4 Little "Of."

The assistant society editor Of the En-
press gets off the following remarks on
the High School commencement, appar-
emily with great JUNCTION to the recent re-
marks ON the subject by that paper:
"A noticeable feature of the exercises
and. at the same time. a most cOmmcnda-
bic one. was the simplicity Of the toilets
of the graduates, all of whom were attired
in similar gowns of excellent but inrXpen-
Sive white material. The only ornaments
worn were SprigS of SmilaX, the class
flower This innovation is one that COM
mendS itself to the emulation of all future
graduates. 1t is an eXampl" which could
be followed not only with great "cOnomi-
cal advantages, but enhances the natural
lOvelineSS of the wearcrS, whose charms.
on the principle of beauty unadOrned is
most adorned, become Superlative."
The sentiment is all right if there was
any probability OF the present and past
custom being corrected. But the married
man who wrote this quotation, should
have known better than to term the
handsome and costly silk dresses worn by
the young ladies gowns of inexpensive
white material"

Miss Winnie Davis.

Congressman Wharton J. Green, of
North Carolina. has furnished for publica-
tlon the following extract from q letter
written by Miss Winnie Davis, daughter CT
the late Hon. ferson Davis. 1t was writ
ten to her mother from Paris. France, about
two months after her fathers death:
THE society of ordinary people is very
tiresome to me- think you and our dar-
ings have spoiled me for the little talk and
aims OF the world Somehow it is ali talk
and no conversation | remember how we
used to discuss the things that were worth
thinking about-thing7 end thoughts that
would help nae to live better and think
higher, but don'J iDd that atmosphere Of
pure thinking aud living Out in society. Do
you suppose that political ezpedieDcy has
psfmea!ed al the inner world CT idess, or
that We are really fallen into Gecadence !?
have TO believe that perhaps 1t is the CID
order giving place to the new and before he
socialism of the next century. The override
yeoped observation-disclosures seishreas isDeces
sary to make smooth the road for the new
political gospel. It cannot be 8 healthy deval-
opment when the poor are starving at every
corner and The luxury of tbs rich is eating
lUtO lnSlf lives uutll thc iC!Htitit anu
with it aIl spirituality, is crushed out by
nure force or uubridled excess cf comfort.
1t may be part of that puritsnism Of which
you accuse NE, but 90 not think it is half
as easy to lead high life in the midst Of
such luxury of comfort as invited in the
modern interior as it was in the oldrashon
ed houses where the Bible was the chief Or
nament Of the parlor. Net that l mean to
81 y that orr amentation is exactly evil, or
simplicity is alone necessary, or luxury
ard religion antagonstic; only somehow
one grows to put false values on things and
to he too bouad by wants of the body. The
soul gathers spiritual dust as the bric-a-brac
does the actual dust. The fact is, am just
in the frame of mind to gee more heroic sac.
rifice in the life of Daniel than that of St.
John. l dol.'l wonder the great prophet
went up three times day to pray toward
Jerusalem. He must have been glad to
leave the corruption OF the court"
