NEW YORK FASHION LETTER

New York, May 21.--The summer
is drawing near and with it the time
of June weddings and graduating ex-
ercises. To the average girl the
thought Of the coming examinations
with their puzzling questions ami
dreadful pitfalls, does not cause half
so much worry and anxiety as the
question concerning the dress she is
going to wear at the customary com
mencement exercises. 1t is undoubt-
edly an important event in the life
of a girl, when she graduates from
school, after having for years worked
hard at her studies to fit herself for
her future career, whatever that may
be. Graduation may only mean the
first milestone in her educational ad-
vance, or it may mark the finale of
her theoretical schooling, the begin
ming of practical course, with all
hardships and disappointments OF
such a course, be it the life of work.

drudgery at home. But, the serious

assumes the name Of Brown, seeks
seclusion in country place 10 miles
from the city, but to his inexpressi-
BILE dismay all their friends and rela-
tives drop into the same place. The
complications that arise from the
fact that the young man tries to
keep his marriage from them and his
plan to efface them effectively but
gracefully are said to be very hu.
morous. Browns in Town" comes
to the Grand opera house Monday,
May 23.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1904-05-21

Browns in Town" is said to be
an uproariously funny play on the
farce order, illustrated by capable
artists. and the action Of the play
takes place during one summers day
Three acts are used in which to tell
the story; the first being morning
the second afternoon, and the third
night. The plot hinges on the de
sire Of young couple to keep their
marriage secret until they can hit
upon an idea to spring the news upon
the young mans father, who objects
to his son marrying until he reaches
a certain age. The young man, who

side of their future prospects; the
work of preparing themselves for the
final examinations and the vexine
problems: What am | going tc
wear?" keep her too busy.
The general custom of dressing
girl graduates in white on the occasion
of their graduation, is of quite an.
cinet origin. II can be traced back
to the old Romans, with whom the
custom was so common that 1t even
found expression in the term used for
those who were about to graduate or
who stood before their final examin-
alton. Such persons were called
candidate, from the color Of their toga,
which was invariably white. The de-
riviation of the custom is perhaps
not quite correct and far fetched, but,
at all events the custom is as much
in vogue now as it was when our
grandmothers and great grandfathers
went to school.
1t Is undeniably an appropriate GUS
tom. There is nothing more befitting
youthful feminine charms, nothing
sweeter to look at than a girl dressed
IN white. Youth hath charms of its
own and needs not gems or rich or.
naments to make itself felt. Even
the plainest girl looks pretty in a
white dress If it fits her we'll and for
handsome girls no better foil could
be devised than the simplicity and
delightful unobtrusiveness of a white
frock. 1t lends an indescribabIe
charm to the graceful lines and bud
ding forms of the sweet graduating
girl.
Although the custom OF selecting
white materials for graduating dress
es prevails as ever, Dame Fashion
has her say as to the materials, the
cut and the trimmings of the cos
tunes. Fortunately for a great many
girls who are not daughters of mil
lionaires, fashion allows considerable
freedom in the selection of materials
so long as they are white and are cut
for graduating dresses. Fabrics of
every description. from the cheapest
TO the most expensive may be used,
and trimmed in the approved style.
Judging from the general style of
dresses in vogue at the present time
graduating dresses will be unusually
handsome and charming this year.
And the simpler materials which will
be used for such dresses are batiste
and mules Of various degrees of
hneness and expensiveness. India |
hnens, Persian lawns, Swiss and or
CANDY will also find many admirers.
II may be said. however. that the
softer materials, like batiste and |
MULE are preferable, as they lend !
themselves better than the stiffer ma.
'erials to producing those soft and
graceful effects so characteristic of
present styles.
The question of trimmings and or
lamentations is a very important one
with graduating dresses. It Is In the
trimmings and ornaments that the
Ouik OF the expense is. Hand en-
