Uniforms," one correspondent wrltc3, "are not only more scnslblo nnd more democratic than Individual costumes, but they" are more beautiful." "Any one who opposes graduation uni forms Is a mossback conservative," Is ilia comment of a second. "Instead of boasting of the attitude it i .taken, the Girls' High shouli hang its head In shame' taunts a third. "Come out to our commencement next nonth," Invites a fourth, "and see If you think our uniforms are ugly,' In the heat of tho discussion the point at tho argument Is likely to bo lost sight pf. It Is not a question of whether or not uniforms' are ugly. This depends on lie talon t of tho designer. Many frocks lire Ugly. lJut the point that I tried to bring out in a previous article that I wrote on tho subject Is: Docs a uniform costume en gender tho democratic spirit In a class that Is tho prlmo reason for Us adop tion? In tho opinion of JIIss Sutton It does not. Many girls, she declared, who were bound by tho majority vote of their schools to wear a uniform, wore frilly graduation frocks underneath. This aceracd to mo dcllclously feminine, rather than to portend an Ugly spirit on the part of the girls. And, after all, are girls "really so sen sitive as this Uniform Idea Intimates? I do not believe that tho average sensible American girl Is at all annoyed at the fact that tho classmate who stands next to her at her graduation wears n $25 gown, while she Is parbed In a 5 one made at home. It Is far from my Intention to decry the value of good dressing or tho bene' ftclally psychological effect a becoming gown has on tho wearer. But becoming ness does not mean cxpenslveness, and, although fine feathers do make fine birds, we all know that oven young school girls see beyond clothes. Your nverago girl Is too proud to be envious of mere clothes. She )b too gen erous to resent tho fact that some other girl can afford a more extraxagant frock than she can. And she Is not petty enough, In my estimation, to want to cur tall some ono else's expenditures merely because she herself cannot equal them. Uniform.-), I believe, are very creditable If they havo been adopted because It Is thought a uniform costume will make a noro effective commencement plctorlally. If, however, they have beon choson be cause a girl Is likely to get her feelings hurt by more gorgeous gowns than she herself can obtain, I believe tho Idea Is a "picayune one There will always be competition In tho world: some people will always be richer than others, and some women will always wear moio ex pensive gowns than others. A high school girl Is at the ery threshold of life. When sho crosses tho doorway she will find out theso things for herself. The world does very little to spare one's feelings. Those who find It a good place to live In are the very ones who learn first of all to take Its knocks. M'LISS. s) HK f-fTTA ' ' XKr3tir 'sjJsV$l fmMrMMm.

Garden atreets, class of llilS. The com parison, aa compa.aona usually are. was odloua Uniform robes also do not mako the commence iment exercises unpleasant for the gjrls who cannot afford to spend much money for a gradu ation rown. The eirls may acree not to pay more than a certain sum for their dresses, but few of them keep their agreement. I know this. illga 8utton la very much mistaken when she aVera that most of the girls get new dresses to wear under their robes A few allly girls In the first two classes at West rnlladelphla did this, and following tho exercises remoetl their robes, only to And by tha time they had completed the transfiguration that eery one had departed and there waa no one to show off before Then, too. their doing thta nai so frowned upon by their dasanulea that no one attempted It at the last commencement. Our highly esteemed principal. Sir Parke Bchoch, deserves most of tha credit for first sug gesting mia reature. wnicn the nrat class- at West Phlladelplha unanimously agreed to adopt as soon aa Mr. Henoch pointed out Its mint- aotamages. Li. i. u. Dear M'Llas Some years ago a very capable woman Miss Lmlly L. Graham took what $raa then the commercial department of the High bchool for Ulrls. at 17th and Spring Oar den atreets. and made of It the first commercial hUr'l achool In Philadelphia. Par lta day and feneration that waa a snlpn. did achool. That lu fame still Uvea, although the school ltaelf has been out of existence since l&OO, I know, because frequently tn the "Want Ad" columns I have seen "Commercial High School graduate preferred." However, tlmea change, and schools and methods of teaching have changed very radl cally In the last ten years. Out, of the old Commercial High School grew the gteat William Penn High bchool. This Is t, a. composite school, the very newest type of high school. ..It will trepare a girl for any college In the United Statis or elsewhere, for that matter. It prepaTea gtrls for the Philadelphia Nor mal School. It has an excellent domestic science course that gives girls In search of husbands decided handicaps, and that la also a preparatory course lor girls who wish to teach household etonoinlcs Jr to become dreasmakefa, milliners or expert letUlana. It -has a splendid course In salesmanship. ' And it haa a mighty line commercial course. t know It. because I took It. Each of these courses takes four years to complete. Each la very elastic. At William Penn they adapt the work to the girl, not vice Versa. The special work of each course, however. Is subservient to the studies requisite for a thor ough, well-rounded-out high school training. 1he William Penn Hlah School Alu-nnaa has more than 1100 members. We have a mugatlne rgicai ii an endowed bed pita! for the use of pur members and a beautiful Giuoroom in me aicou iiouse, expect to buy a clubhouse. Alt this la simply preliminary rcaiir Divi on my mino. asi irriaay evening tou published n the Medtco-Chlrurglca In two years we to what I letter from Miss Vloletta D. Sutton, of the old 17th oi. anent tne subject of graduation street schoo uniforms. There were Just one or two things In lost letter mat i aiun't like, not lo mention the general tone of the letter as a whole. This para graph, for Instance The Idea of the college cap and gown, such aa tt)a William Penn School Is about to adopt. was considered by moat of the girls to be ab surd. Why pretend to be what one Is not? Perhaps to the commercial graduate who Is completing her course there la a certain glamour about me rouegiaia cap ana gown; nut to me fraduate of a school like aura where only the wo preparatory couraes general and classical, are given, this la not true." ffooody pretenda that auch a uniform Is a collegiate cap and gown Jt Is simply a rather attractive unl'orm, and I suppose the girls chose It because they could think of no other at once so good looking and Inexpensive Then that "glamour" dig annoys me consider ably I would have Miss Mutton understand that William Penn commercial girls have an education and home training Just am good as the girls at the 17tb street school then they all enter high school That they specialize In differ ent Unea pf work makes really little difference has oMInnsly mrl"nl,rd nn.'"'f of ii, mm mencementi i nro held In the middle of winter.

Hang had a good many words to say In regard to the .tedding reception, perhaps a few about seeing the bride and bridegroom off on their wedding Journey would not be amiss, for very often this going off on their honeymoon Journey is spoiled by the vul garity of friends who forget good manners In order to play Jokes on the newly wedded pair. An old custom which has come down to U3 through many jears is that of tying an old shoe for good luck to the back of the carriage or motor In which the young people are to drive to the station, nnd rice and con fetti are usually showered upon their de voted heads as they dash through the hill on their way to their conveyance But the demonstrations should stop right there Any attempt to follow them and to mark up their baggage, and throw rite and con fetti In the train windows at them Is the height of bad taste and should not be tolerated 'It Is In keeping with the wed ding to liae theso demonstrations at the house, and It Is not only Ill-bred, but un kind, to carry them any further And prac tical Jokes often lead to serious accidents, as at one function last year, when the ush ers removed the seat from a motorcar and the little bride, dashing into the car. landed on the floor and Injured her spine so badly that she was laid up in the hospital for three weeks and so had no wedding trip at all. but great suffering to endure Oxfords for Bridegroom Dear Deborah Rush Please answer In "Good Form" If a plain toe patent leather oxford tie shoe would answer for a bridegroom lu wear Instead of black pumps.
