A Lesson TO Graduates.

An Ohio paper says that young lady
who graduated in calico dress few
years ago is now married to railroad
superintendent who has an income of
$500, 0O0 year. This may be taken as
a basis for the regulation of graduating
dress hereafter. Had she worn alpaca
she might have done even better, and
caught the general manager of the road.
On the other hand, had she bloomed
forth in white swiss, she might have
captured the President of the concern,
with his untold millions, while had she
worn silk, with point lace and diamonds,
she might have scooped in the conductor
of a passenger tram, and had onyx
staircases aud alabaster walls to her
house, and cut the wives of the officers
OF the road as society altogether too thin
for her style. This thing ought to be n

warning to patronize their tailors liberal
