Mrs. Croly and Her Work.

Mrs. Croly, whose pen name is Jennie
June, has long been favorite with the
reading public, is the president of the
Women's Press club and the founder of
it, for it was her call to the press women
of New Yorkthat resulted in the organi-
zation of the present club. Sorosis also
owes its birth to Mrs. Croly, in whose
house it was organized, and she has
written history of it.
At present Mrs. Croly is the editor of
The Home Maker, into which the Wom-
ems Cycle, that was started by her afew
years ago, has been merged, retaining,
however, the nameof Cycle department.
To this magazine Mrs. Croly now de-
votes the greater part of her time, but
goes about to various cities and towns in
the United States, whenever she is called
upon, tospeak of club life before wom-
ems clubs. No woman perhaps has had
more experience than she has had in this
respect, and her love for all women and
her interest in everything pertaining to
them render her peculiarly well fitted
for this work She does not sympathize
with the universal suffrage movement
for women, nor does she approve of it
for men, but she thinks that certain
classes of women should have voice in
the making of the laws, and she believes
that the time will come when they will
have it.
A thoroughly womanly woman, Mrs.
Croly's slight figure and unwrinkled
face make her look almost too young to
be the mother of grown up children.
She lives in dainty fiat uptown that is
filled with books, pictures and bric-a-
brac, making it the ideal literary wom-
ans home. Her Sunday evening recep-
tions are crowded with bright men and
women, and the young aspirant for jour
nalistic and literary honors is always
cordially welcomed by the genial host

Graduating Dresses.

Transparent white fabrics over a color
chosen by an entire class will prevail in
some colleges and schools. An example is
cream white mousseline de sole over pale
pink satin. Pure white dresses are, how
ever, most used by girl graduates. An
aesthetic design for sheer white wool or
crepe gowns has graceful Grecian draperies
and long flowing sleeves, and should be
worn with a mortar board cap of white
velvet. Some charming girlish gowns of
white organdy muslin are being made.
They have the full French waist, with deep
Valenciennes lace gathered to fall from
the shirred half high round neck. The
large sleeves have a lace frill below the
elbow. Three ruffies edged with narrower
Valenciennes trim the foot of the straight
skirt, and wide sash of organdy gives the
finishing touch to these simple dresses.
Other muslin dresses are of sheer nainsook,
made with high belted waist buttoned in
the back
Deeply crinkled japanese silk crepe, the
smooth crepe de Chine and China silk are
the white silks used for young girls
dresses inexpensive dresses of white
China silk for these young girls have the
high round bodice plated on the right
shoulder and shirred on the left, crossing
with mousseline de sole draped in curves.
Home dressmakers will find simple
model for these white China silks in a
shirred round high bodice hooked in the
back over fitted sateen lining. The full
ness at the waist is gathered on eight or
ten cords, and that at the top is fatty
shirred in round yoke shape, with an inch
wide standing frill of doubled silk about
the low throated neck. The skirt cannot
be too plain, but must be of becoming
length and fullness, and these differ ac-
cording to the height of the wearer.
Young lady graduates at evening exer-
cises wear plain or figured mousseline de
sole dresses made with half low corsage,
with coat skirts and long sleeves. The
skirt is demi-trained. Black stockings and
black slippers will complete simple toilets
for graduates. For those more elaborate,
white stockings, with white, silver or gilt
slippers, are suggested. Greek fllets of
white ribbon and an upturned bow at the
side are the pretty ornaments for the hair.
The white gauze fan is suspended from
bow of ribbon on the right shoulder by
two long ends that hang back of the arm.
The gloves may be either white or light
tan colored undressed kid.-Harper's Ba-

c. w. Dayton, Jr.

in Sandy Hook, Wednesday evening,
that Charles w. Dayton, Jr, had died at
the home of his sister, Mrs Charles A.
Hall, in Long Hill, at A o'clock in the at
ternoon. He had been suffering with
consumption for several months, but his
death was not expected so soon. Since
last Fall, when he had severe cold and
an attack of grip, he has been failing rap
idly and left Sandy Hook for Long Hill,
hoping that change of air might benefit
him temporarily. The body was brought
to Sandy Hook, Wednesday night, by
Taylor & Blake and placed in the Pohta-
tuck street residence of his father, JUS
tice Charles w. Dayton, where the flu
neral will be attended, Friday, 2lst, at 2
O'Clock; burial will be in Berkshire GEM
etery. Mr. Dayton, who was 81 years of
age, had spent almost his entire life in
Sandy Hook and was faithful and honest
in his dealings. He was liked by all and
had not an enemy. For many years, he
had been employed by Hon s. r. Glover
and has also been in the employ of Agent
c. B. Taylor at the station, where he
telegraphed for time. He has also
been employed at Long Hill. He was
son of Justice Dayton by his first mar
rage and has brother Fred and four
sisters, Mrs Charles A. Hall, Misses Jen-
ME, Susie and Belle Dayton.
