16 NORTH SHORE BREEZE and Reminder 
A Graduation Outfit for 
Twenty-Five Dollars. 
AST week Judy had a little to say 
to her readers about moderation 
and simplicity in graduation frocks, 
and this week she is going to tell them 
about a graduation outfit that may be 
purchased at one of Boston’s leading 
stores for twenty-five dollars. This 
allowance, of course, will not permit 
indulgence in extreme or luxurious 
things, but does entitle one to an out- 
fit of surprising daintiness and at- 
tractiveness, as well as very good 
wearing qualities. 
For the graduate, who is to buy her 
whole outfit with $25, let me suggest 
a net dress, as being much more at- 
tractive than anything else she can 
buy for the money. Even in the 
very reasonable ones, these little 
frocks of blond net come in such 
pretty styles for young girls. Some 
are trimmed with bands of ribbon, 
white of course, and with cleverly 
placed shirring. Many have a triple 
or long overskirt effect that is pretty 
and fashionable. One such dress, 
which had an attractive bodice made 
with a wide shoulder cape, was priced 
at $9.50. Another becoming mode 
was made of Brussels net lace in 
wide flounces. This was only $8.73: 
A more expensive frock of the Brus- 
sels with flounces and well made 
tucked sleeves came at $12.50. Near- 
ly all of these were made short- 
waisted and with ribbon girdles. Net 
is not only entirely suitable for such 
an occasion as graduation because of 
its absolute simplicity, but it is also 
economical for the girl with limited 
means because she gets much of the 
effect of a more expensive dress at 
a small cost and because blond net 
and the Brussels net lace launder 
beautifully,—with care, of course. 
Supposing, then, that the girl who 
graduates has decided upon a_ nei 
dress, the next consideration must be

Fashion and Household Suggestions 
for something pretty to wear under 
it. A silk slip seems in many ways 
to be the best and the most practical. 
A very good-looking one of China 
silk with wide, Valenciennes inser- 
tion may be had for $5.00, and a 
petticoat of sateen, plaited, may be 
bought in the same shop for $1.00. 
Even sweet sixteen is not advised 
to buy her corset for less than $2.00 
and if she can afford more, it is 
worth while to spend it. Shoes and 
corsets are such an essential part, not 
only of a girl’s clothes, but also of 
her poise and health, that it seems 
a pity that they are so _ often 
neglected for the sake of a pretty 
blouse or hat. A very good corset 
in any of the standard makes can de 
purchased for $2.00, but be fitted to 
insure correctness for the particular 
girl who is wearing it. 
For this outfit and for the girl who 
is doing things simply, cotton knit 
vest and knickerbockers are advis- 
able. A good vest with either the 
French top, which is in many ways 
the most advisable, or the square top 
may be had for 25 cents and plain 
knickers for 50 cents. 
suoes and stockings have been lefz 
for the last, not because they are re- 
latively unimportant, but because they 
allow so little variety of choice. They 
must be white, probably, and not ex- 
pensive, surely. Under these condi- 
tions white canvas pumps with a 
moderately high, covered heel at $3.50 
are the best choice. With them may 
be worn if the girl insists on silk hose, 
and very probably she does, white 
stockings at $1.00 for the pair. If she 
wishes cotton stockings, excellent 
ones may be bought for 50 cents. 
For the graduation outfit, then, 
that is all that one could desire im 
preitiness and simplicity for $25.00, 
the following schedule is the properly 
proportioned one: 
Dress, $10 to $12; slip, $5; petti-

coat, $1; hose, $1; vest, 25c; knicker-

Of course this is variable and it is 
possible to pay more for_the dress 
and get a Georgette crepe or taffeta 
dress that is not so thin as a net frock 
and thus save on the things to be 
worn underneath. For the class 
whose girls are to dress alike, too, 
there are different types of dresses, 
such as linen, which are favored for 
this type of graduation dress ‘that 
may be included in a_ twenty-five 
dollar outfit, Of these Judy will 
speak another week.
