ADVICE WORTH FOLLOWING 
No matter how tightly your watch case closes, fine particles of dust and dirt 
will work in and mix with the oil. Then instead of acting as a lubricant the 
oil cuts the pivots like a file. 
That is why you never ought to run a watch longer than two years without 
having it put in order. It is better to spend a small sum every year than to 
neglect your watch for years and then find that it is ruined as a time piece.

SENSIBLE GRADUATION DRESSES. 
In many homes anxious parents 
are already puzzling and perhaps 
worrying over the problem of a suit- 
able graduation dress. ‘This seems an 
appropriate time to say a few words 
in favor of simplicity and common 
sense. 
The high school graduation is an’ 
important event in a girl’s life, but it 
~ is robbed of much of its happiness if 
graduates are ostentatiously over- 
dressed. The school committee of 
Pittsfield, having conferred with 
members of the graduating class in 
that city in an effort to prevent envy 
from spoiling what should be a glad 
event, has suggested that for the 
three principal functions, graduation, 
class banquet and promenade, each 
girl should have but one dress, and 
that to be of moderate price. It is 
also suggested that no gloves be worn 
and no flowers given to the graduates. 
In general the suggestions of the 
Pittsfield school committee seem wise 
and should be approved. It is what 
the graduates carry away from school 
in their heads and hearts that will 
count in after life, and not what they 
wear at graduation.—Boston Globe. 
“And how did my precious like the 
little present I made for him with my 
own hands?” cooed the girl. 
“It was lovely,” replied the young 
man. “But there is one question I 
should like to ask, dearest.” 
“And what-is that, pet?” 
“T want to know what your present 
was intended for. My sister said it 
was a cushion, but my mother 
thought it was a tobacco-pouch. At 
present I’m using it as a pen-wiper.” 
And now there is a coolness be- 
tween the two which no explanations 
can put right. 
GAIETY THEATRE, Boston. 
The New Jersey Lillies Extrava- 
ganza Company, which is now in its 
seventh year and still under the man- 
agement of Jas. E. Cooper is noted 
for this popular class of entertain- 
ment. This fine organization will 
play an engagement of one week at 
the Gaiety commencing May tst, be- 
ginning with a matinee Monday. 
Mgr. Cooper has arranged a surpass- 
ing bill for this season, which is in- ~ 
dicative of what he intends to give 
thie public next season on the occa- 
sion of the eighth jubilee of this 
company. “A Winning Miss” is the 
title cf the after piece or principal 
burlesque. ‘The opening burlesque is 
a novelty, a musical pot-pourri of 
bright amusing and laugh making 
nonsense entitled “A Complicated 
Affair.” Matinee every day 2:15.
