SEEN IN THE SHOPS
fpWO ot tho great high achodla of this
'J A clt have declared In favor of a unl-
u fArm costurrie fo their graduates at com-
Swncement. These ore the William Ponn
MtJ the West Philadelphia High Schools.
A ihlrd, just as great, but having the
swtvaniage, or disadvantage, according to
th point of view, of a greater age, the
Girls' High School at 17th and Spring
Garden streets, Voted against the unl
forms.
Because I overheard one prospective
graduate express dissatisfaction at the
thought of having to wear a cap nnd
gown because the majority of a previous
class had gone on record In faVor of suoh
ft costumo, I opened this column to the
discussion of 'tha subject lost Friday.
Interesting letters from the alumnae
nnd from memibers of tho Benlor classes
have coma to mo. With all the ardor and
enthusiasm that youth Is capable of, they
have championed the action of their own
Hlma maters.
"Our costumes are beautiful In their
simplicity,' writes West Philadelphia.
"Our caps and gowns havo tho twofold
virtue of being Inexpensive and becom
ing," boasts Miss William Penn.
"Tou'ro both Wrong," taunts tho Girls
High, "In sinking your Individuality by
making tall and abort, thin and plump go
garbed alike."
The following letter In answer to G. M.
F.'o of the day boforo yesterday presents
tho attitude of the Girls' High very forci
bly, I think:
Bear M'Llsa I presume that send
ing you any more correspondence upon
the cap and gown question will he "carry
ing coals, to Newcastle," but I should Ilka
to express my opinion upon the subject.
The two letters from E. I. E. and G.
M. F., which you published In this eve
ning's edition, amused mo extremely, par
ticularly the point made by G. M. F. with
regard to the domestic sclcnco course
at the William Penn High School. The
refreshing candor with which she states
that this courso "gives tho girls In search
of a husband a handicap" ik delightful.
The day of tho superwoman has ar
rived! She goes forth In search of her
man armed with a domestic science
diploma and a sample applo pie. Doubt
less, the overcrowding of the school of
which G. M. F. speaks Is due to thA al
lurement of this course. The girls at 17th
and Spring Garden streets evidently pre
fer the old-fashioned method and allow
the men to do the "searching."
i believe that tho proportion of mar
riage is quite as largo among the Girls'
High! School graduates as among those
of any of tho rival Bchools.
The Idea of graduation uniforms Is, in
my opinion, extremely bad! that of the
collegiate cap and gown oven worse If
possible.
The cap and gown are an' Insignia of
rank; tho honorary robes that signify that
a college graduate has successfully com
pleted a course and obtained the coveted
degree. They are no moro to bo usurped
by' a high bcIiooI graduato than tho palm
leaves and other regalia of the "Immor
tals." As to tho "Grecian-robed graduates,'' I
cannot speak with absolute conviction,
since I have never seen them. Personally,
I think Grecian robes charming on some
people. Collectively, they may present a
delightful picture; Individually, I nm In
clined to doubt It. This being tho case, I
do not consider tho Idea a good ono.
I believe that the dominant strain In
virtually all women Is to bo becomingly
arrayed, and I defy tho most accom
plished modiste to artistically garb several
hundred graduates of all posstblo types In
"Grecian robes." I may bo wrong, but I
doubt It.
I was graduated from the Girls' High
School a few years ago and then, as now,
rivalry was running high. Tho chargo of
snobbishness against my Alma Mater Is
laughable. G. M. F. Is probably not
aware of the real meaning ot tho word
"snob." According to Webster It Is "ono
who pretends to bo something superior to
what ho Is, a would-be gentleman or
aristocrat." The attitude of tho William
Penn and various other of her sister
schools Is that of tho nouveaux riches
toward tho old-established families. Tho
"snobbishness" Is entirely on their sjde.
The Girls' High School Is a,a old-established
school which does not need tho
"cart and tho trumpet" to advertise Its
superiority. Its position Is assured.
It Is absolutely certain that the grad
uates of the Girls' High School enter the
"great game" with a higher Ideal than
the accumulation of "money."

. Dikr M'Lln I irar jrou 10 to 1 that every

As for rest. I ask any one If the mistress Is

Advertise for a servant to take care of a

AQinij 8 years old was allowed to go
in bathing early In the season. That
night she had a toothache. A hot mustard
foot bath relieved her. Next day the tooth
ached soma more. A mixture ot equal parts
of aconite and iodine, suggested by the
dentist by telephone, was applied to the
gums several times and gave considerable
relief. But she slept little all the following
night, and the third morning she was taken
to the dentist. The dentist Informed her
father that the child had an "ulcerated
tooth," but that it would be dangerous to
do anything to It until the swelling sub
sided. Wo should say here that the den
tlst was a bargain dentist there was no
sterilizer In his office, but he did phenom
enally cheap work.
The fourth night the child grew delirious.
The doctor was summoned. There was no
Ign that the pus was pointing that is,
no "gum boll." The doctor urged Immedi
ate extraction. The parents objected be
cause the dentist had told them It would
be dangerous 1 The child suffered for two
more days and nights. Finally a consul
tation was demanded by the doctor. Coun
sel insisted upon immediate extraction. A
first-class dentist was called In. He agreed.
He extracted the tooth. Pus flawed from
the socket freely. But the child continued
to run a high temperature, have chills and
some delirium. She was anesthetized once
mora on the ninth day, and then It was
found that necrosis of the Jaw bone was
extensive. The dead bone was cleaned out,
the wound drained, but on the 12th day the
child died from blood poisoning acute
septicemia, v
Now, the first dentist in that, case was
responsible for all the trouble. Upon his
fcaad is that ohlld's blood. He told the
parents a vicious He maybe he knew no
better, but If so, he had no right to be
practicing dentistry. But the second den
tist and the family doctor and the surgeon
called in consultation were blamed by all
the "old women!
An "ulcerated tooth" la a misnomer. The
condition Is an abscess, pus at the root of
a diseased tooth. Tho only safe and proper
treatment is prompt drainage of that pus,
either by extraction of the diseased tooth or
by drilling through the tooth. Possibly the

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Denial of Kin
"Won't you please give us more articles
about rheumatism, neuritis and kindred
troubles?
Answer Yes, soon. But "rheumatism"
nnd neuritis are not kin, except that both
affect human beings. "Rheumatism" re
sembles neuritis as much as measles re
sembles hay fever.
No Danger From Clean Consumptive
Is there any danger of living in the same
house with a person who has tuberculosis
"apparently cured?"
Answer Avoid kissing or sleeping with
the patient. There Is no danger from any
case of consumption If the patient Is cleanly.
Fresh Cherries Glace
Did you ever try glace cherries for tho
after-dinner sweet? They are a welcome
change from mints and preserved ginger.
Cherries are in season Just now. Select
firm sweet ones from which the stems have
not been removed. Put a pound of granu
lated sugar Into a perfectly clean porcelaln
lined saucepan with a gill of cold water.
Boll It until It becomes a syrup. Do not
stir during the boiling process. Try the
syrup by dropping a little bit of cold water
Into It occasionally. When it changes to a
brittle candy It Is done. Remove the sauce
pan Immediately from he fire and set In a
larger pan of boiling water. Dip each
cherry quickly into the hot syrup and lay
on waxed paper to dry. If you find your
syrup is becoming too thick before the dip
ping Is over with, add a little boiling- water.
Stand the waxed paper In a warm place to
dry, and a pretty gloss will appear on the
candied cherries.
For the B,oudoir
A dainty spindle-legged side table and a
gilt oval mirror take the place of a dressing
table In one attractive summer home. The
same arrangement is seen in the rnuslo
room, drawing room and boudoir. It is dis
tinctly modern, and effective as well. The
table la low and has a- pair of old-fashioned
candlesticks for the only ornament. The
mirror hangs directly over the table on a
line with the beholding eyes. Toilet articles
may be kept in the shallow drawers of the
table. It is a happy combination of unre
lated objects, such as decorators call the
harmony of three.
Corsets of Faille
The evening corset is fashioned, of various
supple materials. Bilk rubber forms dancing
and outing models. They are Just deep
enough to extend above the waist line and
to outline the hips and. waist Another very
smart style features heavy stockinette, in
pale pastel shades, honed enough to serve
pa -f, support for the- slender figure. The
newgw model shown la made of orchid faille
silk. It may Tw as high pr aa lew as the
dfepits-tagu Toqutr.

Saves the Curtains
"T AM a country woman, and should like
JL to tell how to save thousands of dol
lars' worth of curtains during the spring
housccleanlng. After they are laundered,
Just slip your thimble over the rods. The
curtain rods can then slip through the cur
tains without tearing and bruising tho
threads. . A. E, J."
The simple expedient you describe, al
though not new to the readers of our Corner
Is good enough to Justify another repetition.
Wo thank you for recalling It to our minds
now that wo nre putting up summer cur
tains The thimble must be perfectly clean,
and silver or gold Is preferable to brass
for ths purpose. Brass sometimes leaves
a greenish stain upon a damp fabric.
Butterscotch Pie
"Some time ago I saw a request In our
Corner for butterscotch pie, and as I've
never seen It answered, I'll send one. It Is
delicious and should be better known. One
large cup of light brown sugar, two table
spoons of flour, yolks of two eggs beaten
light, one cup of cold water, pinch of salt,
two tablespoons of melted butter. Mix
sugar and flour, add egg. water, salt and
butter and stir smooth. Cook to a cream
tn a double boiler; add half teaspoon ot
vanilla. Let It cool a little; pour Into a
baked crust; make a meringue from the
egg whites. Beat light, add a level table
spoon of white sugar for each egg and five
drops of lemon 'extract. Whip light and
bake brown In a moderate oven
"MARGARET."
Excellent and novel. We thank you.
Sour Milk in Cakes
"I should like to tell those who are bo
fortunate as to have sour milk and butter
milk to use for baking cake, griddle Cakes,
etc., that I find a level teaspoon ot soda
to a pint of the milk to be the right quan
tity to neutralize the acid. More will
darken the cake and most likely give an
unpleasant taste. This Is leavening enough
for griddle cakes, but cakes, biscuit,
Johnny cake, and so forth, require more
flour, and are Improved by the addition
of a teaspoon ot baking powder to each
cup of milk used. My piecrust Is, I find,
much nicer and more easily baked than in
the usual way; Heat a mixing bowl and
Into It place a cup of lard. Pour over It
half cup of boiling water and chop with a
fork till creamy and free from lumps. Into
this sift three cups of flour, half teaspoon ot
salt, and the same of baking powder. Stir
thoroughly and roll out. This will make
two double piecrusts. Should only one pie
be wanted, wrap the remainder In a piece
of waxed paper and put It In a cold place.
It will keep several days and "no amount of
handling will toughen it. I C. J, S."
Buttermilk Is coming fast Into fashion
as a beverage approved by dietitians and
physicians. Not a drop should be. thrown
Into the swill pall when so many tooth
some and wholesome dishes may be based
upon It. May I drop a warning word to
the housewife In connection with the ad
mlrablo recipes donated by our esteemed
member? Be careful in adding the baking
powder to batter or dough for cake, etc.,
as indicated by our correspondent. The
soda will be enough alkali for the soar milk
In a majority of cases. Too much baking
powder, like an excess of soda, imparts a
bitter flavor to the mixture.
Crackers
"Here are the crackers a correspondent
requested: Sixteen cups of flour (before
sifting), one and one-half cups of lard, two
spoons of baking powder, two spoons of salt,
water enough to make a stiff dough Found
with a mallet or rolling pin for 15 min
utes. Roll thin, cut out and pick with a
fork. Bake in a quick oven until a light
brown. Graham crackers One quart
craham flour, one pint of white flour, one
teaspoon ot salt, half cup shortening, water
to work stiff. Roll out and cut. Prick
vlth a fork. Finely chopped raisins or
dates may be added. I have seen the corn
portieres made as directed by our Corherlte,
and glass beads of all colors and sizes
strung with the natural colored corn. They
are beautiful. MRS. I. H."
The recipes for home-made crackers are
most acceptable. Try the directions given
by our indefatigable member, Mrs. I. H
and tell us of the results.
Drawn Butter Sauce
"I shall be glad if you will tell me how
to make a drawn butter dressing that will
stay melted, as I have had It served me in
restaurants. E. D."
Try this recipe. It has been In use tn
my household for years and Is, I think,
what you want. It is the foundation for
sundry sauces, such as sauce tartare, Hol
landatse. Bechamel, etc Heat two table
spoqnfuls of butter In a saucepan. When
it bbbbles put in all at once two table
spoonfuls ot flour and stir from the side
toward the centre of the pan until the In
gredients are well mixed. Have ready
heated a cup of milk, and to this the "roux"
gradually, and beat to a smooth cream.
Season with white pepper and salt, and, if
you like, a little onion Juice.
Recipe Wanted
The Corner Is on the lookout for trust
worthy recipes. In which buttermilk plays
the principal part. Can anybody of ex
perience, who Is capable of Instructing us,
let us have a recipe for a beverage beloved
ot our grandmothers and called buttermilk
pop?
Dye Spot on Crepe
"Is there anything which will remove a
green dye spot on a white Georgette crepe
waist, caused by a green Jacket
e "K. M. F."
Since the waist Is white, there Is no risk
In using chlorinated soda upon the stain.
Were It colored, the detersive wound would
Injure the body color. Sponge the spot with
the prepared soda kept by every druggist,
leave It on for 10 minutes, rinse In clean
water and lay In the sun to dry. Should a
blur remain, repeat the process, never omit
ting the rinsing.

While still on the subject of weddings
and their proper conduct, one asks ir me
father and mother of the bridegroom have
nny share In the entertainment, Pn-j or
responsibility ot mo weuume .-- ...-
They have not, except In the making out
of the list of the friends and relations
whom they wish to have Invited to the
ceremony this Is their sole responsibility.
Having done this they give the list to the
parents ofvthe prospective bride, who com
pare the list of names with their own and
strike out tho duplicate names. After that
the parents of the bride have the Invita
tions addressed and sent.
Very often the mother of the bride asks
the bridegroom's mother to assist her In
receiving the guests, though there Is no
obligation to do so. Any expense outside
of that Incurred by the bride's family Is
.always met by the bridegroom, ouch as the
ring, the clergyman's fee and the flowers
for the bride and her attendants.

A sort of pronged spoon such as that

to eat them with a spoon.
It Is not conventional for a very young
girl, but these things are done by girls
who have passed the debutante stage by
several years. Formerly It was never
allowable and a girl who did so was Im
mediately labeled as fast, but times and
customs both change. It Is not, however,

No, It Is not customary to carry high
hats nt 6 o clock weddings. In fact, tne
old custom of having the ushers carry silk
lints Is no longer conformed to.
Going up the aisle tho procession should
be led by the ushers, who walk two by
two In time to the wedding march, and
they nre followed by the bridesmaids, who
also walk two by two, Then comes the
mnld of honor, who walks alone In the
centre of tho aisle. If there aro two flower
girls, they follow the maid of honor, ono
on either side of the nlsle Just as the
bridesmaids walk, but If only one flower
girl, Bho walks Just behind the maid of
honor nnd Just before the bride, who comes
last of all, with her nrm linked In that
of her father or whoever Is to give her In
marriage. For the procession going down
tho aisle tho order of things Is reversed.
This time tho bride and bridegroom lead
tho way, the bride leaning on the bride
groom's arm ; then come tho flower girls,
tho maid of honor, bridesmaids and ushers.
In order to make the procession effective
nnd dignified a wide spneo should be left
between the various members of the pro
cession. It is permissible for the best man to
walk down the nlBle with the maid of
honor, though it Is not always done.
Bridal Party Gifts
. Dear Deborah fiusli Will jou kindly tell me
the proper time to Rive the bridal .party the r
gifts nnd If the girls should wear gloves at the
ueddlna? K. A.
Usually tho gifts are presented to tho
members of tho bridal party after tho re
hearsal the night before the wedding.
The wearing of gloves depends largely
on the kind of frock tho bridesmaids have.
If tho dress Is Bleeveless or has very short
sleeves It would seem more respectful to
wear gloves In church, but again If long
sleeves are worn It does not seem neces
sary to wear gloves. It Is really largely
a matter of choice. At many of the wed
dings this season gloves havo not been
worn. The only thing which you should be
posltlvo nbout It Is that all the brides
maids do tho same thing, either all wear
gloves or all not wear them.
