MARY'S ACADEMY, THY TWENTIETH COMMENCEMENT, Hpectal Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune, St. Mant's, Souru Bexv, Jud, June 23.— Twenty years ago, when it became fantdonable for London acholarn to givo ‘‘lecturea” to In- diss, instead of permitting them to go to school, on the French principle, I suppor, tint ladies ehould be inatructod but pot learned, a certain Professor strongly doubting the capacity of tho sox to receive instruction like other peo- ple, illustrated bydrodynamics ta a ladies’ claen by eprinkling cologne over thom, Such s man would hare his conceit carilyremaved by attend- Ing a Commencement at this academy. Judging by the facos, tha cesara, tho convoraation, the music, and the drens of theso young wemen, no man could teach them eclonce in avy but ortho- dox sciontific mothode. BPPAKING OF DNE&s, T must atick a pin there, as the modiste would gay. A Chicago woman, commenting on tha re- cent discussion in the city papers on graduation extravagance, declarod, with rome velemonce, that there are throe great occasiony in evory girl's life.—when sho gradustes, when she gets mamicd, ~ and when eho dics—and that families ought to be willing to make eacrifices for this trinity of clinaxes. Without waiting to comment on’ tho philosophy of tho classification, I basten to note that thera ig one sacrifice which St, Mary's graduatos would not mako, avon for qadnation—that of tarte. Tholr toilettes wero stylish, of course, out the inaanity of style—tho close-rosf— which Ko many women hato gone mad, was gracofully oxchewod. A graduating class of young Indies 1 Chncago the other day were vo fearfully mada up that they walked within an inch of their lives, did not dare to makes alam test their aaphyziated drapery shold burst, and did not Prosume to nit down wotil they got opportunities todo so without Leing watched, There wera gome very pretty toilettos im St. Marv’s exhibi- tion hall;_but. happily, this is not a fashion ar- ticle, and I could uot deecribe them if it were.
