NEW YORK FASHION LETTER
BY ESTELLE CLAIREMONT

NEW YORK. May 21.-The summer
is drawing near and with it the time of
June weddings and graduating exer-
cises. To the average girl the thought
OF the coming examinations with their
puzzling questions and dreadful pit
falls, does not cause half so much
worry and anxiety that the question
concerning the dress she Is going to
wear at the customary commencement
exercises. 1t is undoubtedly an i'm
portant event in the life of a girl when
she graduates from school, after having
Tor years worked hard at her studies
to mt herself for her future career.
whatever that may be. Graduation
may only mean the first milestone in
her educational advance, or it may
mark the finale of her theoretical
schooling. the beginning Of practi-
cal course. with all the hardships and
disappotntments Of such a course, be
1t the life Of working woman, or a
life of domestic drudgery at home. But
Just about this time the girls about to
graduate give no thought to the SER
ious side of their future prospects,; the
work Of preparing themselves for the
final examinations and the vexing pro-
blem: What am going to wear?"
keep her too busy.
The general custom of dressing girl
graduates in white on the occasion of
their graduation is of quite ancient ORR
gin. I. can be traced back to the old
Romans. with whom the custom Was
so common that it even found express
sion in the term used for those. who
were about to graduate or who stood
before their final examination Such
persons were called candidate. from the
color Of their tOga, which was invar-
iabiy white. The derivation of the Gus
tom Is perhaps not quite correct and
Tar fetched. but. at all events the GUS
tom Is as much in vogue now as it was
when our -9randmothers and great
grandmothers went to school.

comes to making the most appropriate

should be exercised in the selection. as
the beauty of the general effect of the
bridal costume depends upon it. Rose

brunette, while the exquisite silver,

more for the blonde. Another feature
which deserves careful consideration Is
the material best suited to the figure
of the bride. OF course. in many cases
