President of One of the Senior Glasses Gives
Interesting Reasons for Not
Adopting Them

ctOME day perhaps woman will be un.
~ shackled from her inordinate love of
dress (I hope l am dead and gone" by
that day), and then the sex feminine
viii pursue its various vocations and
avocations in some standardized uniform
designed to garb tall and short. thin and
stout blonde and brunette with equal un-
becomingness.
Just what shape this future poly
muriel" will assume can only be at this
time matter of conjecture. 1t may be
that the business women of, let us say,
30 years hence will come to her office in
the morning in a simpllhed Grecian body
covering, made perhaps of four yards Of
cheesecloth at 10 cents a yard or perhaps
q garb a la pajama, such as the Chinese
women Uhey were ever an advanced race)
now wear, will be construed as the proper
attire for commercial occasions.
But as I insinuated parenthetically in
an above paragraph, I'm "agin" uniforms
lat least for women. believe clothes
and the planning and purchasing of them
contribute very definitely to woman's
happiness. OF course, by the same token
It might be argued that they contribute
to her misery. But after all is 1t not bet
ter TO have been happy and suffered for
IL than never to have been happy (sartori-
allyl at all?
But, although the era of uniforms Is
not yet upon us, the high school girls
with all the youthful ardor that they pos
eess-are doing what they can to precipi-
tate the time. Each year more and more
schools succumb to the appeal of democ.
racy. I think that is the high motive
that impels them, and their girls bid their
adieu to the Alma Mater clothed not in
the frilly commencement frock such as
our mothers knew it, but in raiment as
severe and uncompromising as trained
nurses.
OF course, the fine instinct which
prompts girls of wealth to forego the cer-
tain joys of real commencement dress,
costing more than any dress they have
ever had in their lives before because
less fortunate classmates will be shown
up disadvantageously is not to be
sccffed at. This is a fine, big thing
but hearken to what one of the girls who
will graduate this year tells me. She says
that even in those schools where the COM
mencement uniforms have been adopted
the girls buy their dresses anyway and
wear them underneath the uniforms
Could anything be more deliciously fem
mine or ironic than that?
In an exceedingly interesting letter,
this girl. Miss Violetta Sutton, president
of the senior class at the Philadelphia
High School for Girls, upholds the action
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1916-05-19

of her class in voting negatively on the
question of a uniform commencement
gown
Dear MLiss-The question of uniform
gowns has always been one OF vital i'm
portance, and is especially so this year
since two of our sister schools have de
cided to adopt the gowns. We have con
sidered the question, not only among the
girls themselves, but with our principal
Miss Puncheon. who is always eager to
lessen the expenses of the girls. and the
girls unanimously voted against the
gowns.
The idea of the college cap and gown,
such as the William Penn School is about
to adopt, was considered by most of the
girls to be absurd Why pretend to be
what one is not? Perhaps to the com.
merclal graduate who is completing her
course there is n certain glamour about
the collegiate cap and gown; but to the
graduate Of a school like ours, where only
the two preparatory courses, general and
classical, are given, this is not true
"As for the uniform white gown, the
following arguments have been given:
First, every girl gets some light dress for
the summer, no matter what her financial
circumstances may he. and where a regu.
lation gown might prove expensive, n
white dress would not. Then, in a school
like ours, where a comparatively small
number of pupils enables the pupils and
teachers to be on a very friendly basis,
great influence is exerted by the faculty
over the girls in the selection of simple
graduation dresses. We have had 1t i'm
pressed on us that since the graduation
exercises are always held in the morning,
an elaborate dress of the evening gown
type not only makes us conspicuous, but
shows very poor taste.
"I might add as a final argument, and
feel justified in doing so, that wherever
the experiment of uniform gowns has
been tried it has been for the most part
failure, since virtually all of the girls
have gotten new white dresses tc wear
under the gowns. More than one case
can be mentioned where this experiment
has defeated it's purpose and proved
futile
"our present graduating class is very
proud of the way it has minimized the
expense OIL graduation III IeSdlu W IeColu
books, etc, and since every class usually
manages to do better than the preceding
one, we hope that some day the ideal
commencement at the least cost may be
obtained without the girls relinquishing
their white commencement dresses.
"These are the most important argu-
ments offered by our girls. Sincerely,
''VIOLETTA b. SUTTON"
M'LISS.
