Twenty-four young ladies were graduated
at vassar College on Wednesday; and We read
with pleasure the fact that out OF that whole
number only I'VE were found gifted with such
ignorance and bad taste that they recorded
themselves under their baby names as ANNIE.
NELLIE. BESSIE. and 80 on.
At tho Packer Institute In Brooklyn on the
same day. thirty young ladies were graduated |;
and only one OF them was 30 lost to diguity as
to spell her name childishly: and she instead
OF ELLEN or ELEANOR preferred to appear as
NELLIE. We are sorry for her.
