COMMENCEMENT DAYS
By VIRGINIA CHURCH.
12mo, cloth decorative, illustrated . . . $1. 50
Mrs. Church’s new college story is based on the well- known play of the same name which had such a successful run last season, and it is hard to imagine a more truthful picture of college life than is here depicted. It all happens at that most interesting time of the college girl’s career, Commencement Season, which brings with it a round of receptions, parties, coaching expeditions, Junior Proms, fudge feasts, and the happiest and merriest of times.
There are girls and girls, scores of them, all through the tale, and all interesting ones, too—there’s Kate Wells, the most popular girl of the college, and Lorraine, her chum, quiet, digni- fied and sweet, who plays the role of an indulgent sister. And there’ s the twins; who really ought not to be twins at all, their tastes are so unlike, one preferring men, and the other sports, not to mention the slang g,y masculine girl, who goes in for athletics, and the dainty little college flirt.
Of course there couldn’t be any plot if a man were not allowed to enter in, and as Penny, the roly-poly Freshman, observes — “ It’s nice to see trousers around sometimes, anyway " — some mighty nice chaps are allowed to enter on the scene. Then there are three distinct love affairs in the plot, all in admirable contrast.
Girls who are in school and college will find in “ Commence- ment Days ” types that they have known among their own classmates, graduates will pick out old friends, and older women, whose school days are among their sweetest memories, will find that girl nature is much the same in this day as it was in theirs.
