RECEPTION TO Y. M. C. A. AND
FRESHMAN CLASS AT w. P. l..

The annual reception of Central
Church to the Y. M. c. A.and the fresh
man class of Worcester Polytechnic in
stitute was given at the church par
lors last night and it brought togeth-
er a party of about $50, including a big
delegation of the young students from
the Tech, several of the young ladies
of the church and many of the success
full business men of the city who were
present to give their young successors
words of advice to follow in their school
and after life.
The strangers were received by Rev.
and Mrs, A. w. Hitchcock, D r. and
Mrs. Engler and Prof. and Mrs. u.
Waldo Cutler of the Tech faculty. The
presence of ladies at the reception was
an innovation as the receptions of for
mer years have always been for the
men alone, but it is safe to say after
the success of last night the ladies will
hereafter figure prominently in the en-
| tertainments.
After the early greetings the party
assembled in the large meeting room
where James Logan, general manager
of the United States Envelope Compa-
ny, welcomed the young men to the
! church and gave them some good ad-
| vice He urged them especially to re-
sist their personal inclinations to enjoy
the freedom that is theirs for the first
time away from home and he cautioned
them against believing that mans
measure is taken by what he is worth
in this worlds goods. He said mans
measure is not what he has, but wha
ne is and his seward will be given hin
not in this life but in the life beyond
the great divide. The young men COM
to the Tech to get their education ant
to train their minds and sharpen thei
wits but if they do this without doin
something for their moral side, the
are doing violence to their spiritua
side.
He cordially welcomed them to Cen
trail Church and said he hoped the
would make it their home church Will
at the Institute. He did not wan

ed them to follow their own denomina

They should make some church con
nections and remember that 1t is mani!

Addresses along similar lines wer'
made by John C. Woodbury. and Rev
A. w. Hitchcock and a response for tn
students was made by Winthrop Hall
president of the Tech Y. M. c. A. AT
ter the addresses refreshments wer'
served by Mrs. d. II. Smith and
corps of assistants from the young la
dies Of the church.
The committee in charge of the re
ception consisted of Prof U. Waldo

Oxford Boy won the two-year-old
trotting Futurity after hard strug-

wins entry.
The pace set was too swift for the
majority of the youngsters and to the
finish of the third heat only the two
were left. Accordingly the con of Red
CIute took first, third and fourth mon
ey. Grace Eldred was held at $50, the
| field at $40 in the first. In the second
| she sold at $50, the field at $50 She
| finished second in each heat.
Oxford Boy won second heat with
such ease that he became favorite at
$50, the field $25, but Grace Eldred took
the third heat in 217, record time for
the stake made by Ferno last year.
Grace Eldred however again was fla
vorite with oxford Boy second. In the
second attempt they were sent off
abreast for the deciding heat. Grace
Eldred took the lead by a length and
maintained it all the way around to
the stretch Hard pressed she broke
at the distance pole and oxford Boy
won without a squirt in 2.20.
The two thousand dollar Wilson
stake 2.2O class, pacing, was won III
straight heats by Audubon Boy, the
favorite. He was fought to the wire
in each heat by DR.. Monical and New
Richmond, being forced to lower the
record for the stake, three quarters of
a second in the first heat and covering
the other two miles in the remarkable
time of 207 "a and 2.08 IL. The rec
ord time for the event was 2.071a made
by Heir at Law in 1896.
Gaebater, at all times a prohibitiye
favorite, won the 2.3O trot in straight
heats, but with no lead to spare in any
heat. Willie Glenn, Che fayorite fol-
lowed with a like performance in the
2.0s trot.

viding the little ones have not yet reached
the dignity of short skirts and short
sleeves. Infants clad in cloaks and pelisses
are sight to make the sympathetic weep.
An Improvement on infant gear for which
the present season should be accorded
credit is the Introduction of lightweight
wraps, piques, lawns and China silk. The
little capes and the small robes are so

A CHEEKY mite passed me an hour ago on
the street in the arms of his bonne end
I've no doubt that his good nature IN no
small degree was due to the short coat of
white pique trimmed with double bands
wheels and crescents of fine swiss inserted
embroidery. For a small girl of three or
four who trotted at the bonne's heels
linen coat after the empire style had been
provided, and the 1ounce Of her white lace
trimmed frock was merely suggested by the
line of white peeping out below the pique.
The box-plaited front buttoned at the left
side, the short waist being almost covered
by the four pearl buttons that formed a
square on the breast. A collar stitched
several rows deep. also short and pointed,
enciricled the neck. while the full sleeves
were caught at the wrist by a narrow
stitched cuff.
I am told that the modistes hope to in
troduce old-fashioned brocades, or at least
such effects in silk, this winter Taffeta
chiffon and louisine are now favored silks,
the new taffeta chiffon combining the quail
tiles of both these fabrics.
For fall wear no very decided modifica-
ton In skirts Is expected f1ounced effects
and curious applications of geometric
figures being the main variations. A great
deal of trimming will be in order Gold
and iridescent embroideries and passemen-
teries Will be In general demand. Red and
emerald green in contrast Is to be a color
combination much exploited. When prop
erly harmonized, the shades are not un-
pleasing.
Elegant petticoats, of course, form part
OF each summer toilet. White skirts Of
lawn and lace are even more popular than
silk ones, although silk slips are favored
for sheer gowns, the skirt bearing an un-
derhounce Of silk, trimmed usually with
ruchings. On the silk petticoats knife
plaitings and cordings, too, appear in COM

PICTURESQUE EFFECTS
FOR SOME THE SENSIBLE IN DRESS

The picturesque girl is much in evidence
this summer, and bewitchingly fetching
are some of her toilets. During the brief
season, when the sensible ruled woman's
dress, and by the cut Of her tailored cloth
the girl of fashion was known, the pictur-
esuue maiden was almost relegated to the
ranks of frumpdom. AS compared to the
stiff perfection Of her trimmer sister, her
sweeping lines and romantic effects seemed
old fashioned and silly: and under the con-
temptuous title of "esthetic," all that ap-
peared unusual in dress was known.
Today it is not thus and because Of
change in the ideal for woman's dress,
where the tailor girl gets one admirer the
be-muslined sylph counts ten.
Some Of the most beautiful of the pic
turesque effects this summer are those
produced by modes that borrow from the
Louis XIV and Louis XVI periods These
show the brocade coats with postillion
backs and huge jeweled puttons; from Ma
rie Antoinette are descended the beauty
spot, the fat curl that hangs from the coif-
fure, and all the frills that frou-frou
around the feet.
In the country some very odd hats are
seen, vast fats completely Transparent,
Topping about the face with limp brims in
a way that is coquetry Itself. These run
to masses Of small flowers and narrow vel
vet ribbon, and the painted muslin or or
CANDY frock that goes with one may have
the quite low neck finished with quaint
cape collar, while a. wide. frilled sash of
the gown material may fall almost to the
end of the skirt. - t.-.
One very charming hat seen at Saratoga
was a coal scuttIe shape In bright yellow
Panama. Upon the wide front brtm rested
an enormous bunch Of cabbage roses and
yellow daisies, and about the steeple crown
black velvet ribbon was tied, ending back
and front in careless bow.
The costume that went with this dell
ciously rural headpiece was equally rustic
in suggestion, though made Of the finest
materials. Organdy, whose vivid canary
yellow was much softened by the white
lawn petticoats, beneath, was It's ground
work. Into this had been inserted white
gauze ribbons painted with flowers in nat
about, the waist and finished at the bust
in sprawly bow, and the ensemble was
something to make hardened bachelor
forsWear his vows.
Painted and embroidered gauze ribbons,
gathered into frills and ruchings, ornament
many of the thin frocks in plain colorS. The
founces of the skirt will often be made
entirely Of the wider widths, and In this
case the narrower is used on the corsage.
Afternoon costumes in Swiss, especially
those designed for half mourning, will often
run to black stitching. One very pretty lit
tie Swiss dress thus decorated has the
ice is on the baby waist order, with
yoke and shirred sleeves of the plain white.
White beading, through which narrow
black ribbon Is run, supplies neat head
