GRADUATION DAY ABOLISHED
Each Pupil Receives Diploma Upon
Completing the Work.

An innovation which promises 10 be
come popular has been introduced by
the management Of Woods Commercial
School There Is no longer any such
thing as commencement day at this in
stitution. A pupil entering the school is
carefully examined n the various
branches OF the course chosen by him and
is given bis diploma upon reaching the
standard OF efficiency established by the
faculty.
The advantages Of this system are OBJ
viouS. Students who are able 10 proceed
rapidly with their studies are not held
back by the slower advancement Of those
whose circumstances prevent close at
tentiOn 10 the course. Under the new ar
rangement the graduation Of pupils is a
matter Of almost weekly occurrence.
Among those who recently received Dip
Tomas are the following Washington peO-
pie: Elmer Edward Allison. 1910 Morse
street northeast; Meyer R. Kraft, -
II street northwest. Eiinor Slater. z34
New Jersey avenue southeast: Gladys O.
JeffordS, 81 A street southeast; Fannie
B. Fincham. 225 Morgan street northwest: (:
Mae A Fowler. so Bryant street north
west. and Ernest J. Stebbing, Congress
Heights.
Educational effort at Woods CONNER
cial School is Of the nature OF a con-
tinuOus performance. The institution sets
the business pace not only for the time
devoted to study. but for after life. Three
hundred and fOrty-seven students were
enrolled during the last year.

Question No. d.

The slim and the rotund ask: "Can I be
properly 6tted?" The answer here is in thou
sands of specially constructed garments, at
soc to 1898. To mothers question the answer
is-Ioc sufices for Childrens Drawers that will
fit we'll and wear we'll. Tucked and Hemstitch-
ed Umbrella Skirts, in sizes up to ID years, are
only 25c; only soc suffices for Skirts with cus-
ter tucks, lace and embroidery founces good
Gowns for girls and boys up to II years are
only 44c; Babies Short Skirts, some with lace
edges, are only 19c; Nainsook Slips are but 25c,
and ten styles of Long and Short Dresses, with
embroidery trimmings, are only soc for choice

OueSti I'm No. S.

How is it that prices here can be less than
prevailing for unreliable lingerie? Because
sheer materials, reliable trimmings and neat
sewing are the primary considerations here
Thus, low-priced lingerie here is only less elab-
crate, not otherwise inferior to the more ex-
pensive. The cheap and vulgar limitations of
expensive garments are not attempted.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-01-10
Question No. 3.

How to best describe the new features of
1909 Lingerie Princess" is the answer, in
one word Slenderness is accentuated- de-
sderatum of today. The Princess la Mode
de Paris has the cores joined with narrow
and at the waist line These garments are here
in two and three pieces-Chemise, Drawers
and Short Petticoat or Chemise and Circular
Drawers. The latter garment. when worn, has
the appearance of short petticoat.

Question No. 2.

How to show with pictures and demon
strate i'll words the reliability of the Lingerie
here. This question is answered with another
has an unreliable garment ever been asso-
ciated with Palais Royal sale? This is the
best answer-beeause both pictures and de-
scriptions can be made to exaggerate Is it
not SO? Has the reader not been entrapped,
at some time or another, with the Lingerie
whose beauty and worth were shattered in the
first process of washing?
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-01-10

Question No. 1.

To introduce the new $4,000 stock Of
Lingerie to the greatest number in the least
possible time is vital question for us. An
swered with complimentary prices for three
days-Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, jan
uary II, II and Is.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-01-10
Question No. 6.

Why should prices Of expensive lingerie,
especially handmade and hand embroidered
French Underwear, be SO very much less than
prevailing? The answer s-primarily because
of "cash business" securing better terms
selling; also because Of the policy, long since
adopted, of doubling the usual sales in halving
the usual profits.

During the day of postponement the patriotism of COL
