shoes with patent leather tips and
white uppers are just what they
should be. White stockings with white
silk clocks are the proper kind for
wearing with the white gowns. Para
soils are of madras handkerchiefs, the
figure wrought into surprising fancies.
The colors are usually rather subdued
for that f1amboyant design. But for
every day with a really handsome and
dainty costume the white parasol is In
better taste. 1t is frequently made of
white dimity or plque scalloped
around the edge with heavy embroid-
cry. The handle is long; If ornament
ed, it is of carved semiprecious stone.
All millinery with these flmy and
lacy dresses should have a distinctly
summer-like appearance and be of erin
or horsehair or openwork straw. No
matter how many roses and other col
ored ornaments there may be, the gen.
eral effect should be light and airy.
For house frocks there is a decided
return to the old fashioned French
waist and straight around skirt, gath
cred to the belt. A few have rufies
around the foot, but a deep hem is
more practical. There are pretty
Scotch ginghams and madras and also
percales and many more cotton goods.
All can be washed and ironed and are
made plain. The kimono is V seen
outside ones dressing room or bed
room. 1t is comfortable, but not neat.
The cotton wash goods make frocks
neat and nice enough to be worn when
intimate friends call. Tiny and much
befrilled aprons are worn at home.
Some are dainty enough to wear at
home 'teas." They look charmingly

DAINTY WEAR FOR SUMMER
Fluffy Material For Street and Home,
With ~Harmonizing Accessories.

Again we feast our eyes on the
dainty and di%aphanons dresses, waists
and other in~dispensables belonging to
the wardrobes of women. The best
shops are overlooking with finely
wrought thin stuffs, tucked and ruff
fed as never before.
The waists have not changed very
much since last summer, except in fine
hand embroidery. The quantity of
lace of the better varieties is far great
er. Lace is added wherever possible,
and the effect Is delicate and pleasing.
Real cluny and valenciennes are most
often seen, but those who can afford
the genuine Irish crochet prefer it, al
though cluny is beautiful and peculiar
ly adapted for insertings. 1t is strong
and solid, while valenciennes is rather
frail and will not bear laundering.
A fetching dress seen was of fine
linen batiste, the skirt being composed
of pointed breadths, narrow at the top
and widening out toward the foot of
the skirt. The foot was finished with
q deep tucked and rufiied hounce,
which was applied In such a way as to
extend up between the tab shaped
points. Each of these narrow tabs
was Joined to the next by a row of
valenciennes insertion, the same ex-
tending around the point, joining that
to the deep rufle of the skirt.
The founce had six or seven fine
tucks and below them a narrower ruff
fe treated In the same way. Lace
fulled on at the very edge added light
ness. Between the edging ruffie and
the wider part of the deep ruffie there
was a line of insertion. The blouse
waist was like the skirt In that 1t
was a pretty design following the gen.
eral style of trimming closely, with
the addition of medallions of the lace
inset on the upper portion of the waist
and also the sleeves. The belt was
of embroidered white canvas. The
sleeves came to the elbow, which is
not the highest note of style just now,
as the majority of sleeves reach nearly
to the knuckles. AS 1t Is difficult to
keep long white sleeves from soiling
and 1t is expensive to have delicate
gowns Numbered, elbow sleeves will
doubtless be worn during warm days.
Some of the thin white frocks have
light colored linings-pink, blue, vel
low and red-and when that is done
the accessories should match the color,
belt or sash and. In fact, all Of the at
tire. But when the lining is white
belt, shoes and hat, also the gloves
and parasol. should be white as well
as the stockings and shoes. Dressy

nMite.v

The difficulties experienced by our
forefathers in trying to reckon money
in very small proportions appear in
the various values given to a mite
in the sixteenth and seventeenth cen
fury books of commercial arithmetic.
The original mite" seems to have
been a third of a Flemish penny, but
the use of the word for the widows
coin of the New Testament made its
regular English meaning half a far
thing, and some old people may re-
member applying the name to the
short lived nineteenth century coins
of that value. In those old arithmetic
books mite stands for various val
ues not represented by actual coins,
but obviously used in reckoning. A
work of 1706 makes it one-twelfth of
a penny, two sixteenth century books
one-sixth of a farthing, and in 1914
Jeake's arithmetic made it as little
as one sixty-fourth of a penny.-Lon-
