HE girla of the foursyear class) of Business High Sehool who are gradusting the first of next month held an important meeting after school one day last week, when they decided what may not seem an extremely original plan of action to those who received the sheepskins some Junes ago, but Was a(momentous proposition to them. Thess girls decided to wear simple white frocks for graduaation exer- cises. Really it seems o funny that each year the same problem should ap- uear like a specter before the bud- ding_crop of young girl graduater yet it always does; and, funniest of A1 the answer is always the same. There is, however, considerable latitude for varlation in deciding whother to have long or short sleev certain height of the skirt from the ground and a limited number of ma- terlals from which to select. Not so long ago the girls of the February class of McKinley Manual THaining- School held a similar con- clave, which was none the less seri- ous because of the fact that the are only a dozen girls in the clas graduating from Tech this vear. The results were much fhe same as at Business. They did rather compli- | ate matters by dectding upon a light “formal” evening dréss for the senior prom, which was most successful, as one of the boys has testifled in highly adjectived language, and on informal afternoon dresses for class night. However. when one stops to consider that these girle learn the practical arts of dressmaking and other home vocations, the number of dresses they want does not seem so appalling. he dress problem was settled quletly at Eastern. Western and Cen- ral also. Central girls had the par- ticular matter of flowers for gradu- ation as their principal problem and the Central Bulletin relates how they 4id so fn interesting fashion. The Rulletin states: “At the la meeting of the Feb- ruary class the girls selected the flowers they wished for graduation. This was a very difficult thing to do, as there were slx handsome corsage bouquets sent by some of the best known florists of Washington “There were beautlful orange sweet delicate pink and white sweet rose-colored ones, rainbow , some with roses and others with 1ily of the valley, each one & perfect corsage. “After much discussion as to the size, shape, color and price, the girl finaily decided upon a beautiful bou- quet of ros colored sweet peas, A8 they seemed the most appropriate of all “The question then arose as to who would have the samples. but the line very quickly formed on the right and, needless to say, no corsage wilted with out witnessing some strenuous service.

The convention secretary will henceforth rank with other big_effi- ciency jobs for women. Miss Hite, first in the fleld, has had ample train- ing in management. She is a native of Cincinnatl, and was barely out of college when she went to Visit & friend in Missouri and with that friend set up a general country store. Eight years she conducted that store successfully and before the' eight years was up had become interested in the suffrage movement. Her in- terest took her back to Ohio, where she became successively organizer and financial secretary for the Dry Federation in Dayton, executive sec- retary of the Suffrage Assoctation there and organizer for the state of Ohlo.

NE of the old-fashioned names for girls that are still quite popular fs Emma. It hag a3 most unusual meaning given it, however, for the best authorities inkist that it is lit- erally translated as meaning “grand- mother.” 1t is clalmed to be a vari- ation of “amme” thé anelent German for grandmother.. - However, other authorities prefer to consider this name as & contraction of Elma, the word for “great” At any rate, the ‘mbol and sentiment of Emma more than make up for any prosaic mean- ing of the name, for the first is the white rosebud and the second is “l love you." The original Norman form of the name is Emm or Emr and one of the popular diminutives for the name is Em. Xmmy and.Emeline are used as diminutives for the name in England. Emmott is another form of the name that Was much used in early England. _This name has an aston- ishingly pretww lot of variatalons, The Itallan i{s Ermina and the French is Erminie. The Welsh name is PErmin, and Ermine is vet another European version ~ of the name. “Erminie” is the name of a musical production of the days when musical comedy was called comic opera. The musical score for this production 13 unusually attractive even in these days of jazz and the revival of “Erminle” two years ago met with great suocess. The first royal Emma that history mentioned was the daughter of Charlemagne. Bhe secretly masried Eginhard, a historian of that period Who became quite famous. ~An-amus- ing story concerning this Princess Emma and her husbaid indicates that she must have been of Amazonian ysique, for the tale relates how she carried her husband every night on her back to the palace from his lodgings and return, so that his foot- prints would not show in the snow and cause the discovery of their mar- riage. Charlemagne did find it out, but was so amazed by his daughters perseverance and loyalty to her hus- band that he was generous and gave them his blessing. Emma was a favorits name among the Normans and Richard the Fedr- less of Normany had a wife of that name.

Here is & writer—a woman at that- Who finds themes of deep human in- ltm& outside the generally absorb: ing theme of love.

In these sltustions 'a delicate intuition siips under the surface where secret human things lie—desire, motive, dream. This deeply informing light sets the surface in & glow of human signifi- cances.
