A CHICAGO public school has solved the vex-
ing question of how TO apparel young girl
graduates without arousing envy and bitter
ness on the part of the poorer pupils. The So
luton was simple enough-a uniform style Of
dress was decided upon, the materials were
purchased and the girls were set to work, under
the supervision of a sewing teacher, making
their own frocks. The result was satisfaction
all round and a suitable gown for each of the
thirty-three graduates. The dresses cost about
two dollars apiece Each suit is described as
being composed of killed skirt and jumper
and guimpe of thin white material, trimmed
with lace and medallions. If no other good
comes out of it it will be something worth the
while to teach girl one practical thing-how
to sew a little, if not much.

The CASE Of Annie Wilson. deserted child

directed her efforts. The method was to stroll
along the streets with an old baby carriage in
which the articles taken from the houses were
concealed. The mother of the child had been
sent to prison and she was compelled to live
alone with younger sister in small room.
