The tobacco habit grows on a man I'M

GIRL GRADUATES ESSAYS
A Welcome Innovation in School
Commencement Exercises.


Writing of "Girls and Literary Cal
isthenics, " in May Ladies Home Jour
nal, Edward w. Box directs attention
to the literary features ofgirls' schools
commencement exercises, especially
the subjects for essays chosen for or
by graduating students, which he
holds, in very many instances, are
entirely inappropriate. Mr.. Box
writes that when the parents and
friends of the graduates assemble to
see the honors of the school year COM
ing to their girls it is only natural
that they should wish to get some as
surance that the money devoted and
the time given to their education shall |
not have been for naught But do
not think that these parents take the
slightest pleasure in seeing their
daughters wrestle with the topics Civ
en- them for their essays-topics that
are nearly always far beyond the ken
or conception of girlhood. I took the
pains last June to carefully follow the
report of commandments in different
parts of our country, and the mistaken
topics discussed in graduating essays
were something remarkable.
Among the topics referred to he
cites "a History of Civilization, =
Republic versus Monarchy" Trad
es' Unions and Monopoly for Labor,
"The Negro and His Right to Vote, "
and others quite as inappropriate for
girls to write upon. Mr.. Box con-
tends that There are plenty OF topics
to be found in the realms of history,
art, astronomy, literature or music,
which, if commencement essays are
deemed necessary-an to my mind,
they are not-can be far more wisely
or accertably discussed than those re-
ferred to. But why have commence
ment essays at alp For the most part
they bore the audience rather than in
terest lit-and bore the girls who read
them, too, l fancy. In several of the
colleges, whose commencement pro-
grams for last year lie before me, /
notice that the traditional essays are
ommited, and simply general exer-I
cises were followed; or an address by
a prominent educator was given.
The change is welcome one, and
the principals of colleges Throughout
the country will be wise if they imi
tate the examples of these leaders"

The Roman Or block letter is beco1n-
ing more popular as the style Of en-
craving for visiting card plates. while
the fashiouably thin card of two-sheet
quality is emently proper. Cards for
both men and women are considerably
smaller, and the script engraving is
finer IN consequence. following more
closely the English style than the
Partisan, which is large and with
hourishes. The block or Roman let
ter plate is very English, and with
those affecting London styles it finds
great favor. The price more than
doubles that of script engraving.
Ladies use the block style now on
their cards for teas and receptions, as
it admits of the necessary engraving
of days within smaller space than
the script. and enables smaller card
being used. May Ladies Home Jour
