SWEET GIRLS In SWEET GOWNS.

Commencement week at Hasbrouck's
Is almost over. The graduates reception
last night, the event that crowns the
year, in the eyes of large proportion of
the younger dancing set. is past aud
over.
Tho numbers that passed under the can
opy to the School of Art on Grand street,
is estimated as larger than for seasons
past, fact due not only to the lengthen-
ing roll of alumni, but to the perfect
dancing weather" which celestial au-
thorities gave the Institute TO make up
for Thursday nights rain storm. The
decorations of the art rooms were profuse
aud elaborate. The doors, windows and
the arch between the parlors were draped
with heavy garland of oak and maple
leaves, with here and there cluster of
crimson roses. The lnantels were banked
so the ceiling with ferns and palms, with
tall centre pieces of carnations, the class
flower, and several small tables covered
with small flower beds of marguerites,
roses and ferns, stood about the rooms.
Someone with an eye to making people
happy had arranged tall. three-leaved
screen in one corner of the rear parlor,
and mindful OF the proprleties. had pla ed
a full-length cast of "DiaDa with the
stag' by its side, in such position that
she cast frigid glare back of it, after the
manner of careful chaperon, it was not
noticed, however. that she had any more
effect on the young people than as if she
had been the real article and not plaster
of paris.
WHERE THEY DANCED.
The recitation rooms ou the lower floor
were thrown into one for dancing and the
floors waxed to the last stage of glassi-
ness. The panel bearing the letters ''92"
had been removed from the Tabernacle
and hung over the door. while ropes of
green outlined the doors. The walls were
completely covered with the pictures
which form the art exhibition today.
Cranmer's full orchestra occupied dais
banked with flowers, ferns aud potted
dancing, which often meant promenading
instead, on account of the number on the
floor. supper was served by Morrow &
Day.
