CONFESSION OF THE ENGAGED.
A Ceremony at Girls Colleges ON the Eve
OF Graduation.
modest sum

An enga cement confession is part OF the
commencement festivities at Mount Holyoke
and Smith colleges. Each senior who
has found time amid her studies and her
play during the four years course to become
enga ged, blushingly admits it. The Mount
Hoyoke girls observe this ceremony on
the top Of Mount Holyoke Early in the
afternoon they make the trip to the noun
tain top and then after jolly supper
flock out on to the broad verandas. When
they have tecome thoroughly saturated
with the romantic feeling which the noun
tain always causes, the president says
simply
Engaged girls, step forth and run
around the verandas."
Then there Is n chorus OF giggles, protesta-
lions, denials, accusations and out OF the
confusion four or five girls will emerge and
begin a trot around the verandas Amid
the shouts of glee and often OF surprise a
shrinking damsel will be dragged forth
by her chum in spite of her imploring.
But I'm not ready to announce It yet"
and Is made to join the trotting group.
At Smith the confession takes place at
the class supper. Just before the toasts
the president rises and says:
Here's to the engaged girls Where
are thsy3'
And while every one takes hasty gulp
of lemonade with Strawberries swimming In
it, the affianced maidens come reluctantly
forward and with hands on one another
shoulders begin solemn march around

mon with other lightweight silks such as
have been popular for summer wear, they
are being sold at reduced prices and wise
buying will now give a woman excellent
silk bargains that will be useful another
season, II not later in this season.
The rage for checked effects has been so
great as to warn the wary against investing
In checks for future use, but some OF the
more conservative shot effects, small figure
effects and plain colors are safe investments.
In one shop radium silks that have been
selling at prices from So to 81 yard are
marked down to $3.50 yard and the various
weaves of pongee have also dropped to half
price.
Bargains in linens and cottons and the
silk and cotton materials are offered on
every side, and here again is chance for
the thrifty to lay in treasure trove for next
summer. The extremes of this season are,
of course, likely to die with the season, but

Summer evening frocks Of swiss, null,
batiste and other lingerie materials are
made in all degrees of elaboration and the
most ornate are not always the prettiest.
Much fine lace or embroidery quickly
runs the cost of such frock up to high
figure, but much may be done with tucking
and one of the prettiest lingerie evening
froclss made by a dressmaker, whose
speciality is lingerie frocks, is OF French
null trimmed in groups OF horizontal
tucks and with no other trimming save
a draped bertha hand embroidered and
trimmed in real valenciennes.
Frocks of point d'esprit and other nets
are made into dainty evening frocks with no
trimming at all save tucking, shirring and
frillng of the net, and for a young girl
one Of these simple net dancing frocks
is as practical and pretty as any simple
frock Imaginable
The lowered cotton and silk moussenes
and cotton and silk grenadines are, in
some instances, particularly lovely in col

crumple and loose their freshness readily
they make up into serviceable frocks II
not too complicated to be readily pressed.
These materials and the organdies as

hat OF SAKE blue trimmed IN wings and
velvet ribbon shade darker were all de-
tails noted in passing, and the trim costume
was refreshing sight in the midst OF the
stream Of women wearing mussy white
lingerie blouses allied to dark skirts, and
carrying coats that had proved too warm
for comfort.
Another frock Of the same ssrviceabe
class, but even cooler, was of blue and
black shot radium silk, the blue being
bright enough to give a bright freshness
toned down by the shifting black shadows.
There again were found the inevitable
lingerie chemisette and undersleeves, which
give n becoming touch Of lightness and
GOODNESS to even the darkest frock, but the
opening Mt the throat was in shane and
from it little hand embroidered revers OF
batiste edged with valenciennes turned
back over the blouse. while corresponding
cuffs were on the silk elbow sleeves.
A frock Of this type would be most de-
sirable for any woman who runs into town
occasionally during the summer, or for
any short trip. The short skirt, holero and
lingerie blouse are the usual uniform for
such wear; but, just because this is almost
. uniform, the trim bodice and skirt frock.
