Iridium, a Rare Metal.

The smooth-writing qualities possessed by gold fountain pens may be attributed to the tiny bit of white metal--iridium--fa fastcn- Cd to the tip of the pen. Iridium is an exceedingly rorc metal, ac- cording to Inc United States Geo. logical Survey, not more than 5,- OOO ounces being produced each year, of which, perhaps, abiut Doo ounces are recovered in the unitcd States, mostly from im- pot q platinum sand and from copper ores and bullion.

DRESDEN IDEAS COME BACK
Revival 10 a Natural Result Of the
Fad That Calls for the Pan
nIer Draperies.

With the revival Of the pannier
draperies comes back a decided en-
phasis on dresden silks, with all the
exquisite colorings that we associate
with the Dresden shepherdesses. Pinks
and blue. yellows and pale green are
the backgrounds on which are
sprinkled fascinating bouquets, gar
lands and even baskets of flowers.
The dresden silks and satins are
particularly adapted to suit the
coatees that are Incorporated on after
noon and evening frocks for summer.
They are not 30 striking In contrast
with plain, thin fabric and there is
great scope for color combinations and
flower effects.
The rose season. so noticeable in
fashions for the summer, 10 q timely
one for lowered mulls, organdies, mus
Inns. voiles and chiffons with which the
dresden silks effectively combine.
Hats covered with dresden taifeta
are decidedly chic. Bridesmaids now
are favoring hats OF this type to con-
tinue the idea of the dresden coatee
thrown over simple and usable frocks
Of white or plain colors.
Little dresden silk slippers for the
rest hour add new touch to the
negligee set, especially II bindings or
trimmings Of dresden silk be used on
the gown.
Dresden sashes. with an extra line
of the ribbon quilting trailing in and
out among the punches OF flowers. are
accepted by womankind as an idea
that makes the assurance of beauty
doubly sure.
1t is undeniable that the dresden col
orings in designs that are varied and
Inexpensive are factor In the general
beauty Of summer styles. Are you
using them?

WITH THE PARTISAN SANCTION
Position Hat Is sure to Bs Copied
Though No Longer In the
Greatest Vogue.

The fancy for the position hat has
been short-lived SO far MS Paris is con-
cerned, and London never greatly
cares for millinery which the Paris
ienne accepts as bien amusante. More
or less curly OF brim. and with tall
stiff crown, these hats trimmed with
a feather en- fantaisie or a floral
aigrette had a brief furore, and GER
tainly when new they were most ap-
pealing. They could not. however.
bear repetition, and since people have
taken to wearing them they have lost
their attraction. For once the French
woman seems to have forgotten that
the fact Of hat being chic when worn
by a woman of one type may make
1t impossible for those who belong to
another.
This style Of hat is, however. being
made for autumn. and milliners are
looking favorably upon its possibilities

Nearly 10000 camels are used in the
