Literary Notes

A curious coincidence which may be Of
interest to followers of the doctrine Of
transmigration is that Robert Halifax,
the new English novelist. whose stories
have so strongly reminded many OF Dick
ems, was born in the year Dickens died.
Unfortunately, there are few data at
hand to enable the investigator of psy-
chic phenomena to discover the truth OF
the matter, but at least any one with

But are any Of the Commencement
gowns not yet planned? Possibly many
of them are now hanging in the closet.
Suitable dresses for Commencement
time has long been a debated theme
School boards and teachers commonly
work for simplicity. They feel that pub
lie schools are democratic institution,
and that the clothes for the final doings
should be planned on a democratic basis.
During recent years, in response to this
idea, many Commandments have been
held where girls appeared in gowns costing
St.99 or S2.7S or other reasonable figures
The greatest difficulty in carrying out
this program appears to be from the
families for whose benefit the simple
gown crusade was started. The wealthy
are usually willing to dress their girls
simply. They have plenty of other
chances for display Others who can less
afford splurge al apt to vote for fuss
