Graduation toggery for the smart youth

and frock coat get-up of all smart day fes-
tivities. His gown, with only a slightly
more masculine cut, is of the same serge,
cashmere or bombazine which shapes that

They top iron gray trousers, and are in

The linen of the graduating youth must
positively be pure white. and even a colored
hem to his handkerchief IS thought out of
keeping. The dre.siest cut for the shire
collar is straight high band to which the
black graduation tie of silk or satin gives a
clerical stamp. MARY DEAN

bought by the pound for country trade.
The softest of linen Colors are silhouetted
against white backgrounds in petal designs
or fantastic nouveau art figures. Or on a
colored ground are silhouetted white effects
White handkerchiefs have borders of geo.
metrcai patterns, disks or Grecian designs,
but the pastel pinks and blues and tans
bring out these old patterns in new beauty.
Lavender handkerchiefs show tiny baskets
of flowers in white, or, vice versa, white
kerchiefs show lavender garlands and bou-
quets. These are often outlined by single
white thread. One very unusual design
shows a lavender basket filed with small
flowers in each corner, while scattered in
side the border are tiny butterflies in palest
orange. On other kerchiefs violets or star
flowers, in pink or lavender or blue. form
the colored border and have their petals
buttonholed in silk of the same color.
SILK handkerchefs for men show softest
pastel shades crossed by white lines. Con-
trasting colors are also combined in this
way, an old-blue ground showing light tan
lines or gray ground crossed by lavender

At the colleges there is a tendency to set
aside the pretty white frock for the somber
cap and gown. and effort is always made
to have the gowns of class in one make

even to plain girls. They are worn the
whole of graduation day through, and when
they are dsca rded in the evening pretty

EXCLUSIVE PURSES.

Written for The Star.
Exclusveness is the watchword of the
summer girl. The smart note struck by the
various little accessories of her get-up
makes or mars the success OF her sum-
mer's campaign, particularly among fem
mime rivals. In nothing Will she take more
of her purse, be 1t large small. It's cor
ners must be just little different from
the one carried by the girl next to her. It's
color must be either exactly that of her
gown or some strikingiy new product of the
tanners art. And, above all, it's handle
must bear the stamp of originality.
The general tendency OF all purses is
toward hong and narrow shape. Large
c9rry-all handbags are not infrequently
sixteen inches long and only six or eight
inches deep, while pocketbooks to carry
within the palm of the hand are the length
of a bank bill. Among new colorings in
leather is a serpent green and a combina-
ton of blue and green which gives the eff
feet of a peacock feather. Both large and
small purses have handles to initiate those
on a dress suit case-a fiat strap, held down
by two leather loops. Following the win
ter's innovation in pocketbooks, every new
purse has mirror tucked somewhere about
it and usually the complete outfit of van
ity bag.
Occasional trips to town make large
handbag absolutely Indispensable to the
summer girl The innumerable little neces-
stiles which the country or seaside store
does not supply are brought home in this
spacious receptacle In typical Boston style.
Big bags are bigger than ever. They are
particularly smart in light pigskin or gray
morocco and are lined as were the winter
bags, with daintily lowered Dresden silks.
Large patent kid bags are surrounded by
two straps of the same leather in imitation

The old saying that ITS as good to be
out of the world as out of the fashion
gains truth from year to year. The woman
who will wear apparel of the styles of two
years ago must expect to pass unnoticed by
fashions devotees Even a shirt waist
with sleeves that small at the top sets
nilady apart as one decidedly behind the
times. The sleeve is the index of the style
period and by it we regulate the calendar
of fashion.

The tailor does indeed. hold first place in
fashioning womans apparel, for the street
suit is without doubt the most important
for miady's consideration. Besides the
wooden fabrics there are suits of silk linen
and pongee-all of which must have the
taiors hallmark of gentlity. In the early
spring there are suits of homespun, broad
cloth and Scotch tweeds; then come the tat

Women as Boxers.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
SO the woman who can box, really box
like man. not like other women who dab
bic in the manly art, is to be a feature in
our homes. Or if not in our homes in the
homes of others and so more or less a part
of our surroundings. Only one woman has
yet they say, attained to such proficiency
in boxing that men who teach the science
admit she is worthy of their gloves but
hearing the complimentary things that are
said of her success will set many of her
sisters to striving for honorable mention
And those who succeed Will find them
selves possessed OF. an accomplishment that
in various ways may be of considerable
value. In the first place it cOnduces to good
health, and in the second place it must
make a woman. feel courageous in many
situations where her sex is commonly sup
posed to be scared almost to death Know
ing how to box successfully a woman need
not fear visits from tramps nor encounters
with them on lonely roads; she would be
able to control matters a home and abroad
in a forcible way that former generation
never dreamed of.
