but two rows of the shocking will be
required to form it. The neck is cut
low and square; not low enough to

ment is made in one and the yoke de-
fined only by shocking. On the left
side Is placed a streamered rosette of
ribbon. If desired row or two of
shocking may be put about the bot
toms of the sleeves. White thread
and not silk should be used for smock-
ing, as silk will yellow and form an
unsightly contrast with the white ma

Sporting clothes are matter of the

taken up by women means an addi-

ditional costumes, in the summer out
fit. Dressing the part is the corner
stone of the average woman's interest
in sports, and though each year the
designers turn out sporting costumes
more appropriate as well as more be-
coming than those of the previous

PERSONAL
KETTLES AND TUBS
FOR TECH HIGH PROF .
Just Part of Little Kitchen Shower
Given in Honor Of
MIR. Rees

Newly married professors at Tech
nical high school are lucky fellows.
Professor Jesse +. Rees, who joined
the double team class last week, was
shown this fact this morning, when
the boys at the school gave him real
kitchen shower at the chapel exer-
cises
Professor Rees thought nothing of
peared in their place at chapel. A
changed suddenly from a hymn
to a more stately rendition of the
"Lohengrin" bridal chorus, and as the
entire crowd of Tech boys hummed
Here comes the bride" twenty stall
wart seniors staggered down the aisles
to a place in front of Professor Rees.
Each one had arms filled with tin
pans, dish pans, frying pans, brooms,
tub, coal scuttles, rolling pins and
endless other articles for use in the
Rees kitchen.
AS the professor looked in amaze
ment at the procession the boys laid
their burden at his feet in huge pile
and Basil Title, in a speech of pres
entation, handed over to him each one
of the seventy-fve articles. When
Professor Rees had recovered suffl-
ciently to respond he gave an invita-
ton to the unmarried members of the
faculty to join the ranks and the boys
cheered the two members referred to.
Professor Rees will have to hire a
wagon to haul his collection of kitchen
utensils home to Mrs. Rees, who was
Miss Fan Keet.
