Unique commencement Exercises.

The guests who gathered under the
elms of old Wallingford for the first
commencement of Rosemary hall were
not asked to listen to essays on ''The
Pleasures of Memory" 1.-The Progress of
Women" and like topics, SO dear to the
heart Of the graduating school girl They
entered the great dining room of Hon.
William G. Choate's summer residence
to find themselves in Venice-looking on
the Grand canal, with its floating gon-
dolas, and at Shylock'S house, with pretty
Jessica leaning from the easement. Four
scenes from the Merchant of Venice
were given with much spirit.
Then the guests were invited out OF
doors to see the contest for the silver
mounted whip. Four horses, having on
nothing but halters, stood under the
trees, and the harness lay on the ground.
The friends grouped themselves around,
and at the word "Start!" four daintily
gowned girls sprang for the harness.
The excitement was intense as Black
Beauty refused his bit or Joe held his
head high. The fifth and sixth competi-
tors were given trials as soon az harness
was available. The prize was won in
four minutes and a half by Miss Marion
Hazard of Providence. New Haven Pal

Five trunks full of important pape
Hosiery That Comes High,

Some of the new stockings have very
peculiar patterns. One, for instance, is
striped with all the colors of the rain
bow, another has sort of dice pattern
in black and white, a third has CORFU
gated surface, and fourth is parti col
Ored. There are lots of other odd pat
terms, but think those just mentioned
are about the queerest saw. Stockings
of fine cashmere or Isle thread for day
wear are mostly embroidered with floral
designs or streaked with alternate lines
Of yellow and green, gold and pink or
chocolate and blue.
Stockings in a soft shade of Russia
leather, with openwork fronts, look
pretty worn with shoes made Of that ma
terial. 1t would be impossible to say
which are the favorite colors for evening
wear The best make of silk stockings
are as transparent as the finest gauze.
They generally have as much lace as
silk in their composition, and cost S. to
1925 a pair.-Pall Mall Budget.

The Young Man tainted.

While a young man and young lady of
this place were gathering plums the
young lady stepped on the head of a
blacksnake. Her first intimation of the
situation was the presence of the snakes
coil around her ankle. She shrieked and
swooned.
The young man flew to the rescue, but
the reptile was moving slowly away
when the excited youth assailed him
The snake showed fight, and striking
with his full force fastened his fangs in
the mans waistband. The horror of his
predicament overcame him, and faint
ing he in turn fell to the ground. The
young lady was first to recover, and
when her beau returned to consciousness
the snake had disappeared.-Abbeville

Women May Study Plumbing.

At the trade schools, First avenue and
&xty-seventh street, the number of
young men attending the plumbing class
is almost double that in any other,
thereby indicating the great demand for
such worlnmen. In conversation with
the head Of the schools and with the
manager of the plumbing class, both ex-
pressed themselves in favor of women
cquiring some knowledge of the science
plumbing. Said the latter, Il should
consider the practice of plumbing in all
its brances heavy and disagreeable work
for a woman, but a knowledge of the
theoretical part would be invaluable
from a sanitary point Of view, if from
40 other, causing her to detect imperfec-
tons which, when neglected, are often :
prolific source Of so called malarial maia-
dies"
n response to question he replied:
undoubtedly women can be taught to
stop a leak, provided they don't mind
burning their fingers in the process. AS
rule" he continued, women are called
upon to oversee the plumbing of their
house to d much greater extent than
men. In nearly every case the appllca-
ton for plumber comes through a
woman, and frequently the workma
never meets the master of the eaE2
at all
A suggestion that the autumn course
of lectures on plumbing should be open
to women, and that i'll addition practical
class instruction should be given in the
primary principles of plumbing-in-
struction which would bear directly on
the ordinary household exigencies, was
not unfavorably received. Il can read
lily agree" said the manager, that
women shall be admitted to the lectures,
and if sufficient number should desire
practical instruction to make it worth
while to form class, have no doubt
their wish would be complied WITH

Buffalo in the National Park.

The Chicago Academy of Science held
a members meeting in the Art institute
recently, at which the gratifying infor-
nation that the American buffalo is in
no immediate danger Of extinction was
conveyed to the meeting in letter from
Captain George s. Anderson, acting su-
perintendent of the Yellowstone Ma
tional park. The writer states 4at there
are between 200 and 500 buffal es in the
park. Their numbers are steadily in
creasing, though rapid increase is
probably prevented by the severity of
the climate. Contrary 90 general opin-
ion, carnivorous animals are not very
destructive to the herd, and it stands the
winters without feed or protection

rings, even II they pc neart shaped, are
no longer good enough for an American
lover to give his fancee. An engage
ment ring, to be perfect, must now con
tain the features of the beloved giver.
This Is the way it is done. 4 large, per-
fectly clear, and somewhat fiat diamond
is selected, and underneath tiny NINA
ture portrait of the gentleman is placed.
The face, which is distinctly seen through
the diamond, is set in frame. as il

her fiance, in return, some token of Their
engagement she generally presents him

Cigarette Making by Ladies.

The ladies employed by the Gentle
womans Cigarette society, London, re
ceive sixpence per 100 cigarettes made,
more than twice the sweating price
generally paid. The best brands are
kept. and every cigarette is rolled hy
hand, an important consideration, as
every tobacco epicUre knows to his cost.
Notwithstanding the fact that the work
cannot, even when literally paid, be
very lucrative, hundreds of applications
have been received from every part of
England from women anxious to get
work of any kind, however hard, how
ever paid. A special brand of soft ciga-
rette is kept for the feminine clients of
the society.-London Tit-Bits.

STYLES of Women,s Hats.

There is an interesting change in the
style Of women's hats this year. The
cry of the kindhearted against the use of
stuffed birds as ornaments in women's
headgear won't be heard for some time.
The bird in the hat is as dead as the
hustle, and that is absolutely a matter
of the past. But this year the kind of
woman's hat that is going to be most
popular is the hat without any adorn-
ment of birds or flowers The old fash
Toned vines and fruit branches are not
