White For Autumn.

White serge and white cloth are to be
In great vogue during the autumn. The
favorite trimming is white wool gut
pure lace and black velvet ribbon.
Sometimes a touch Of color will be
added by a pompadour vest and sash,
but a white gown richly embroidered
In white will have a distinction oil its
own.

in enlarging geographical knowledge.
but numismatics widens the view in
many other subjects thousand-fold. A
single coin has often yielded much in
struction in the history OF nations and
tribes whose written records have been
lost.
A few specimens OF the most ancient
and valuable varieties Of coinage can
not fail to interest those who have not
studied the subject. The branch OF nu
mismatics that is most interesting TO the
American must be that which deals with
the early as we'll as the most valuable
coins of his own country. The Indian
sewam and wampum. the colonial cents
and shillings. the Bar cent. Rosa Ameri-
cana, pine-tree shilling. and Washington
cents are as full of interest and instruc-
tion to the student of American history
as are the knife and spade money OF pre-
historic China, the Roman pecus and aes,
the Egyptian and Celtic ring money, the
Babylonian cylinder and the Hebrew
shekel to the student abroad.

The 1904 half dollar Is also very rare

authorities on American coinage, says:
The remarks made on the dollar of 1904

origin OF coins ascribe them to a pre-

A long time ago--at least. It seemed
SO to Josie's seven years-her daddy
had ridden away in front of lot OF
men all dressed alike. mounted on pranc-
ing horses and carrying shining swords.
She wondered why her pretty mamma
cried SO much as the days went by and
he didn't come back. and when she asked
where he was mamma told her ne had
gone way across the water to help
make some bad people stop hurting
others who were not as strong as they.

The affair was given at the Roe resi-

residence with its broad porches was

The guests were received in the par

which have been important in Mr..
