SMITH GRADUATES
PLAN CELEBRATION
Alumnae to Commemorate Semi-

addition to the speeches and greet-
ings from Smith College. Mrs. Ar-
thur E. Wood is chairman of the

type of sleve treatment this year.
The craze for long gloves, in kid,
fabric and lace has made short
sleeves almost necessary as well as
flattering. The soft cape collar,
cap sleeve, and wide bertha will be
seen on many summer dresses. The
collars can be tied softly about the
shoulders, or simply draped from
the neck line.
This year's styles have produced
(or rather, rejuvinated) one touch
which will add still further to the
feminine air of evening wear and
more formal afternoon dresses. The
"petticoat" which was well on its
way to a natural grave in the cur-
iousity chest, has come back, and
in such a charming way as to be
almost irresistible: Taffeta petti-
