At any rate the girls lave about de-

favor to the extent that the goods has
already been ordered and at next meeting
it is probable the choice will be made
unanimous.
But the Girls Athletic Association has
no intention of limiting itself to indoor
sports. such as basket ball and gymnastic
exercises, which will be conducted in the
Peoples Palace. These sports are all

are four young ladies from this city,
Misses Mabel Smith, May Oakley, Ida
May Demarest and Agnes Dixon, to
graduate this year the exercises will
probably be largely attended from this
side of the river. The exercises are to be
followed by a dance in the evening, Miss
Agnes Dixon being on the reception conn
mfttee.
On Wednesday, June 7, the graduating
exercises for both Columbia and Barnard
Colleges will be held in the gymnasium
of Columbia College. and there is con-
siderable fear that neither college will
rave its head on that occasion, as the
