TO produce a fine white flour, which also retains the real nutrition .and sweetness of the wheat, is the ambition of every .miller. In the products of tihe old Piedmonto Mills, "PIEDMONT" and "PURITAN" this ambition is realized. By ther Piedmont process of milling these familiar old brands carry every desirable property of the grain, and their use results in the lightest and' most wholesome breads and cake. Tlfe same satisfactory flour is the foundation of "Argus Self-Rising," from which the best biscuits are made simply by the addition of milk or water, and lard. The products of the Piedmont mills have been famous for a half century. You can buy the Piedmont flour now in pre-war quality since the Government has removed its restrictions on milling. , c THE PIEDMONT MILLS, Inc.

The young girl graduate must look her very best ou this meritorious day and if she Is not well drussed, surely she can not foci us comfortable as sfhe should. Much .depend* on her frock, whch should be chosen with the uttermost precision. Simplicity, of course, is noted In all frocks for tTiTs oivasion. The fact that simplicity must rifle, however, does not in any way mitigate the variety and charm 'of the selection. The mo^ ap pealing things are miMe on simple lines. Tltc material is au important factor in the development of the frock. The il lustration of the frock for the Sanger jcirl is an cxcc4?ent example of') this. The lines are extremely simple and there is no trimtning, but the exquisite materia] ' ts sufflci.cn tly iuteresrttng to substitute for other attraction^. The underskirt is developed in jrfaiu satin and the tunic and panels of the waist are made of fig ured Georgette. The puffs of the sleeve's hre of plain Georgette and the girdle X of satin ribbon, The frock for the college graduate fea tures the uueven tuuic. The material is artistically draped so that it falls low and rounded on one side and straight and short on the other side. The under skirt is not very narrow, for the fabric being wft falls into -pretty folds. The hutfe bertha is a timely revival, as are the rfhort sleeves. The sleeves, bertha, lower edge" of the skirt and tuuic are trimmed with insertion. The long un evert" lines lend a quiet dignity to the whole mtake up.
