Comme ncement pn nr No. 6079. This Is the season of the year when designers of smart frocks must devote equal attention to the bride- to-be and the sweet girl graduate. Choosing a dress for the latter is a much less discouraging matter this year than in former seasons because of the multiplicity of inexpensive cot- ton materials at hand. Lace does not seem to be in such great demand as formerly. There is real simplicity about many of the newest graduation frocks, partly due to the prevalence of self-igured ma- terials, such. as the muslins, voiles, marquisettes, cotton trepes, etc. Ris- ing in the scale of elegance, one finds silk and satin figured fabrics, but all are sufficiently self-decorative to be independent of additional adorn- ment if one is inclined toward ex- treme simplicity expressed in clever lines, Empire effects predominate, of | ACTIVITIES 0F VON | Great Britain bas 70 woman paper- hangers. : In Turkey the mother-in-law boss of the house.

Many of the graduating frocks shown have the bodices almost completely concealed beneath the girdle; or perhaps it would be better to say that the gird- le takes the place of a bodice. This skilful designers are doing wonderful things with it. It is seldom, how- ever, that the girdle, whether wide or narrow, corresponds with material of the dress. It takes its coloring and material, in the case of enchancing the beauty of the dress pattern. bows count for smart effect without producing insurmountable expense.
