SIGHTS IN MAY HEAVENS.
SIM More Than Half Way Toward
the summer solsticc.
New York Times.

II hardly seems possible that the sun
Is now more than half way along his
tourney toward the summer s0lstice, and
that before next month closes the days
will be repaying the time borrowed from
the nights. We have sunrise now at 4:J5.
and sunset at 6.5S, which makes our
day somewhat over fourteen hours long;
whereas I'm June, we have rather more
than fifteen hours OF daylight; 50 We
have an hour yet 10 gain for our outing.
and that, too during the loveliest OF our
seasons The suns movement In decli-
nation materially lessons as he comes
north, and in May his speed at the
months close is not half what 1t Is at
present.
In MAY there are seven contunctions In
which the planets and the moon are in
terested. Mars leads of on the 7th. and
inst before the thin crescent fades
from sight Venus has her turn. ON
the 18th. two days after the moon is new.
Mercury and the moon are In conjunc-
ton. while two hours later the same day
Neptune and Luna are at their closest
FOR the month. There then intervenes
a neriod OF four days when We have the
closest meeting OF the month, the chief
characters being Jupiter and the moon.
ON the 18th Saturn is In conjunction, and
later the same day the monthly record Is
closed by Uranus. or these seven, that
with jupiter will be by far the most in
teresting. but few months later We
are to be treated TO a still fined spectacle.

Shoes and stockings may be very mum

high ones are not permitted. The toes

Open-work silk stockings, the same

but are not considered dressy enough TO
wear with light brocades and satin. and
are, instead, relegated 10 demi-toilette.
To wear with summer dresses the low
shoes or ties OF Suede are worn, while
black patent-leather and tan and russell
ties will again be seen. These are made
with long vamps. and. excepting In the
Suede. with common-sense heels. The
care OF the boots and shoes Is made quite
a point OF now. There are lasts for
every pair, and, az a rule, the boots
and shoes are made to order. In fact,
much more attention Is paid 10 being
well-shod these days than was formerly
the case, In the days when women did
not walk so much as they do at present.
The plaid golf stockings seem a little
loud. but II is considered quite smart
10 wear them with tan shoes when BIZ
cycling BY the way, what stockings
or shoes 10 wear when bicycling is a
question that puzzles many women. With
the light costumes the tan shoes and the
canvas leggins look very smart; with
the dark costumes black shoes and black
legyins are the best
Gloves are another detail Of toilette
worthy OF consideration. The four-button
glAce Kid and the mousdustaire are pre-
ferred for summer ordinary every day
use. The Suede mousquetaire In the
different tan shades are for rather more
dressy use. For evening wear, the light
shades Of tan. white. and black glace
are very much the fashion. The Biarritz
glove. which has no buttons at all. and
which Is worn size larger than other
gloves. is a comfortable one for hot
weather as IL pulls on. and there are no
buttons 10 give an uncomfortable tight
ness around the wrist. For bicycling
there Is a heavy dog-skin glove. which
also also must be a size larger than the
ordinary walking glove. The all-white
stitched glove with four buttons Is stu
in fashion for wear with silk gowns In the
afternoon. and this very expensive
fashion-for the gloves must be imma-
culate-blds fair TO continue for some
time.
