news. One neat little model includes full skirt and short bolero of blue and white check, shown with a Tyrolean blouse of eyelet batiste with red button hearts down the front. The narrow belt is of red patent.

Casa histories of three vacation 5sts--
 Miss A., who had been wearing an upswept coiffure for about a year, decided that, glamor or no elainor, she wouldn't have her hair done from the time she left home until she got back. And that she would use no makeup while on Eacation-not even lipstick. She planned to "go native" and that was that.
 She did. too. After the second swim, her upswept hair-do did a complete droop and she just let it xIfoop for the next two weeks. She didn't bother with cosmetics at all.

Frocks For Sweet Girl Graduate Are -YeS--Really Sweet and GiriSh!
By MARIAN YOUNG

'NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 New York-The smartest gradua- ton dresses are a happy compromise between what daughter wants and what mother feels is most suitable for young girl. Fortunately, the cost of the most popular types will suit even father, who has to foot the bill. And the fact that the ma jority are ideal for summer dances as well as for graduation. exercises ought to make everyone = mother, dad and daughter-pretty happy.
 The note of femininity prevails, just as it does in collections of clothes for older women. And who possibly could be more fiattered by the little girl" silhouette than a bright-eyed girl graduate? Bows, ruff1es, ribbons tied under the chin and other froth seem exactly right on her.

Before she left on vacation, she got hairdress which she could manage between weekly visits to beauty shop. She wore a light, becoming makeup day. time and evening. She kept the polish on her nails without making a fuss about it. She kept herself neat and attractively groomed, but still had time to meet people, get a lot of exercise and lots of sunshine. She came back from her holiday looking and feeling like a million and thanking goodness that she had found wonderful place to go.
