■The frock for commencement exercises
is just now the subject of absorbing inter-
est both to girl graduates and their moth-
ers, and many discussions must take place
and plans be made often, only to be frus-
trated, before the all important question
is finally decided.
Correctly speaking, the dainty gown
should be extremely simple in style, but
to this many girls object, preferring some-
thing, if not exactly elaborate, then at
leas’t prettily, trimmed. So far as this fs
concerned, there is no reason why such
personal taste may not be gratified.
Material is. the first consideration, and
certainjy there is a wide field for selection.
If economy is a factor, then the best re-
sults will be obtained by choosing such
goods as cotton voile, batiste or la.wn.
Next in price come thin albatross, nun’s
veiling and fine ibrilliantine,. and these
three, perhaps, lay greater claim to prac-
ticability, as well as suitability, than any
other suggested frabrics.
In trimmings j there are lace, ribbon,
fancy braid, satin, or silk folds, chiffon
and net, the choice depending upon the
kind of material used in the dress it trims.
> *
Mr. E. Phillips Oppenheim has few equals in the concoction of an exciting plot, and his
new tale is really remarkable in the ingenuity and consistency with which the complica-
tions are managed.—The Outlook.
All-over lace combines well with voile,
veiling and albatross,. fancy white fibre
braid being the prettiest ornamentation
for any of the brilliantines. Lawn, Swiss,
both plain and dotted; batiste and China
silk call for such laces as Valenciennes
and Mechlin. Mull and silk muslin frocks
will depend largely upon lots of shirring,
fine tucking and hand needlework for
their success, and it might be said that
these fabrics should, not be placed in the
hands of the amateur dressmakers, for
their development requires the utmost
skill, or the result will surely be a disap-
pointment.
Styles and models are the next consider-
ation and these vary quite as much as the
materials. A girl of medium figure may
safely choose the “Princess,” adopting
any form of it that she prefers. The
maiden of plumper build may still wear
this mode it she will run vertical lines of
lace far down the, skirt. The prettiest fin-
ish is to bring two little overlapping frills
on the hem. This arrangement is always
becoming to a stout girl. The slender
young woman should have her Princess
gathered closely about the waist line and
should trim the < skirt with horizontal
tucks, lace, folds or bands.
The very tall girl will look well in a
double and triple effect skirt, having in-
sertions of broa.i bands and all such ar-
rangements. ■ The upper s£lrt, tucked into
the belt and cut into shallow points be-
low the knee to meet a deep, full flounce,
is a good model, trimming as fancy dic-
tates. Another, equally 'Decoming,- is a
full skirt with self-bands first pintucked,

Belts must be wide, and the short bolero
gathered into louse girdle or band will be
fo md very 'becoming.
A bolero of chiffon worn over a soft silk
frock will be most effective; the sleeves
simple short puffs, meeting long gloves.
A slightly full skirt gathered into the belt
and rucked on the bottom, each tuck edged
'with a little frill, is a popular model and
one generally becoming, the bodice being
designed to suit the wearer. The average
gill may choose the round Dutch neck
have the full lower portion of the waist
tucked horizontically to match the skirt,
while her plumper sisters may adopt the
same style, but add bretelies or suspend-
ers by way of breaking the line of the
tucks around the body.
Bowknots of ribbon, lace or braid are
always a popular decoration for a skirt.
An excellent model for this garment to
be worn by a girl unduly stout is made
in sever gores, each one forming a triple
box pleat. In mohair a bowknot of rib-
bon or braid may decorate the lawer edge
of each pleat.
The waist would be in surplice effect,
with tied -bows on the shoulder and flut-
tering ends sewn down to the waist, back
and front. Lingerie will be the prettiest
for the chemisette and white ribbon for
the belt. The sleeves could be capes in
bell effect, each trimmed with a bowknot
and overlaying puffs of lingerie.

the Matter with Wall Street,” in the New Broadway
Magazine for June. This article tells startling facts
about the inside operations of Wall Street—how ths
brokers work—what it means to trade upon “mar*
gins”—in short, tells the story of the world’s great-
est speculating center from a new viewpoint, and
- with authority.
“The Menace of the Race-Track” is another arti-
cle of exceptional interest. It tells of the power wit hi
which this passion grips thousands upon thousand®
of people, the way the bettors violate the law, of
the big men and women in the metropolitan racing
game, and of the direful misery which follows in its
wake.

kind and benevolent old gentle-

After a while the “smoked Irishman,”
I’ke other new citizens, learned that the
republic motto, “Nothing without labor,”
was “no dream,” as he expressed it.
Keeping laws, he discovered, paid better
than breaking them, and in due time
pleasures and privileges and offices of
honor in the /republic fell to his Share.
For it is one of the beautiful laws of this
amateur republic that a citizen may'live
down his past.
The community happenings Of the repub-
lic, like its individual life, are constantly
teaching the intimate relations of cause
.and effect. A while ago the boys passed
an eight-hour work day against the wishes
of the feminine voters. Quick as a flash
the girls said: “Very well, then; our day
ends now. We have worked eight hours
already, and not a morsel of supper will
you boys get.”
They sat around in their white aprons
and looked superior, and the boys hum-
bled themselves in vain. Hungry , and dis-
consolate, they went to Mr. George and
said: “Daddy, what are you going to do
about it?”
With his inimitable talent for keeping
his hands off at the right time, Mr. George
shook his head and answered: “I really

But institutions •
where bad children must be handled in
the mass are inevitable. The placing
system, farm schoolb and all the more ,
natural methods, provide for'comparative-
ly few, and the state must deal with the
residue in its institutions. Even with
their necessary faults, they are doing an
immense amount of good. Into them,
too, are creeping gradually. <new ideas
about wayward children, and methods
are changing to meet the changing condi-
tions. In Pontiac, the state reformatory
of Illinois, self-government is being tried
successfully among the younger children,
and in other institutions, also, the con-
viction that responsibility and co-opera-
tion are the best reformers is bringing ex-
.cellent results.
In the general movement ’to secure fair
play for the children, aside from the
means used by the state, the George Jun-
ior Republic, founded, about a dozen years
ago at Freeville, N. Y.„ by Mr, William
George, is an important factor. It is a
government of the citizens and ' by the
citizens, and the citizens are all pilgrims
on the road to reform. When a young
tough, accustomed to reform schools, is
dropped into the republic, he undoubtedly
has the surprise of hig life. His universe
turns upside dsfWn, and everything pro-
ceeds by the laws of opposites. No clang-
ing of a huge iron door shuts off the
world. Around the simple republic build-
ings, on the top of a country hill, there
is not even a fence.
The boy guide informs him that the
state will support him for the first week.
“After dat, it’s woik,” he adds. “No

The new citizen grins, and thinks in his
own vernacular, “Wot a cinch!”
For seven days he loafs. Then on Sat-

Each boy pays in advance for lodging

bank account, he has a room of his own

a cheap bed in the “garroot,” contenting
himself with the second class table,
where oilcloth is substituted for a table-
cloth, and there is no dessert; But the

thing. “No meals, then,” says the stern
banker.

From
tween two inhabitants of one of
states of the American wild west it woud
appear that editing over there is a more
serious matter than it is in the Tatler
office, with all its troubles:
“I understand that Crimson Gulch has
a newspaper?”
“Yes,” answered Broncho Bob. “But
the fellers around here is so sensitive
they dasn’t print anything about
’em.”
WHAT HE CAME FOR.
An old negro entered an Eighth avenue
drug store the other day and looked
about him doubtfully, says the New York
Times.
“Something you want, old man?”
quired the clerk, stepping up.
“Yais, sah; yais, sah,” was his reply,
as. he scratched his chin; “but I disre-
membahs ’zactly whut—”
“Forgot what you came for?” broke in
the clerk.
“Dass des edzactly hit, sah; dass des
hit!” excliamed the old negro, his- face
lighting up with relief. “Er nickul’s wuth,
sah.”
The clerk stared for a moment, then
grinned underptandingly, and handed the
old negro his desired 5 cents’ worth
“camephor.”
Miss Alice Katharine Fallows,
Detroit News tells of certain efforts at
child culture now being operated’’
The juvenile court movement has grown
with great rapidity in th'te few years since
its birth, and already twenty states have
separate courts for children.. How much
these courts have donet«to better human
lives cannot be set, down as statistics, tout
even in dollars and cents states are find-
ing it cheaper to “make men than sup-
port criminals.” In four years the chil-
dren’s court in Denver alone has saved
the state of Colorado something over $270,-
000.
Through the signal success of Judge
Lindsey in making over bad boys, Denver
has Become conspicuous in philanthropic :
circles. The reform machinery there has
been brought to a high degree of ef-
ficiency, and, animated as it is by the
genius of the “kid judge,” as he is desig-
nated by his devoted adherents, it affords
the 'best possible illustration of the ef-
ficacy of the new methods. The author-
ity of the court is not limited to the boy
himself. Colorado laws make it possible
to send parents to jail for neglecting the
support or morals of their children. What
is entirely new, citizens may be sent to
jail for setting a bad example to boys.
The juvenile court and the probation
system are saving many boys from ex-
posure to the moral contagion which is
one of the great dangers of a reform
school. It is the risk of this that makes don’t know,

until the last moment. But institutions | In the meantime some of the citizens
' had been studying up the situation, and
with a whoop of delight they announced
that they could hold a special meeting
and repeal the obnoxious law. It was
not 15 minutes after the bell had sum-
moned’ the citizens to the school house
before it was effaced from the statute
books. No amount of precept could have
convinced these boys that it was better
to look before they leaped as did that
one supperless night which they had
brought upon themselves. Nor can any
sermon on thrift be as effective as a pen-
niless boy’s disappointment when the re-
public store has a sudden windfall of
candy- or other good things, and he jeers
at the nabobs who buy and eat,, to hide
his own unsatisfied longing. More im-
portant transactions give him another mo-
tive for prudence and foresight—as when,
for instance, a cottage is in the republic
market for the highest boy bidders. To
be in a cheery cottage, with its pleasant
rooms, its hostess, and its various other
privileges, is a thing- to be desired, and
when a boy sees the prize knocked down
to the capitalists, and pictures their
forts, working and saving hav^ a
value.
HIS REQUISITION.
The records in the war department In
Washington are, as a rule, very dry, but,
occasionally an entry is found that is
humorous, says Harper’s Weekly.
An officer of engineers, in charge of
the construction of a road that was to'
be built through a swamp, being ener-
getic himself and used to surmounting
mere obstacles, was surprised when one
of his young lieutenants whom he had
ordered to take 20 men and enter the
said that he “could not do it—
the mud was too deep.” The colonel or-
dered him to try it. He did so, and ro-
turned with his men covered with mud,
and said:
“Colonel, the mud is over
heads. I can’t do it.
The colonel insisted, and told him to
make a requisition for anything that was
necessary for the safe passage. The
lieutenant made his requisition in writ-
ing and on the spot. It was as follows:
“I want 20 men 18 feet long to cross
a swamp 15 feet deep.”
