Charlotte Rice, Elmer Rosenkilde, Helen Snow, Henry Treiger, Sydney Weinsteln and Philip Silver. As the class was small, all of the friends and relatives of the class were invited. The auditorium was full of these friends and after the graduation they gathered in the gym nasium to congratulate the gradu ates. e Miss Froyd, dean of girls at Lin coln, and Miss Durst, school librarian, have been visiting a number of the grammar schools recently and talk ing to the pupils In the eighth grade.

BY CLOT1LDE. AN attractive negligee made of a delicate cade of rose in crepe de chine was seen recently, and it is so simple in design that any one who sews much could easily duplicate it. It was cut kimono shape, but on generous lines. A kimono night dress pattern would be good to follow, and from the underarm part to tho bottom he line should bs straight. A 6-inch hem finished it at ths bottom, and this was joined to the garment by fagottlng. Then there was a line of fagotting part way up the skirt and a line of fagotting joined the top part to the skirt. It Is clearly pic tured here. The neck is cut round and is fin ished -with a bias fold. The sleeve edges have a narrow hem set on with fC"ITi A. -otrtnsT-saeh confined it Baker, vice-president Rnth Parka, secretary.

Then, for the next two or three days they will be sta tioned in the halls between periods to be of assistance to the freshmen. The seniors decided at a recent meeting that Instead of an expensive, formal senior "prom," they would have a skating party at the Oaks. The members and honorary members met at 7:15 last Wednesday evening and all went out to the rink on the same car. Old clothes seemed to pre dominate in the costumes and all had a hilarious time. s a A week ago last Thursday the mem bers of the Girls' league elected offi cers for next term. The president of the league was chosen from the eighth-term girls, the vice-president from the seventh-term, and the sec retary - treasurer from the sixth term. Those elected were: President, Hortense Bleker; vice-president. Fern Allen; secretary-treasurer, Camilla Burton. The Girls' league has grown a great deal this last term, both in the work the girls have done and In the posi tion it holds in the school's activities. Practically, all of the school's social service work has been done through the league and plans have been made to carry this work still farther In the future. The class CardiinaJ was In the hands of the pupils last Friday morning. Ths Cardinal was the best class Issue that Lincoln has ever seen. The cover of the book was hJnged like a regular leather book cover and had a very pretty, original design. One front page was left absolutely blank for autographs and original headings were used for each page. The pictures of Mr. Davis and of the members of the class were in formal snapshots taken in and around school. In many other ways this at the waist line. Black, blue or any color would? make up prettily by this design. Another negligee or breakfast coat is made of pale green taffeta, open down the front and having kimono sleeves short, of course. Down each front the finish was a pink taffeta binding and around the scalloped bottom the binding was used also. Around the bottom, above the scal lops, were two gathered1 lace frills, made of edging 4 or 5 inches wide, and above these on the fronts were lovely bowknots made of the bias folds, with tiny flowers nestling in the center of the knots. The 'neck was finished with a lace frill held In place by a fold or bind ing so this finish is really continu ous entirely around the coat. Rib bons are used to- Us together down ths front. , "1 J Work of Term Ended at Franklin. Examinations and Commencement Features of the Week Operetta to Be Next Important Event. BY EDNA MAY ROOT.

Satin mules could be bought the same color as the coat and trimmed with bow knots, matching the breakfast coat; and if one wanted to have nothing forgotten, one of these fascinating bands for the hair made of gold lace and. ribbon, or any combination one might choose, could bs added. Fine materials and good workman ship are essential for these dainty garments, and they will not look well If hurriedly or carelessly done.

Drake returned to Plymouth, his home city and starting point, in September of 1580, just 40 years to the month before the pilgrim fathers sailed from there, and five years before Sir Walter Raleigh's first body of settlers put out. Drake was a fighting Puritan, leading the British fleet later in the crucial hours against the Spanish armada, and this first American church service in the English tongue was directed by the Puritan chaplain to the expedition. After a terrific struggle to get around the end of South America. Drake had plundered the Spaniards up the west coast unaware of danger, and continuing north had passed shores yet unknown to Spain. Turned back by the cold as he began to approach Canada, he put Into a small creek or bay on the northern side of the Golden Gate before striking out across the uncharted Pacific. It was on June 17, 1579, that Drake anchored off the California coast.

Dr. Judklns, former Chief of Clinics at the Union Geiieral Hospital, Bos ton, Mass., and House Surgeon at the New England Eye and Ear Infirmary, says: "I have found oculists too prone to operate and opticians too willing to prescribe glasses, while neglecting the simple formulas which form the basis of the Bon-Opto home treat ment for the eyes. I am thoroughly convinced from my own experience with Bon-Opto that it will strengthen eyesight at least 60 per cent in- one week's time in many Instances." Dr. Judkins' statement will bring hope to thousands of victims of eye-strain and other eye-weaknesses, as well as to many who wear glasses because of weak eyes and defective viBlon. Many whose eyes were failing report re markable results from the use of Bon-Opto. , ,. . One man says: "I was almost blind could not see to read at all. Now I can read everything without glasses and my eyes do not hurt any more. At night they would pain dreadfully; now they feel fine all the time. It was like a miracle to me." A lady who used Bon-Opto says: "The atmosphere seemed hazy with or without glasses, but after using Bon-Opto for fifteen days everything seems clear. I can read fine print without glasses." Another who used it says: "I was bothered with eye strain caused by over-worked, tired eyes, which caused violent headaches.
