NEW IDEAS FOR SUMMER
FROCKS.
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.

For Good Roads.
Harrisburg, Pa. 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.

300,000 VOICES!
AND MANY ARE THE VOICES OF MEY-
ERSDALE PEOPLE.
Thirty thousand voices—What a
grand chorus! And that’s the num-
ber of American men and women who
are publicly praising Doan’s Kidney
Pills for relief from backache, kid-
ney and bladder ills. They say it
to friends. They tell it in the home
papers. Meyersdale people are in
this chorus. Here’s a Meyersdale
case.
Mrs. John J. 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. I
was troubled a great deal by kidney
complaintand dull nagging backaches.
Sometimes I had pains in my sides
and loins and this conyinced me that
my kidneys were disordered. Hear-
ing Doan’s Kidney Pills highly rec-
ommended, I commenced using them
and it was not long before they
brought relief. I recommend Doan’s
Kidney Pills as aremedy of great
merit for kidney disorders.’’
