grapher OF Whistler. was asked az a
reception al the Penn club IN Pennsyl
vania. why ne and his brilliant wife
did not 60 out in society more.
This question Mr.. Penneli answered

A famous author he said, attend .
ed a dinner party NJ a very Smar;
house in Grosvenor Square Through
an the chatter and champagne drink

which latter was not mentioned IN the
'Repu3lcan declaration Of principles.
So far as the platforms OF the two

no sharp division OF the Contestants

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
STILL oNE,sIDEo EFFECTS
The Seasons styles Show Trimming
on One Side Only, Both In Dresses

The artistic, unbalanced decoration
of a gown was given full recognition
last year and is enjoying an emphatic
favor for the spring and summer.
When a view of the styles is taken,
the one-sided trimming is very no
ticeable.
Bodices are draped on one side and
plain on the other. They show mate
rials that are distinctly different on
the two sides of the blouse, and but
tons. braid, lace frills. embroidered re-
vers and plaitings are used on one
side TO balance trimming OF an en-
tirely different nature on the other.

Miss Reagan and Miss Field are
seldom found at once in school
Of music.
On the program this year were
only seniors and they showed the
same ability and finish which
they had displayed in them
graduating recitals. Every num-
her was well done and received
rounds of merited applause. The
songs of Miss Brill and Miss

Miss Wettendorf, however are
deserving OF special eommenda-
ton.

FORTY. THIRD ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT
Central College for Women Closes Successful Year
With Brilliant Exercises

The forty-third annual com
mencement exercises of Central
College for Women, which began
Saturday evening with the Art re-
ception, and closed Wednesday
morning with the graduating exer-
cises, terminated one of the most
successful and satisfactory years
IN the history of the college. The
work Of the past year reached a
very high standard. The lit
erary department which has a
Reputation of long standing for
the excellency of its work, fin
ished the year with gratifying re-
suits, covering as it does four
full years of college work, gives
Central College a prestige among
the women's colleges of the west,
The music department. under
the directorship of that most
capable and efficient musician,
Delano f. Conrad, has attained an
enviable reputation among the
e0nserYatories of the country.
The requirements of this depart
ment are such that it's graduates
are not mere mechanical per-
formers, but are imbued with a
thorough knowledge Of the his
tory, harmony and technique of
which Mr.. Conrad is master.
The vocal division, Of the mu-
SIC department receives the same
careful and intelligence super
vision as does the instrumental.
The work of Mrs. Allen has with
stood the criticism of unfriendly
critics. She has established a
system of voice building which
in results has brought to this de-
partment distinction which is
recognized by everyone at AL
familiar with her work. She
believes, and works upon the
theory, that the fundamentals of
the art of singing with the great
est degree of ease and accuracy,
are of supreme Importance, more
50 than a hurried preparation for
the vocalizatlon Of a song.
Art, Expression and Domestic
Science, with their severe re-
quirements, correlatively with
the other departments, completes
the curriculum.
