Graduation Gowns, Quaint] Silks, Neck Fixings, Voiles, for Summer wear. New York, May 17. The girl who graduates this year will have so many models to se- lect from that a choice may be diffi- cult, though there is usually some one style that is distinctly most be- coming. Draperies are so varied that they lend themselves to any figure except the extremely stout and physical culture and diet haye nearly eliminated that type among the younger set. THE SILHOUTE. The fashionable silhoute is wide at waist and hips and tapering at head and foot, in fact were it not for the slashes used in many skirts their narrowness would prevent any- thing but the most mincing gait. Draperies with a bias line make the fignre slighter and the three or four tiers of flounces and puffs that are among the latest developments for skirts of thin materials reduce the height of a too tall girl. Sashes in narrow width tied once and with long straight ends, add the line which lengthens the figure, or wide girdles or pannier drapes increse the girth at waist and hips where that is desirable. " ~The above design is by The McCa! Company, New York, Designers an. Makers of McCall Patterns. NECK FIXINGS. Small touches like those are things that count in producing a stylish effect, or the reverse if wrongly se- lected, so it is well worth while to pay great attention to the details of dress. Everyone recognizes the importance of a man’s neck dressing and a woman’s fixings here are as important. The wired Medici col- lars now so popular are extremely pretty where the neck is not too short, or the face too full. Ruches of tulle that this year are made up in combinations of color, black and white with blue or red tulle going into the one ruche, are pretty and becoming additions that turn a plain suit or dress into fitness for ceremonious wear. Turn over col- lars on the blouse that are worn oyer the coat are extremely popular and when well worn’ very pretty, but| one sees so many girls with these who do not seem to recognize that there is definite line where propriety and style join in prohibiting an ur- seemly display of the neck in pub- lic conveyances and on the street. The shops are:full of little net gamps with collars easily refitted that can be slipped under a low cut blouse at a moment’s notice transforming it into the stylish and refined ap- pearance that well bred peopie like. Dutch necks and V styles that are in line with the popular surplice waists are pretty, comfortable and in every way admirable for home or evening wear, and the little half gamps that fashion decrees with the V’s, adds greatly to their efiect, as a contrasting touch of lace or color can be easily introdnced at this point. DAINTY BELONGINGS. The sweet girl graduate, and her brother as well, be it whispered, likes a generous supply of the fine toilet water she favors, and the chances are it is of American manu” facture, one of the most popular num- bers in the sets of matching toilet fixings that have become faddish and fashionable. The same scent distinguishes the whole outfit if soap, toilet water, powder, essence, and talcum, for each user favors one special perfume, either single or synthetic and will have no other. Therefore it is well before buying a gift of such articles to ascertain the kind liked, though, of course, a dealer will exchange the goods if a mistake is made in ordering. SILKS AND VOILES. Flowered taffetas and similar quaint cotton printing make the prettiest fussy frocks cf the season, and while most mothers prefer an all white dress for grad- uation wear this rule is not invaria- ble and ahe all white frock can | | easily varied for other occasions by the use of colored sashes, in plain tones, flowered styles, plaids, or the old time Roman cross stripes that are once more in favor.

May 17—None of the proceeds of the $50,000,000 bond issue proposed by the constitutional amendment now pending will be available for construction of main highways until the people of the State bave ratified the amendment at the November election, and then not until the Legislature passes an act prescrib- ing how the bonds shall be issued, the interest rate and other details connected with the issmance of se- surities. The preliminary steps to submit the proposed amendment to the voters will be taken this summer and if approved by popular vote the whole matter will be in the control of the Legislature. For this reason it will be necessary for the Legislature in the current ses sion to make provision for construc- tion and maintenance of State high- | ways for the two years commencing June 30, and the appropriations com- mittee is now considering the amounts of money to be allowed. While no determination has been reached, the plar is to divice the fund for road improvement into three items: One for the construction of main high- ways along the plan outlined by the act of 1911, oie ror the continuance of the State-aid policy, and one for maintenance of the highways. These items must all pass both branches of the Legislature and be approved by the Gov -rnor. It is the intention to be liberal with road improvements, and whil : the Legislature is disposed to take care of the great highways which are proving so valuable, pro- vision is also to be made for systema- tic improvement to township roads. A million dollars has been recom- mended for payment of bonus on work tax in the townships and a bill is pending which will provide $6,000,000 for improvement of the township roads by means of a special one mill tax on corporations. The township roads are to be given the advantage of State supervision, and the -bill to create a bureau of township highways to advise the county road superintendents to be elected by supervisors in each county will probably reach the House from the roads committee within a week. For the first time the State of Penn- sylvania has a comprehensive plan of of road improvement, something which has been urged for years, and it includes not only the chain of main highways, but State-aid roads and township roads. The $50,000,000 will be used forthe improvement of the highways established by the act of 1911 and such additions as may be made by the present Legislature, which is studying the requests for new roads and changes in routes. In this manner the work of building the great chain of roads reaching every part of the State will go on indepen- dently and without interfering in any way with the State-aid and township roads. For a State which ten years ago did not'have a mile of purely State road and whose highways were in ill repute, Pennsylvania is now be- fore the country with the most com- prehensive plan of any State, and the $50,000,000 will doubtless be made available so that work can begin a couple of years hence with the ex- perience of years behind it and the approval of the people. eet etree. 300,000 VOICES!

Bowser, 31 Broadway, Meyersdale, Pa., says: ‘Doan’s Kidney Pills are not a new remedy to me, for I have used them seyeral times during the past two years and they have given me great relief.
