Has Now Arrived to Consider School Graduation Gown

themselves who have enacted the
rules. %0ften these rules are based
largely on consideration of expense
often to avoid the cIashing extremes
that would be adopted by94sotfe' of
the young women if left to the. dis
play OF their. own taste. Extremes
that are all very. well at dsnces, re-
ceptions, for tea or the USUAL social
activities amount almost to crudf-
ties when girls are grouped. together
like peas in a pod or soldiers march
ing of to camp. - aS,;5ss% .t d +.
But even school principals and di-
rectresses, whose business IT. seems
to be to maintain a considerable prim-
ness in their attitude. toward girls,
clothes, have become Injured to many
things that would have shocked them
into speechlessness fifteen years ago.
Here and there is a college or
boarding school where the rule is for
white frocks- of the sort that we call
sport for class day. possibly also for
commencement. This usually means
a separate skirt and a rather man
nish blouse. This doubtless has
marked attractions for the girl who
must count every penny. But in the
main the class-day frock as well as
the one chosen for commencement
is daintier, softer, more feminine.
**
THE girl who must plan her ward
robe with care selects a frock
that will do for summer evening
dances or garden parties for several
months to come.
With the academic gown which is
worn in most of the colleges 1t is
desirable to have a frock that is
quite thin, because the gown itself Is
a burden on most June days: Sleeve
lessness is an advantage. While girls
of another generation wanted their
gowns to touch the ground and liked
the effect of skirt fiounces that bill
lowed out beneath like an inverted
morning glory, the girl of today has
her academic gown cut at least a
foot from the ground, and sees to it
that the frock beneath is Of the same
length. Fine points are drawn in
these matters, even by the girl who
has chosen to develop her intellect.
While to some the effect Of an inch
or so of white skirt showing beneath
the academic gown is attractive, the
majority verdict Is in favor Of even
hem lines.
And here is a point worth remem-
bering. Academic gowns are provided
with black cords to fasten them SO
that they will not droop at the shoul-
ders. For commencement day substi-
tute white tape for this black cord,
or ugly marks will be found on the
frock at the shoulders. Moreover,
the white cords can be better con-
cealed against the white frock. The
very fastidious girl uses white satin
ribbon, and then it doesn't matter if
some of it shows.
Almost all OF the thin white frockS
this summer show no sleeves. 1t is,
however, a rather simple task to put
sleeves into sleeveless gown
sleeves which will In all probability
be removed when the gown goes into
regular service in the wardrobe.
The time was when a young girl,
If left to her own choosing. was quite
apt to select styles too old, too ma
ture, too sophisticated. The girl of
today seems to run into no such err
ror. The simpler frocks appeal to
her. She wants to look Juvenile. 1t
is a part OF little joke OF hers that
she should look like a. slightly en-

Flags of the Ancients.

FLAGS have been used in almost
all ages and countries and have
always been held in high esteem. In
ancient Rome especially was the VEN
GRAFTON attached to them scarcely in
ferior to that which people of mod
ern times attach TO their national
emblems.
In Rome the highest emblem of the
sort was the standard capped with an
eagle Strictly speaking, it was not
so much national as d legionary
military emblem, but it was consid-
cred great point of honor to pre-
vent the standard from falling into
the hands of the enemy; and standard
bearers would sacrifice their lives
rather than allow such a thing to
happen. And yet at times, in case of
extreme danger, the generals them
selves would throw the standards into
the ranks OF the enemy to divert at
tention. A wounded standard bearer
would. if possible, deliver the stand
ard into the hands of the general from
whom he received il.
Other divisions of the army had
their own distinctive flags, banners
and devices. down to the Centuries"
led by centurious (the equivalent OF
our lieutenantsJ.
In times of peace there was natur-
ally as much veneration bestowed
upon the standards by the populace
as IN time Of war. except perhaps
upon those standards which. beneath
the eagle, carried a painted head OF
the emperor. As it became custom
to defy the emperors. even before
their death, these pictures were as
much the object of religious venera-
tion as were those OF Jupiter, Juno or
Of any Of the other gods or goddesses.

First Peace Pine.

The Indian tribes of O-jib-weh, OF.
tawah and Pottawatomie were one
time at war. So deadly were the
foes that If member Of one tribe
had spied one OF the other 1t would
have meant. battle to the death.
Now it chanced one night that the
three mighty chiefs Of these nations
each went out into the forest for a
few hours of meditation and rest.
1t was very. dark, so none Of the
three observed the ,moccasined ap-
proach of. the other.
In the center Of the forest stood
a giant oak tree with four enormous
roots, one growing toward the north,
one toward the south, one east and
one west. Now as the three chiefs
came upon the tree, each from the
direction Of his own land, they paus-
ed between the high root walls of the
tree and each prepared himself
bed on his side without the knowl-
edge OF anybody else's being there.
The three slept till dawn, when an
angel messenger appeared and wax
ened them from their slumbers. The
angel ordered the Pottawatomie to fill
his pipe and light it. When the old
chief was told to pass his pipe on
to an enemy on the next side of the
tree he was filled with surprise and
anger. But one did not dare dispute
the command of m angel.from the
Great Spirit, so the chief gave the
pipe to his neighbor. who smoked it,
then offered it to the third. When
each In turn had smoked the pipe Of;
peace they agreed that old hatreds
were forgotten and that the Indian
wars were at an end. Then the angel
said that some day a white man
should come to fill the gap on the
fourth side Of the tree and that the
three tribes must extend the peace
pipe to him In order that his follow

Volcano Has Subcrater.

TT is reported that within the crater
OF Mount Mazama, Oregon, is a
subcrater which forms an island in
the midst of Crater lake. The lake
is surrounded by the high volcanic
rim Of the mountain, the water filing
in the opening which once spouted
fiery lava and desolated the surround
ing territory. Wizard Island, the sub
crater, has long puzzled scientists.
It Is heavily wooded. and the crater
within, which rises nearly 500 feet
above the level of the lake. is filled
with snow the year round. How deep
it is has never been ascertained. The
lake around the inside crater is about
1000 feet deep, with wonderfully clear
water. The mountain is in the cen
ter Of the national park, which was
not long ago set aside.

fesh-colored stockings are. even worn
with gray slippers in preference to
gray stockings. The question has
even come up as to whether or not
f1esh-colored stockings would be per-
mitted in mourning, since black stock

From the point of view of good
taste rather than that of fashion
