Miss Marion Germond of Oshawa has been ente.'alned a great deal to showers and teas in honor of her marriage which is to take place in the very near tu"re, Tables were turned at the Col- legiate last evening when the teachers and a few guests met for a social time instead of for the regular routine of school work. The cafeteria in the new building wae decorated for the occasion and dinner was served at 6.30. The guests numbered fifty. A. W. Bell was the only representative of the Board of Education present, After the address of welcome by Mr, A. E.

Kayley, whose marriage took place during the winter vacation Bridge and dancing comprised the remainder of the evening's enter- tainment. A very pleasant event which took place last evening, was the dance given by the One O'Clock Club, at the Masonic Temple, The club was organized in October and since that time has staged some very successful dances, It is not a Masonic clup as some people are aware, but rather it was merely organized hy several members of the lodges here. It was the inten- tion, at the beginning to hold a dance every month, but the sched- ule has been somewhat altered owing to the success of the first affairs, and of late the club has been holding a dance almost every two weeks, Although, there have been - a larger number of guests than last evening. it was a very charming dance, about seventy-five couples danced to the music sup- plied by Snell's orchestra, The students at the Ontario College of Art aro busily engaged designing and making their cos WOMEN'S CORNER] SPECIAL EXAMINATIONS FOR NURSES Special matriculation for nurses was advocated by Dr. George M.

"Are examinations too easy?" "Are nurses getting too long a training padded out with theory?' "Is the profession overcrowded?" "Would state medicine and nurs- sing solve the medical burdens of the. middle class?" "Is the stan- dard payment adequate?" The an- swers to these and other questions are being sought in the survey.

WOMAN STUDIES BASKET WORK An imbricated basket of Indian workmanship has been donated to the Molson collection of baskets in the Ethnological Museum at McGill University by Mrs. Mark- land Molson, and is the most val- uable specimen contained in this arge and extremcly rare exhibit, Chis particular basket was obtain. #d by the donor on the Pacific Coast some 40 years ago, and re- presents a type of work that is al- most unknown today. It is a per- foct specimen and is in fine con- dition. Mrs. Molson who has been Kind ly interested in basketry for many years, holds the distinction of be- ing the first white person to find ut how the imbricated stitch was lone by the Indian, From her study of this work out oa the pa- cific Coast she was able to give much valuable information to Dr. Otis.

WHITE IS THE THING Word come§ from the Riviera that white is the thing--the white of wool coats, crepe and satin dresses, er- mine and fox furs, while the sleeve less dress of white flourishes again in shantung, in marocain and even in satin, THE LONGER SKIRT The longer skir, which a first was uneven of hep, to break the news gently to us,%has now become frankly longer and of even hemline. It may be anywhere from four in- ches below the knee, to ankle length for the dance, and perhaps support a train at that. We are already dis- carding the very short skirts without remonstrance and there is no question but we will wear the long ones long Skirts also have flare and we are making two yards of goods grow where one grew before, to the delight of fabric dealers. POWDER BLUE A powder blue flannel sports suit for southern wear or spring has a flaring skirt and short jacket with a kind of cut-away closing. The blouse is of white handkerchief linen. CHALLIS BLOUSES France sends us such adorable hand-blocked challis that the vogue is growing for having separate blouses of these made for suit wear. CAPE THEME Capes, cape sleeves and capelets blossom everywhere on short jackets and coats for daytime and wraps for evening. FLARING JACKETS Tailored suits flaunt flaring jackets in many instances, There is a mark- ed high waistline when the flare is sponsored.
