Dorothy Hazel McCoy's "Description of a Person" was applauded more heartily than per haps any other number offered, because, until almost the last word, the large audience thought she was describing a member of the class, but when the name was mentioned, and found to be that of a prominent teacher, well known, the uproar became almost deafening. John William Grimes, who had at tended a sesgion of the legislature just recently, gave a vivid description of how the sights impressed him. The speaker of the evening was the Rev. A. K. Wier, pastor of Centenary United Brethren church.

Usuully they prove to be for the attack on some enemy. Thoreau speaks of the crows "burst ing up above the woods where they were perching like the black fragments of a powder mill Just exploded." When they are gathered for war purposes their cries will lead you to the spot where they are fighting, and these same bursts of black fragments above the trees, usually following an especial uproar of cawing, wili direct you to the center of the battle. Waiter King Stone, the illustrator, and Charles Livingston Bull have told me of a mobilisation they once wit nessed, when the crows gathered for hours and the two observers were able to penetrate the woods to the exact spot beneath the feathered explosions. There they found a great horned owl flying low in the trees with a- dead crow in his talons. Whether this wns the original cause of the battle or whether he had grabbed the crow in one of the descents of the birds about his head they, of course, could not say. He was evidently struggling to find a dead tree where he could erhaps, to diversify the net models or for the few who do not care for such transparent material as the net. As the styles themselves hint of old time fashions so these textures, have their origin in the modes of from 1840 to 1850, Sheer Swiss, plain and em hroidered, batiste, point d'esprit or gandy and dimiiv show to goo Powder. cnnes lace is applied; also on the skirt, in a Grecian border above the hem. Primness, the chief charm of the frock, i» again in evidence in the broad girdle of moire ribbon, brought straight around the Empire waistline and fin ished at the back with a flat bow and long streamers. Gloves, for the graduation frock, Hre generally of plain silk. Many well-to do mothers are buying their daughters' silk gloves in place of the formal white kid; the effect is more girlish and they are much cooler for warm weather. To be .cure there are fancy models shown and in good taste, too". A silk glove, pin tucked around and around the wrist, a half-inch apaTt, or delicately embroid ered, mpy he worn; the new lace gloves, too, is perfectly appropriate for the girl grad nate. The medium heel on the shoes is another feature of the fashions shown for graduation that the mother, at least, will like. These appear, slightlv curved in the approved French style,"on slip pers of white kid with colonial buckles and on white satin pumps with flowers in front to match the flower of the frock. This makes one think that the makers of slippers and the makers of frocks have held some secret sessions this season. Nor are the styles confined alone to white; black patent leather is considered equally appropriate for the graduate, especially if worn with white stockings. There is a pretty model shown with flat heel and crossed laces of ribbon, which brings to mind Crino line days, when tiny slippered feet peeped from beneath the folds of the hoop skirt. The Day of Days Demands a Simple Girlish Frock, Such u the Empire Now in lashion The simplicity of the fashions al lows but little jewelry. Such touches as a string of pearls, a torquoise locket, or a heavy gold bracelet, are employed to give the desired old-time atmosphere. The hair, however, is decidedly modern, but so artistic that it in nowise spoils the quaiutuess of the costume. The bobbed effect is the most .popular coiffure for the young girl. This may sound as if the younger generation are recklessly cutting off their hair; do not be misled for such is not »ne case. Some clever Miss lately conceived the idea of combing her hair back straight in front, low over the ears and wind ing it in a loose coil in back. Her friend copied it and now all the young girls have the effect of the Castle clip without the "clip" and the originator of the fad, who cut her hair close, envies them their long tresses. Since the first girl wound her hair in this knot in back, so many have adopted the mode that pins have been especially designated for the knot. They consist of a single straight spike with ball or slender triangular top of amber, jet or tortoise shell. Poignards, the French call them; in plain English they are dashers. One of these pins will hold the knot firmly and is a fitting finish for a young girl's coiffure; more, Dame Fash ion taboos as poor taste.
