dances, with dainty bonnets in some
light hue, will be preferred to full dress
A pale yellow and pink stripe with
line of red running through it is the
material of a fancy waist to be worn
on this occasion. 1t is slightly low in
the neck and edged with a pearl and
crystal passamenterie, but the sleeves
are long with lace at the wrists, cover
ing the hand, and with butterfly puffs
at the top.
The sophomores get their share OF
the weeks festivities on Wednesday,
which is the night of their 'cotillion.'
Light, pretty dancing dresses are worn
here, some cut decollete with short
sleeves. but others are high in the neck
with plenty of lace and ribbon to make
them as fancy as possible without be
ing at all ceremonious, for a distinction
must be made, of course, between func-
tions that belong more particularly to
the juniors and those of other classes
during junior week. Some OF the new
organdies are being made up for this
occasion. A lace flounce around the
bottom of the skirt is new departure
in the summer dress, which VIII soon
appear in the dancing gowns of the
season. Some new evening dresses are
being made up with a wide iounce Of
mousseline de sole around the bottom.
The same dress may be made to do
duty for several different occasions by
judicious arrangement of neck and
sleeves. A Brooklyn girl who is invited
to spend the week at Ithaca, and who
cannot afford many new gowns, has
provided herself with a black dress that
can be worn at all but one of the
events. The skirt is shimmering black
moire poplin, which, by the way, can
be worn with another waist for street
dress. The bodice is black silk and
mOusseline de sole, trimmed with leaf
jet. The silk bodice is trimmed down
the front with mousseline and jet.
Around the low cut corsage is a pleated
frill Of mOusseline laid over silk to give
ii body. At the shoulders narrow epau-
lets of mousseline garnished with jet
stand straight out over the top of the
arm. They are kept in place by small
silk pufTs. which are stiffened with
crinoline. A yoke of black mousseline
gathered into a stock collar is made so
that it can be removed when more
elaborate costume is wanted. The long
mousseline sleeves-also removable
are shaped to the arm, and are shirred
with a heading on both sides Of the arm
from wrist to shoulder.
On Thursday, February 4, is given the
Junior concert" by the united glee,
banjo and mandolin clubs. This is the
musical festival of the year. Every
body goes in full dress and in the best
style possible.
But the event to which all look for
ward with The greatest anticipation is
the Junior Promenade" or the Junior
Prom" as the college men abbreviate
the name Of their grandest reception
and ball Of the year. 1t is given in the
armory, which is decorated and arrang-
ed in unique fashion. Around the large
hall are placed the boxes, about thirty
in number, which are occupied for the
most part by the fraternities.
Some of these boxes are beautiful in
their rangement-being banked with
flowers and fitted with tete-a-tetes and
divans piled high with Cornell cush-
ions, where tired dancers may retire for
a moments rest and conversation be.
