THIS is EXAMINATION WEEK

Washburn college is planning a fit
ting memorial to the graduates and
former students who were in the mill
tary or naval service of the country
during the war. Those who are fos-
tering the idea have had a number
of suggestions for an adequate per-
manent memorial. Some of them call
for an archway over one of the streets
on the campus. Others, desire mon
ument, while many prefer a building
which would be a fitting tribute to the
soldiers and sailors, and at the same
time be put to some practical use by
the college.
On alumni day. June II, the ex-
rah rah boys and girls, from those just
out of school to the ones with gray
hair on their heads, or no hair at all,
will discuss informally this idea. Ev-
cry one on College Hill is in accord
with the proposed movement, and the
sons and daughters of Old Ichabod

With the beginning Of the season
suits and dresses were presented in
, variety Of silhouettes. and now that
the midseason is here, the public has
declared its preference. Wide-hip, erin.
oline and peg-top outlines captured
and held their devotees, but high
percentage Of well-dressed people
pinned their faith to lines almost un-
broken in suits, in dresses, and more
particularly In evening gowns. No
new aspirant has disturbed the stabil-
ity of the straight-line suit, and now
that manufacturers have tested out
the public, that is the one thing they
are entirely sure Of. Therefore such
new suits as they are turning out for
present sale are variations Of the
straight-ltne models.
"Straight line" is not to be taken
too literally. It means a silhouette
having little definition at the waist
line. Such as there is results from
belts and girdles and not from fitting.

ring Lingerie Straps From One
Garment to Another.

Lingerie straps, which can be trans
ferred from one undie to another by
simply unsnapping the snap fasteners
are dainty things to give and handy
things to have.
You might make them of batiste and
trim them with fine cross-stitching in
pastel cOlOrs. You might hemstitch
them in colors, or you might button
hole the edges.
Then you might make them Of satin
white washable satin preferably.
These are very attractive when they
are trimmed with small chiffon flow
ers just where they are snapped to
the garment.
Ribbon may also be used. French
knots in pastel colors or small embroi-
dered dots will lend themselves very
successfully as means Of trimming
these straps.
The homeliest camisole or teddy
bear may be made attractive by an at
tractive pair of shoulder straps. They
are distinct convenience, for they
are held securely in place and will not
necessitate such inconvenience as re-
moving ones clothes to refasten, as
one has to do when ones sewed-on

JET POPULAR AS TRIMMING
Novel Designs, In Fringes and In

Some frocks are showing a great
deal Of ornamentation. There Is much
beading to be seen in various forms,
the trail of hand embroidery is found
in the land of fashion, and other forms
Of artistic decoration. Yes, trimmings
are here, and yet so harmonious and
logical are most Of them that we are
scarcely aware they belong to that
one-time overornate and lugubrious
thing-trimmings.
Jet has a stellar role to play. We
find Jet in fiat banding, Ia novel de-
signs, in fringes and other characters.
Pearl trimmings are lovely now on
evening gowns, and Jet or pearl
strands for shoulder straps are the
mode for these formal costumes.
But the trimming Of all trimmings
is the one that is we'll selected for the
style of frock 1t is to decorate

more individual, without detracting
from its sffnplicity-and when artis-
tically applied it often spells the en-
