NIPPON BARONESS
VISITS ALMA MATER
Wife of Admiral Urid Is Re-
viving Old Memories
at VaSSar.

POUGHKEEPSIE, y. Y, June L.
Baroness Uriu is today reviving mem
cries of her college days at Vassar She
is making her first visit there since her
graduation in 1881. She will remain two
days.
Her husband. the admiral, is accom-

shine at that seat of learning only by
reflection, the glories of the occasion
properly centering on the lady.
It was as Shigi Nagai that she attend

Japanese girls. One of them married
Field Marshal Prince Oyama. Another
is Miss Tsuda, of Tokyo. The others
have died.

Those who have wondered that the
baroness seems at ease in Western cos
tune may now understand why. Her
native daintiness of taste serves her
well in this respect, and credit bestowed
on her dressmaker should be shared at
least equally by herself. Visitors and
students at Vassar may hope to get in
spiration in styles from her this week.
In evening costumes her preference runs
TO black or white. in which grace of de-
sign is most effectively Joined with ar
tistic simplicity. The most exquisite
garment of her elaborate Wardro be is
an opera cloak OF Japanese silk crepe
with a deep lace collar, also of native
make The cloak is embroidered with

it might be as early as 6:29, but GER
