The question of the graduation dress is always per Here girlhood and woman hood meet, but the girl must be kept the girl for the one day oi uays wnen Bhe receives the bit of ' parchment which seals her school life. - In this season of revived fashions and fabrics, the nroblem simplifies it self to some extent, for all styles are youthful. One need only visit the large Mtnn.a in unm-eciate the variety offer ed in these frocks. La la, you fair , maidens, wrestling with the quibs and questions of your last examinations, you should be with me in the great metropolis! On the spacious fourth floor of a house devoted solely to the needs of the girl, there are mahogany cases, filled with frothy white dresses, stretching away row after row, like the battalions of an army. It is sel dom you find so large an assemblage of frocks for one purpose, and age, collected in one pluce. Here you can bo outfitted from tip to toe, with the style and suitability of the garments assured. ' : - V .." :'y ; 1 At first glance;" it" seems the whole graduating world is to be gowned in net so completely does the fabric dom inate the collection, no doubt it is the extremely full skirt that brings this material so noticeably to the fore; but regardless of the cause, the effect is charming in the quaint Empire, bodice and bolora dresses, showing featu-r from old fashions such as short, puffed sleeves and narrow ruffles. Valencien nes, filet and imitation Irish crochet, repeated again and again in the trim ming, reminds one forcibly of the time ly revival of these three laces. There are frocks, too, where heavy embroid ery is used in the ornamentation; others edged with half-inch shirred ribbon, here and there a model touched with taffeta. One frock in particular of the last type the new luccd front bodice, rippling peplum, and applied hem of the silk. The guimpc, showing above and between the lacings of the bodice; the sleeves, puffed until they resemble toy balloons and the skirt, with its entire width gathered in at the waist are of not.' A half-blown rose of delicate pink, tacked above the hem, gives a touch of color, which makes the net and taffeta seem the purer white for the contrast- It might be well to add here, while speaking of the rose, that all the frocks have this bit of color and are named according to the flower they show. The model mentioned is the rose dress; the Mar guerite frock has a chain of daisies around the waist and the pansy dress a corsage bouquet of deep purple pansicH as the name implies. These touches and trimmings are also corried out in frocks of other fab rics; introduced, perhaps, to diversify the net modols or for the few who do not care for such transparent mater ial as the net. As the styles themselves hint of old-time fashions so those tex tures, hnve their origin in the modes of from 1840 to 1850. Sheer Swiss, plain and embroidcricd. batiste, point d'esprit organdy and dimity show to good effect with Vnleqciennes lace. Only two .really modern materials are used and these are cotton crepe, and voile. Since so many of the schools have set the limit of three dollars for the cost of the frock, the stores also fea ture inexpensive fabrics by the yard, the goods draped on forms to show the various styles in which to make it up. There are dainty cross-barred dimities Swisses, plain and cmbroidaried batis tes, voiles and crepes for twenty cents a yard; nets at forty-cents come seven-ly- two inches wide. The dotted Swiss is unusually attractive as one draper arranges it, in an Empire effeffct. The trimming is suggested also. At the Dutch neck and elbow sleeves Vulenci ennes lace is applied; also on the skirt in Grecian border above the hem. Trimness the chief charm of the frock is again in evidence in the broad girdle of moire ribbon, brought straight Around the Empire waistline and fin ished at the back with a flat bow and long streamers. Gloves, for the graduation frock are Cenerally of plain silk. Many well-to do mothers are buying their daughters' silk gloves in place of. the formal white kid; the effect is more girlish and they are much cooler for 'warm weather. To be sure there are fancy models shown and in good taste, too. A silk glove, pin-tucked around and around the wrist, a half-inch apart, or delicately embroidered, may be worn; the new lace glove, too, is perfectly appropri ate for the girl graduate. . The medium heel on the shoes is another feature of the fashions shown for graduation that the mother, at leas will like. 1 hese appear, slightly curved in the approved French style, on slip pers of white kid with colonial buckles and on white satin pumps with flow ers in front to match the flower of the frock. This makes one thing that the makers of slippers and the makers of frocks have held some secret sessions this season. Nor are the styles confined alone to white; black patent leather is considered equally appropriate) for the graduate, especially if worn with white stockings. There is a pretty mo del shown with flat heel and crossed laces of ibbonWhich,bi'ing8 to mind Crinoline days, when tiny slippered feet peeped from beneath the folds of the hoop skirt. The simplicity of the fashions al lows but little jewelry. Such touches as a string of pearls, a torquoise lock et, or a heavy gold bracelet, are em ployed to give the desired old-time at mosphere. The hair however, is decid edly modern, but so artistic that it in nowise spoils the quaintness of the costume. The bobbed effect is the most popular coiffure for the young girl. This may sound as if the younger generation are recklessly cutting off their hair; do not be misled for such is not the case.

Her friend copied it and now all the young girls have the effect of the castle clip without the "clip" and the originator of the-fad, who cut her hair close, envies them their lone tresses. Since the first cirl wound her hair in this knot in back, so manv have adopted the mode that pins have been especially de signed for the knot.
