Cream White PonRee.
In the color of their graduation and
promenade concert gowns, the girls pre-
fer white, or rich ivory, cream, mastic,
champagne yellow and mushroom gray
tones, and softly clinging batistes, silk
mulls and silk nets. A great deal Of cream
white pongee has been introduced on the
college greens along with cream batiste
that is embroidered in tiny colored polka
dots. A pongee and a batiste that answer
these descriptions are showed in one of the
pictures of 17-year-old college girls. The
deep cream batiste is picked out in tiny
! blue dots, and, with tucks and medallions
of lace, the gown Is effectively decorated.
! The creamy pongee boasts a pretty arrange
ment of narrow frills and a liberal a~pplica-
tion OF lace.
! There is another picture Of younger girls,
one in an embroidered null, the other in a
pretty white cotton point esprit garnished
with applications Of tea colored imitation
, cluny lace. Gowns Of this type require
the addition of very Hne black hose with
lace ankles and black vanished leather
colonial ties, in order to complete the cos
tune. All the younger set OF dancers

an amazing amount of flowers in their hair
and on their gowns. Artificial flowers
serve, Of course, in place of the real bios
SONS as garnitures for frocks, but 1t is
rather a modish notion for a dancing or din
ing girl to wear a record breaking single
blossom in her hair instead Of assuming
that now commonplace American crown,
the all -around diamond tiara. This sweetly
pretty fancy is illustrated in the sketch
OF a white net frock, Vandyked In bands of
imitation black ehantilly lace. In the hair
Of the wearer is mounted a huge white
peony, and q particularly stunning big
Baltimore Belle rose, or a prodigious scar
let geranium, or an abnormally big begonia
blossom are some Of the hair flowers that
have a peculiarly fashionable significance.
BoRs and Bags.
The fuzzy net boa, with its ankle long
front streamers, must no longer fun uI
about your ears, II you would represent
the latest phase OF the most artistic style
The frills OF the very properest sort Of
boa lie quite fiat out on the shoulders and
form a full, founey, fairy cape or ~pelerine
and the ends are very stole-lIke and greatly
ornamented. Cape ruined Is the mor'
technical and truly descriptive name o.
these newest shoulder ornaments. anC
some Of them consist Of three very full
frills spreading away from the neck, will
a broad lace collar extending on top o
them all.
Added to the dozen and one styles o

gram, chain and hook are Of the hand
soonest chased Russian copper gilt.
