ever spent for higher education
was a thousand times vindicated
and justified" In conclusion, Dr..
Odell said:
But it is clear that the work of
the college is not finished with the
mufiing of the guns. The war
brought a hundred complications
which must be worked out in the
days that lie Immediately ahead of
us. In this little State, our own
college must dedicate itself to
realizing all that democracy means
for its citizen body, and I believe
through the clear-visioned liberal
ity Of the legislature and the gen.
crosby Of individuals, your splen-
did institution will always be a
pioneer in the things that make
for the highest Americanism and
the best humanity"
1t would not be fair, neither
would it be true, to say that the
young men from our colleges and
universities were more courageous
than men from other walks or life.
Our entire army was conspicuous
for valor of the highest type. When
the occasion arose for some pecul-
iarly intrepid enterprise, when a
hazardous raid had to be made up
on the Huns trenches or a machine
gun nest had to be cleared from a
distant piece of woodland, or a
desperate rear guard action had to
be fought to cover realignment
of our forces, the enlisted man
from the city slum or the lonely
countryside, the common man, if
you like, was just as reckless in his
courage as his more cultivated
brother from the college campus.
The concluding address was de-
livered by Secretary of State
Everett c. Johnson, of the class
of 1899. Speaking of the practical
Interpretation to be made of the
lives lost, he appealed for a more
active participation by the college
in the affairs of the State and ma
tion. LET us Of this town lay aside
stilted creeds, academic theories,
petty and sordid chickering's, and
live truly the life of freedom,
thought and action. Let us never
again slip back into the sordid sell
fishness and narrowness of yester-
day. Let us carry on"
A service flag bearing eight gold
stars was presented to the college
on behalf of the Alumni Associa-
tion by w. R. Edgar of the class of
1910.
Rev. P. A. Brennan offered a
prayer for the dead and Rev. w.
J, Rowan pronounced the benedic-
tion.

The Colleges and the Nation in

sense the colleges had contributed
more than any other single source
toward the winning of the war, be-
cause they led the country to the
realization of Germans threat
against civilization. A proof of
the early recognition of the war
by the colleges as a fight for de-
mocracy, DR.. Odell spoke of the
large number of college men who
entered the Allied armies while the
United States was yet neutral.
Speaking of the part the colleges

after the present supply is sold out"
The reason is, according to an au-
ihoritatiye trade magazine which gives
out the information: THAT silk
fabrics are in such short supply that
manufacturers, having pretty nearly
used up the silks on hand, are doubt
ful Of their ability to secure a further
adequate supply" And II they can
not. what then? What is going to
take the place of the fascinating, be-
loved silk undies?
But resourceful fashion always
finds a way. Already she has evinced
an Indifference in the matter OF silk
undergarments and has asserted her
new and ardent interest in garments
OF fine linen for intimate wear. The
most exclusive undies now are Of
sheer cobwebby linen in eXqulsiteiy
delicate tints and these "pretties," as
the Englishwoman calls under-attire.
are trimmed with flet, Irish crochet
and real Valenciennes and are dainti-
fed with hand stitchery and hand
tucking. SO beautiful and appealing
are the new undergarments Of cob
webby linen that they make gar
ments Of glistening satin and crepe de
chine look just bit over-sumptuous
and-as one woman puts II: Deml-
mondish. So perhaps, though the
manufacturers Of silk underwear
show agitation and dismay. fashion
has settled the matter very nicely.
For linen Is now obtainable-as it was
not during the years Of the war-and
every day more yards of the beautiful
fabric fresh, soft. slistening and fairy
fine, are being turned off rhe looms.
Several articles of fine linen under
wear are shown in an Illustration

'pretties" as the English girl would
callsthem. The simple lines and eX-
quisite daintiness and feminity of
these garments are notable. They
have an exclusive distinction not
found in even the most elaborate gar
ments Of silk and lace. on the seated
figure in the picture is a nightgown Of
sheer handkerchief linen in delicate
flesh tint. The garment is entirely
hand made and its lines are very
graceful. Above the hem. at the foot,

Another picture shows the new two
piece sleeping garment of white linen,
so smart in line. so beautifully fresh
and dainty in its simplicity that lace
! or embroidery in trimming would
seem superfuity. The slipover tunic
has flaring, short sleeves and con-
venient pocket for a kerchief. The
trousers end in crisp hens, turned UP
to form cuffs. Some OF these sleep
ing-suits come in delicate color but

tiest, and the broad hems. set in by
hand. add to the distinction of the
garment.
Silkolino underwear is a compro-
mise the manufacturers promise. In
deed there are silkoline undies already
IN the market, and as somebody re-
marks: "They are really not so bad!"
They feel as soft as silk in the hand
but have not the sleek feel" OF silk

satisfactorily as fine linen garments.
But there is q prettiness and a soft
ness about the silkoline chemises and
combinations which will have its ap-
peal and q set of this underwear,
daintiy boxed, will make an attrac-
tive Christmas gift. Wolfe undergar-
ments are shown also In the pre-
Christmas displays. Some of the voile
models are elaborately trimmed with
lace and are sheer and dainty in ap-
pearance. A volle nightgown in flesh

woven with silk threads. One of the
Christmas chemlses is pictured--and
surely any woman who receives such
dainty garment among her Christ
mas packages will have reason for de-
light. The chemise Is made OF flesh

forming the top is turned ever to
