And, no doubt, the cap and gown will make examinees feel more learned, and lend potency to their exhibitions of scholarships. Surely, here is irony; it remains to see the victim of the joke--the cap, or the gown...

Also I'd rather that the one you select should not be baldheaded. I am not quite baldheaded, but near enough to be sensitive. Also especially since I became a Socialist I am carefully about not wearing red neckties. I don't wear clerical collars or soft collars, and, sartorially, the dearest ambition of my life is to look like an Arrow Collar advertisement. Lately, however, I am looking longingly at the young...
