Georeette crepe, or gandy and the various thin white cot tons are the chosen materials tor the graduate, the first-three men tioned cutting in upon the popularity of the long-favored muslins. Amnnor the net frocks there are some that are decidedly youthful and charming. One particularly girlish and attractive model was trimmed with tiny ruffles on the skirt, t the wide hip-line and again at the lower part of the skirt. The bodice, at the bust line, was also rimmed with the tiny ruffles. Round neck. U neck. V neck, square neck, high neck, all are to be found among the daity white frocks suit able for graduation wear: so any eirl may find something becoming, and tor tne girl witn pretty arms mere are short sleeves, frilled, felled, tubu lar of puffed, though long-sleeved models are numerous. Georzette creoe long sleeves are occasionally introduced into a frock of crepe de chine, or silk or other material heavier than the crepe. One distinctive frock was formed of Georgette crepe and taffeta. The crepe composed the long sleeves, filled in the V at the neck and formed a long plaited tunic which fell over the taffeta underskirt. The bodice was of the alawys becoming surplice sort. One question qf the collar is more vital than the average girl realires, and the unbecoming collar is a thing to be avoided, no matter how new or modish it may be. Many of the new collars thicken the neck line or con ceal the shoulder line in a fashion ex tremely trying to the girl of short neck or high shoulders or too full figure. Waist earnitures are of Geororette. of chiffon and of 'cotton net with a round or V-shaped neck opening or namented with soutache embroidery or some other device.

"Ink that will not write is not the right kind of ink," facetiously re marked a member of the Board of Education, , He had in mind the ink which has been used in the public schools since last September, Complaints have been received from several schools against the ink supply. Principal Doyle of Columbian school reported the matter and a new supply was sent to her. The supplies committee is experi menting with writing fluids and hopes to have better luck when ordering the supply for the next school year. A year ago the board entered into contract for "ink," instead of writinR fluid. The year's supply was re ceived and placed in the store house for distribution to schools as ordered by principals. Complaints against the ink are that it is sticky and gums the pens. Chair man Fry of the supplies committee explained that the complaints were not general, but 'he realized that more thought must be given to the ink supply before a new contract is made. In the experiments being made is an ink in tablet form, the plan being to dissolve the tablets at the schools. It is believed, however, that a' grade of writing fluid which will stand any test wilt be selected for next school year.
