At the moment the shops are selling

time to buy and make ones summer

by now; we have had fun opportunity
to see what is worn.
To turn from house dresses. A love
ly travelling dress recently brought TO
our notice consisted Of Russian-blue
poplin, a waist of pongee in the same
shade. It was all so cool and comfort
able looking, and a suit that would
so easily shed dust It seemed just the
thing for summer travel.
There is nothing smarter for cOun-
try wear this summer in the way Of
shirt-waist suits than the ones made
of calico. Their first cost is slight
but the laundry bills! For the girl
that wants to look on al athletic sports
but take no part herself, the white
serge suit is a favorite White linen
is a craze this year, some girls are
aiming to appear in 1t the summer
through; a tailor suit Of moderate
weight for day time, the thinnest of
handkerchief linen for evenings Lin
ems are declared to be in fashion for
all occasions save travelling.
Slowly we are learning to appreciate
the little cape wraps of silk and other
lightweight materials. Sometimes lace
is used for the cape, sometimes linen is
employed, again thin cloth They are
so convenient to throw on Of sum

timber and | think: Well, the trees

sped past them as they do here. At that

startled at what she says:
why, papa, She eXclaims. addressing
gentleman standing at her side, these
are not big trees. Why, We have seen
plenty of them in the forest that are

of bigger logs still uncut in he forest.

To quote from an authority: War
may terminate in three ways; by treaty,
by cessation of hostilities. by conquest.
The treaty is the usual method and is
the best, for the parties of the war can
do. and should thus settle by careful
and formal document the various issues
hat caused the war. and provide for
peaceful and harmonious relations in
the future. In cases of war indemnity

This termination Of war by mere ces-

for neutral nations 10 feel justified in
CARRYING on trade. that being a rather
uncertain peace which dates from the
last warlike act other last ones

as the belligerents, yet have recognised
commercial interests The theory of
neutrality is that the stranger to the
contest takes no par whatever in it, and
prevents its subjects. directly or indi-
rectly so far as possible from aiding
either belligerent Nor should it al
low its ports to be used as basis for
hostile operations supply stations, or
ports Of shelter. A neutral may, how
ever trade with either belligerent or
both, in all articles save those denom-

il is Of the usmost importance also to
neutral nations that wars be concluded
with formal declaration of peace.
