WHITE SERGE MOST POPULAR
For the Summer Outfit This Sort Of
Frock Is Considered In
dlspensable.

A white serge frock is an almost in
dispensable item Of a summer outfit,
and this season, when soft serges are
well to the fore, white serge promises
to have even more than its Usual pop
ularity.
For coat and skirt tailored suits 1t
has no rival among the white wool
ems, though the French makers have
sent out some models in a white suit
ing resembling heavy whipcord, and
the Bedford cord or cotele effects are
liked in white, as well as in colors.
The widewale diagonal serge which
was much used In white as well as
in color last summer is still in evil
dence, but has yielded place, in so far
as modishness is concerned, to finer
weaves, and with the white serge as
with the blue serges, which this year
are very smart in addition to being
always extremely serviceable, the
hard surface has given place to the
softer, looser weaves, To be sure, the
soft fine serge does not shed dust as
the harder weaves do. and soft
white serge soils readily; but when
did the makers Of fashion ever consid'
er ultilitarian matters?

THE SUMNER MAN.

My son, consider now the summer
man.
He that hath trousers which seem
even as though they had been fash.
toned for the elephant.
For great is the fullness thereof,
and likewise great is the emptiness
Of the fullness
They flap about his knees, and at
his ankles they roll up even as a
scroll;
And his coat, It hath buttons up the
sides thereof, even unto his armpits,
And the waist is pinched in upon
him, and the tails of his coat stick
out even as a shelf;
Yea, and he weareth socks that
make a louder sound than the glass
crash in "Lohengrin; and his neckue
and his handkerchief, do they not
match for hue?
And his hat, hath 1t not band Of
many colors, like unto the festive bar
Der pole?
And he buyeth soda water and talk.
eth in q loud voice of golf, and exc
OF automobillng;
And the mosquito biteth him not,
| for II is afraid.
My son, when men speak unto thee
against the summer woman and tell
thee that the peekaboo and the
sQuintaboo hosiery is wrong,
Listen not unto them, but tell them
to be on their way and to beat 1t and
| to skiddoodle.
For the summer man taketh the
badge
Yet Is ne glad, for some one hath
told him that he looketh like unto an
actor who acteth In the, slapstick
melodrama,
And his heart is large within him,
And he studieth the thermometer
and the mirror,
Is It not so, even as we have told
It from the inner consciousness of this
typewriter with the strabismus of the

ARRANGING THE FLOWER HAT
Attractive Headgear That Any cleV-
err Girl Can Put Together
at Home.

ttractive flower hats can be easily
mSde by clever girl, whose time Is
her own. A frame of white silk wire
can be bought at any of the shops
and there is a wide variety OF popular
shapes from which to choose.
The frame should first be covered
with fine white material and then the
flowers are put on in solid mass OF
color all over the entire surface of the
hat. The brim is faced with shirred
net or soft silk or satin in pale col
or to harmonize with the blossoms.
No trimming is required except
perhaps, stiff cockade Of wired black
velvet ribbon, forming many'loop
bow at the left side. Black and white
aigrettes are also used on these hats.
A close-fltting hat with turned
down brim, was Of geraniums In all
the tones from the palest pink to deep
crimson. The brim was faced with
soft pink satin and at the left side OF
the crown was knot and two loops
OF black velvet ribbon. Jet ball hat
pins we're worn, and the touches OF
black among the flowers were Inn
mensely attractive.
Violets are charming, slender
sprays of wistaria, scarlet poppies'
tiny moss roses and English prim-
roses make charming hats for wear
with summer frocks.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance. but P'so affects the wear
ing quality of the goods, This trou'
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
or strength than other makes.

colors in dress silks, which include
wistaria, reseda, rose, catawba and all
