we have been considering in dark

some OF the cheaper suits look
amazingly we'll on the right woman,
but tho late season models turned out
by the high class designers show a
market tendency toward lines more
formal than those most generally ac-
cepted. The cheap suit and the ex-
pensive suit have both been prone to
loosely belted informally, but indica-
lions are that the autumn will see
less OF this coat type and more Of the
slightly fitted, unbelted, rather severe
tailored styles.
The advance suits already shown
are of course purely experimental, but,

their guesses upon a knowledge Of con-

and inquiry. Manufacturers canno
wait until after the August openings
in Paris TO get their new seasons out

sible wires In order to get n linz on
possibilities. Often their conclusions
are wrong and their later product is
quite unlike their early offerings Ia

- EEPING hardwood floors in the

there IS nothing to worry about. II Is
only the gallo acid contained In the
wood acted on by the solution OF iron
contained in the drop Of water from n
wet walking stick or umbrella. An
umbrella stand might have prevented

remove. Place a cloth wet with a
dilute solution Of oxalic acid over tho
spot for three or four hours and Il will
disappear. When thoroughly dry rub
the spot with wax. The floor will be
as glossy and unscarred rs ever.
Where the hardwood floor IS OF oak

learned. 1t takes more than q world
war TO pat the fashion making APP
paratus OF Paris out Of business. In
ss;;e Of all Obstacles. the French dress
makers asserted themselves and have
enforced their verdict. Women in
Paris may have dressed sombrcly.
Black and gray and white may have
replaced the gayer colors wherever
Paris!ans have attempted 20 lift the
growing weight of melancholy by
some half hearted revival of social
customs. but despite her mournilg the
city on the Seine has pluckily pro-
vided the whcrewithal for the festive
attire Of those who have tie heart 10
60 f~estively.
There has not been so much bright
color IN midsummer fashions as usual,
BIT the white and delicate toned frocks
are lovely, and the ubiquitous black
frocks are robbed of sorrowfulness by
the materials used for them and the
fashion in which these materials are
handled. Then, too, the bright huei
sports coats. silk sweaters and access
eories of dress afford gay splashes of
color. and the striped stuffs in white
aal color. the one toned linens and
handkerchief linen in rose and yellow
and blue and violet. the frivolous and
cheerful coloring Of taffeta afternoon
and 'ening Coats-all these lend an
air OF festlvity ever to crowds in
which white or black and white frocks
predominant.
Not in a long time have we had such
q white summer. From the daintiest
Of white tulle evening frocks to the
s~port!est of white serges and linens,
the white costume is distinctly a la
mode.
Sometimes II is relieved by a touch
OF color. More often ii Is uncom-
promising. Sports coats of white silk
white chinchil,a, white serge are pre-

liquid a Is n bit easier to apply and
both give the same lustrc. The great
est difference is that the floor on which
the solid wax is used Is much less slip

tunity to see these things, owing to the great
crowds, we took occasion to visit them the day
following our arrival. Among the principal
places of interest in the Church of the Holy

stone of JUNCTION, the holy sepulcher, the Greek
church, the chapel of st. Helena and Mount
Calvary.
