Roman stripes have invaded the field
of mems attire, and we see white or
cOlored soft hats with bands in these
gay colors. They are chosen chiefly
by the young men or college boys.
Bias bands of black silk for heading
ruffles or plaitings are very can
venient in adjusting the hosts of trim
mings of this kind that abound this
fall.
Dark brown hat, furs and gloves per-
ceptibly enrich the suit of tan and
brown plaids.
Palest blue silk lines every part of
an infants tiny hooded cape of white
cashmere. The lining shows through
family. giving the whole garment
blue white tinge.
Almost any color effect that one de-
sires in a sheer evening gown may be
produced by the skillful selection of
the shade of the several colored
chiffon slips over which it is hung;
some young women have already
brought out some unique and tasteful
gowns by following this mode.
All the varying soft shades of gray
are popular among the veilings, and
they prove almost universally becom-
ing.
Heavy organisations of deep yellow
lace appear on one of the choice tucked
net blouses for theater wear.
Gold-rimmed velvet buttons are one
of the best selections for trimming the
long separate coat of dark blue cloth.

A pleasant gathering last evening
was at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Ogren, when Mrs. Ogren and DR..
Stewart entertained the members of
the Wesley faculty and trustees to-
gether with few friends. Prof. and
Mrs. Stout contributed greatly to the
evenings pleasure with musical selec-
tons, as old Miss Leonard who rem
dered a number of solos. Mrs. A. 8.

A dainty luncheon was served, and the
evening spent informally. giving the
guests the opportunity of becoming
better acquainted.

appropriately decorated, and the eve

Another of the numerous happy
functions given in honor of an old-time
favorite in Grand Forks society, Mrs.
NJ. Van Kirk, that drew together a
number of the old regime, was that
given on Thursday afternoon by Mrs.
w. H. Standish and Mrs. Crandall in
Mrs. Standish's apartments, in the
New Hampshire flats. There were
twenty guests. and the function took
on the nature of 'thimble bee,' and
as the needles flew ever dainty bits
of fancy work, many were the remin-
