Unusual Interest has been awakened in
this years midsummer millinery by the
arrival OF some striking novelties from
foreign shores, Most OF us have long
since tired OF the mushroom. which. In
tho early season thought so fetching, has
been SO overdone as to make 1t positively
offensive In many instances, and We are
Just In the mood to grasp anything which
comes In the way OF q novelty.
The first divergence from tho mush.
room was the broad brlmmcd French
sailor, which made Its appearance In tho
early days of May, and this, With Its
various trimming Of ribbons, feathers,
wings. quilts aud flowers, was followed
by the French shape which the PARISH
eiines call the "cloche," and we Amerl-
cans designate as the "Rcll." This i'm
mediately became the accepted type OF
ultra midsummer headwear Tho crown
OF this new model Is some four inches In
height ana the sloping brim frequently
attains width Of seven inches. Its
trimmings vary aud are more or less
volnminons hut 1t does not, however, con-
yey the impression Of oycrtrimming,
probably because Of the fact that there
Is no iptermingllng Of flowers aud fcath.

Little Frills Of Fashion.

Rendy-mnde Juvenile underwear Is ut.
tracing much attention and great deal
OF trade these days IN the better shops.
Mothers who formerly had all these little
garments made at home are attracted to
this dainty lingerie for their little people
which SO closely resembles their own In
construction and trimming. A feature Of
the small girls pctticoats Ia the dust
ruttle, acting as protection for the lace
or embroidery trimming, which by reason
Of the length Of the skirt very often
comes in contact with the hose support
ers and Is torn. Older girls wearing
longer dresses than those which come
just below the turn Of the knee arc very
apt TO destroy the pettlcoat trimming
with tho heels Of their shoes unless tne
dust ritle Is used.
Knttted combination garments . o.
union suits arc bcing shown for misses
ana children as young as three years. The
4 little pantalons are finished with dainty
hDce friil. These garments are not only
fur cooler and vastly more comfortable
for the small growing bodies, but they
represent saving OF labor which every
mother will be quick to appreciate.
Lingerie Coats are dainty addition
to baby's summer wardrobe. They are
made OF the finest lawn inserted ma

that the smartcst hats are those in which
tho trimming starts from the center front
of the crown, being equally distributed on
both sides OF the hat. The bandcau, or
cachcpeIgnc, Is used to a very limited OK
tent, and only us a foundation for the
support of under brim trimmings These

tInue as full and voluminous MS we saw
them in the first models. The deep back
rbrlms OF nearly all of tho popular shapes
require a more or less elaborate hair
dressing Even though tho space be-
tween the head and tho hat brlm Is
we'll filled in with flowers or ribbons,
this self same trimming needs some sort
Of a support or balance in the way OF
clrls or pufs to preserve tho perfect
contour of tho head. French women are
wearing numerous puts and frlsettcs,
MS they call them, and very frequently
these arc attached to the hat aud worn
only when the Int Is worn. These are
worn only for.strect wear or indoors ut
reception, or on some such occasions
when the hat Is not removed. This ar
rangement saves no end Of trouble, for
1T does away with the necessity OF re-
dressing the hair when the hat is re-
moved the street hair dressing OF puffs

Shopkeepers tell the same story, and
further assert that the number Of French
blouses sold SO far this season Is COM
paratively small Nearly all French
waists carry some of this fine needlework,
and doubtless therein lies the cause of
limited sules.
Very dainty chiffon satin and silk
blouses are made up with fine laccs along
lingerie lines and are designated as silk
lingerie blouses.
feature Of this summers blouses Is
the yoke Sometimes 1t is cut separate
on round, square or pointed lines, and
Joined to the blouse with fine lace or en-
broidery Insertions, but more often 1t Is
the yoke effect attained with insertions
and medallions or motifs of lace or en-
broidery. And not only Is 1t front yoke
but back yoke as we'll. This latter is
shallow and In no wise conforms to the
shaping of tho front yoke.

Some are so constructed that the funess
is tucked into cuff form and the inscr-
lions which run up and down extend to
the lace frillcd edge.
The dark toned separate blouse Is not
without favor in the summers fashions.
| There are many times when such n waist
| is better adapted to the occasion than tho
white lingerie or silk blouse. The new
est of these are of dark toned chiffon
mounted over white or some light colorcd
silk. Plain and fancy silk Innings are
used. The checked and striped Innings
| are very effective when draped with a
| transparent chiffon or net. Striped silk
| and striped chiffon make one very charm
ing waist in which plaid effect is Gre
ated by using the two materials on oppo-
site ways Of the goods For instance, the
SILK is cut on the cross, while the outer
material, satin striped chiffon, is cut on
the lengthwlse.
Blouses Of this type are made with a
sheer lawn body lining tight fitting and
carefully boned to the figure, rr the silk
foundation is joined to n featherbOne CIR
die which laccs snugly about the waist
and holds the blouse neatly In place. The
simpler the mode the better the style Of
such blonscs. for the materials are such
that any great amount Of elaboration
would destroy the artistic simplicity.

If anyone thinks for moment TINT the
shirtwnist or uressy blouse has lost IN
favor this summertime let them but con-
slider the popularity Of the smart tailor
made and the vogue of the Jumper dress.
And what is the result? Simply THIS, the
dressy blouse, be it n lingerie CONNECTION
or dainty silk affair, has never been so
important part Of woman's costuming
rs it Is now.
When these Jumper dresses first became
the fashion the very shallow opening mt
the neck seemed to necessitate only
half body guimpe with sleeves, but with
the gradual reduction of the jumper 10
mere skeleton of It's former self the lln-
gcrie waist became its inseparnble ac-
compartment. Even when the jumper Is
not of skeleton formation many women
wear a lingerie waist Instead Of regu-
lar guimpe, uverring that they IRE more
comfortable and never pull up out Of
place like the guimpe which comes just
over the bustline.
Those of us who accepted that severe
tailored shlrtwaist of the early spring,
nattily trimmed with little plcatings and
stiGly cuffcd and collared, and wore 1t
pany with chic tailor mades all spring,
were only too glad to return to the "od
love-" the lingerie blouse, when the I'M
usually cool spring jumped without warn
ing into the heat Of summer Closely
woven linen and madras waists and stiiily
starched iLeckweQr are all right In mod
crate weather, But alack and alas, when
the thermometer begins to climb their
smartness is no substitute for the COM
fort aud GOODNESS embodied IN the sheer
lingerie or silk blouse.
And SO 1t is with the summer tailor
made. Many American women have
elected to follow the Parisienne In the
mode of street dress this season In that
they do not discard the coat of their
street suits in warm weather. This fancy
has led to the present popularity OF tho
coat suits OF linen and piquc, while the
white and light toned inohairs and sergcs
are legion in this type of costuming. Tho
idea Is, of course, to make the clothing
ms light as possible. Here again the lin
gerie' blouse IS called into rcquisitIon, ant
with It not infrequcntly the stiff higl
embroidered collar and lingerie bow which
seems such fitting accessory to the lal
lored costume.

MONEY SYSTEMS.
The Worlds Coinage Middle and the
Range Of Units of Value.

The Worlds Coinage Middle and the
Range Of Units of Value.
Twenty-six different monetary units
are used by the forty-eight principal
countries of the world. Thus Great
Britain uses the sovereign or pound
sterling, France and six other countries
OF Europe use unit equal to the
franc, and Canada and the United
States use the dollar.
In value these different units range
from IA to 494,33 cents of money of
the United States, They are represent
ed in their turn by coins the values Of
which are either multiples or fractional
parts of the value of their own chief
units, and there are no doubt at least
200 such sufficient coins not one Of
which seems to have value equal to
that of any commonly known unit Of
weight. as the gram, for example, or
the ounce of gold. although forty.three
Of these forty-eight countries have ac-
cepted gold as their standard measure
Of values.
This lack Of logical relation Of coins
to any widely used unit of weight of
the precious metals may be due to the
fact that money systems seem to have
grown up haphazard, under diverse
conditions of life, in different parts Of
the world.
Such diversity In moneys may have
been of little moment when millions of
people spent their lives knowing moth
ing Of the existence Of other millions
and there was little traffic. But these
differences In monetary units are of
importance now that international
commerce includes millions of tons Of
products of the toll Of all lands and
billions of dollars each year to settle
Its bills, for such differences put upon
trade a wholly unnecessary tax. No
account is made here of the burden
laid on domestic trade by like varla'
ton In the value of such units at home
as Of the tael of China, which has six.
teen different values within that EN-

August had come. The musical sea
son was at its height The grasshop-
per chirped all the morning, the locust
sang in the afternoon, while the tree
toad was preparing for an engagement
evenings.
Within the dropping boughs Of cop
per beech hung hammock, and In
the hammock lay girl. There was
not bit Of color In her attire, from
the lace about her neck to her white
shoes. She had promised him a game,
but 1t was very hot, and instead Of
going on to the grounds her steps had
been DETECTED to the hammock.
What's that triangulating on the
tennis court? White trousers like a
pair of dividers give an appearance of
trlangulation. The owner of the
trousers Is lazily dancing tennis ball
on racket He wonders why she
doesn't come, Presently he strolls to-
ward the house to look for her. He
doesn't find her on the porch, so he en-
ters the hall and calls to her. No an
swer. He returns to the porch and
stands looking out at anything, every.
thing, nothing. Then he catches sight
of something white moving under the
branches of the copper beech. He tri-
angulates there, moving with more
animation than before, and lifting
bough, looks under the green roof. She
sleeps. Intent on the lovely sight be-
fore him, it doesn't occur to him that
the vibrations had stopped rather sud-
denly So still is she that life is eyi-
dent only by the rising and falling of
her bosom. The mouth is in an admira-
BILE position to be kissed, the head
thrown back and partly over the ham
mock's side. The birds above sing
love songs to one another: the insects
on the lawn give fantasia in the
same strain. The maxwell, the man
stoops and kisses the girl.
She does not awaken, and he kisses
her again,
Thrice he kisses her, and the third
time she moves. Then after a bit she
opens her eyes and blinks at him.

WASHINGTON, Aug. ll.--Gov. Gen
Smith, Of the Philippines, has sent to
the Bureau Of Insular Affairs Of the War
Department additional details OF the re-
cent elections In the Islands for mem-
bers Of the new Legislative Assembly.
An interesting feature Is that Agiinaldo,
ex-hader of the Filipinos, who. headed
the revolt against the United States, re-
ceived just one vote. Whether he cast
it himself 1t not known.
With the municipalities heard from,
except eighty. the total vote cast was
only S9.l37. Gov. Smith says that the
places yet to be heard from will not
raise the vote much beyond 100000
With Christian population of nearly
100000, the voting strength is shown
to be only about one and a half per
cent
The vote cast for the various parties
was as follows, 30 far as counted: Ma
tionalists, 22,223; Progresistas, 25,52s;
Independents, l7.472; Catholic, 1856;
