FOR SUMMER TRAVEL.
Lingerie Gown Kept Fresh Und,
 Coat of Crepe de Chine.

{, To most ears lingerie means lace and elaborateness. Literally it means anything that is. linen. But everyday parlance applies the term to any kind of thin frock that is not silk and which can visit the laun- dry. It may be as simple as you like. especially this summer when good lines count for so much, and the merest suspicion of trimming, if it is the best of its kind, satisfies the i feminine exquisite.
 The crepe de chine coat is the ln- sparable accompaniment of the li1:- gerie frock. What a sensible idea it is! If the weather is sultry the woman is cool in her thin frock. If treacherous little breeze springs up, bringing a sudden drop in the temperature, her outer wrap affords her welcome protection. In either case her ensemble is much fresher and smarter than the heavy skirt and separate blouse and coat.
 The crepe de chine coat, now that its excellences are appreciated, is be- coming more popular every year. It is really the ideal coat for warm weather. It is so light that its weight is negligible, and yet is warm enough to give it real purpose, in contradistinction to the lace wraps masses of braid and embroidery and lace, cluny, Irish crochet, reticella and Italian ut-work-beautiful but utterly useless except for their deco rative effect.
 But the crepe de chine coat is quite practical for everyday occa- sions, unless it is for real country wear. It does not catch and hold the dirt and heat like a serge, nor does it soil and rumple like linen for train wear. The average American woman does not understand in the least the trick of dressing we'll for travelling. In the day coaches you will find her in her oldest and most disreputable garments. and she Hut ters into the parlor car gowned as for reception. There is no excuse for one extreme or the other. Her travelling clothes should be the per- lection of chic neatness and sim- plicity. That is why smart frock with a cool dust-shedding crepe de chine wrap makes the most sensible travelling costume imaginagle.

HOW FLOWERS HIDE HONEY.
Pits Where Sweets Are Stored in the
 Lily.

Before the bee sucks" as Ariel put
 it. he must find the wonder places
 where the flowers hide away their honey. to be found like the priests hiding holes in ancient mansions, by the right sort of visitor, and to keep away all intruders.
 In the reeesses of the crown inper-
 ial lily at the center can be seen six
 large honey pits, one on every floral leaf. and each is brimming over with big drop of honey and glistening lick a tear drop. Shake the flower and it "weeps'' as the big drops fall from 1t, soon to be replaced by other tears in the rapidly secreting flower. Jobs tears.'
 The snowdrOp is literally flowing with honey, for in swollen veins tra- versing its fragile whiteness are riv- CTS of nectar. The petals of the col umblne are ingeniously and elabo- rately designed with a view to pro- viding good places of hiding for the honey. Each is circular, hollow, shaped like horn. In each the hon. ey is secretei in a round knob at what would be the mouthpiece end of the horn, and the five are arranged in a ring side by side with the honey knobs aloft. Though the honey store is obvious from without. yet the in- sects who would sip must creep into the flower and penetrate with a long nose up the eurving horn to the knob.
 Sometimes the petals are all join ed together into a tube and the sweet nectar simply exudes from the inner side of the wall and collects at the bottom. This is the case in the dead nettle. the tube of which forms so tOOthsome a morsel that some chill dTen call 1t "suckles" The honey suckle Is similarly planned and its sweetness is SO striking as to have furnished it's name.
 The nonkshoOd has quaint nee taries. If the hood be drawn back there suddenly spring into sight two objects on long stalks which are some times like French horn. sometimes like a CoSI. or. looked at sideways. not unlike a pair of doves. Their presence within the hood has provfd- ed the nicknames Adam and Eve" and ~NoahTs Ark Thus the honey bags are carefully tucked away and protsctsd.-ChieagO Tribune.
