Glue Up Secret Societies,

Secret societies have been abolished
at Mount Holyoke college by a COM
bined vote of the society members
and the faculty. These secret socie-
lies had been in existence in Mount
Holycke for more than twenty-five
years. The dramatic club of the col
lege has bought the American rights
of the pastoral play, Fair Rosa
mond," with a set of costumes and
properties for production. This play
was first given by Lady Archibald
Campbelps pastoral players at the
Cannizaro Woods, Wimbledon com
mon, England. The American rights
were later bought by Mrs. John V.
Pruyn of Albany, who allowed the
play to be given only when the pro-
ceeds were for some hospital work.
After Mrs. Pruyn's death it. was de-
cided to sell the American rights and
stage properties to some college or
ganization rather than to q PROBES

BY the way, Parisians are now de-

sheer cotton material, the yelled
blouse has not been forgotten. These,
in simple lines, are made to have a
new air and suggestion of warmer
days by a relieving touch of embroi-
dered batiste or linen used in place of
laces.
A yoke and cuffs, with an insertion in
the front and back, give springlike air,
The lovely new bordered chiffon, mar
quisettes and crepes are also pressed
into blouse service with excellent re
suits.

A Novel Relish.

Guests at an informal luncheon
were at first puzzled by dainty look
ing relish brought on with the meat.
Not until tasted was the secret re-
vealed, when they discovered that the
crisp, brown little tubes, about two
inches in length, were of celery.
Large, firm stalks were chosen, and
after being cut were dipped in egg
and cracker crumbs, fried in deep fat
or sauteed in butter, and were serv-
ed with a brown sauce In the orig
inal instance this vegetable was
served with fowl. 1t is also nice with
fish creamed in the chatting dish, with
oysters, etc.
