gown. as ephemeral as possible For
such a frock nothing is lovelier than
the embroidered Swiss f1ouncing with
which the white counters are heaped
high. 1t is not very expensive; II is
quite durable. and very appropriate to
the tiers of ruff1es which we call skirts
this season. Some very attractive
gowns of old-fashioned null in white

collection from Paris; while literally

ployed by the designers for afternoon

grain cloth. Conditions in Europe point
naturally to stay -at-home summer
for the American woman, and she
knows that she will not have much use
for wool between now and September.
In their silken materials crepe ce-
leste is rather new. This is a crinkly
weave. with a white thread going one
way and colored one the other. Gren-
adine is to the fore again. 1t is some
times striped in self-color and some
times spotted. and sometimes figured in
satin. An exquisite novelty Is black
grenadine in Chantilly lace patterns,
which rivals the lace itself in beauty.
Their use over colored taffeta for sum-
mer evening coats is suggested. and
the effect is sumptuous.
But the thin silk material par excel
lence is voile. The Paris openings in
February showed gowns and suits of it,
but we were not very much interested.

LITTLE THINGS THAT BRING
BIG CHANGES I'm STYLES

of the new belts are of black and
white One belt is formed of bands Of
black patent leather separated with
cords of white silk. Another Is made
up of two-inch strips of black and
white silk alternating with each other.
Then there are black belts piped at
the edges with white and white ones
piped with black. and plaid black and
white belts made on the bias and on
the straight. Perhaps these belts are
most effective when they are worn
with white skirts and blouses.
Practical Pongee.
Nothing is more practical for hot
weather than pongee and rajah silk.
Pongee is quite as practical as ra1ah-
and pongee is fashionable this spring
but perhaps rajah has little more
character than the thinner silk. That
is the only objection to pongee-its ra-
ther monotonous quality. 1t lacks
crispness and at the same time 1t lacks
suppleness. SO that it has neither the
clinging charm of crepe nor the bout
fant independence of taffeta.
The color of pongee. also somewhat
lacking In character. is. of course. fash
fonable this spring and that helps to
put pongee where 1t is at present So
| now that II is in fashion, every eco
nomically minded woman should take
advantage of IT
For summer blouses 1t is ideal-cool
| unwrinkied. easily washed For trav-
cling suits II is admirable for the same
reason-most OF all. perhaps. because
II does not wrinkle easily. and also be-
cause IT does not show dust and travel
stain SO quickly as other fabrics in
other colors.
For coats for travelling by train, boat
or motor IT is ideal, and for the one

Belts and Sashes.

I'D from the same material as the
gown or suit with which they are
worn, or sometimes leather or silk is
used for contrast. Leather belts are
particularly good on cloth or linen COS
tunes, while the soft ribbon sashes
are especially lovely on frilly. ruff1y
summer frocks.
One of the greatest needs for sum-
mer wear is ribbon sash or girdle
to vary the plainness of a simple cot

What Scandal .s.

Of scandal, the New Republic writes: There are few of US who do not enjoy this sense of really know. ing what's what. It extends our ex- perience, and gives us vicarious i'm. pOrtance. If we cannot live great passions, we can at least read about Mme Du Barry's boudoir; if we can not be smart, we can at least feel that we have an insiders knowledge of the smart set. The moral earnest ness and deep attention which people will devote to discussing other pe0' ple's domestic affairs suggests that gossip is perhaps a genuine primi- tive art in which there Is interest through pity and fear and pride and toy. One woman leaves her husband; a hundred women chatter about 1t, and their passionate interest might make cynic wonder whether they are not living through all the emo- tons of a great adventure without the risk of moving away from their own steam radiators. Gossip is ex- perience without responsibility. It is means of taking part in inter- esting or important events without any of the risk that comes of being an actor in them. Gossip, in short. is the pleasure of the spectator at tAe business o, Nfe."

Tho Pineapple in Enalsnd.

Pineapples. which Londoners can now buy at the cheapest rate within living memory, first reached England in the latter part of the seventeenth century. The fruit was thus a novelty to Sir Christopher Wren's generation; but he soon recognized its value as an architectural ornament. and copper pineapples about five feet high figure prominently on the towers of St. Pauls. So highly did Wren esteem the fine proportions and enriched sur. face of this fruit that his original de- sign for St. Pauls shows an enormous pineapple in the place of the dome. Happily his maturer thoughts saved us from that appalling spectacle. Since Wren the pineapple has been as much at home in our architecture as on our dinner tables. It has descended even to cast iron, and is frequently found in old-fashioned streets. Queen Victoria treasured a seal given by her husband on which pineapple was engraved. together with the motto.

Nuts as Food.

Nuts form very concentrated form of food, in many cases more so than cheese, and when rationally used they are readily digested and form a part of a well-balanced ration. Nuts are plentiful in many localities and should not be allowed to. go to waste. A pound of walnuts will produce almost three times as much energy as pound of steak. Such being the case, would not the use of a considerable quantity of walnuts, butternuts. and hickory nuts be a valuable addition to the households supply of provisions?

It is finely said by Plato that as the knowledge that is divested of justice deserves the appellation of cunning, rather than wisdom, so mind unsus' ceptible of fear, if animated by private interest and not public utility, deserves the character of audaciousness, rather than of fortitude. We therefore require that all men of courage and magnanim. ity should be at the same time men of virtue and of simplicity, lovers of truth, and enemies to all deceit, for these are the main characters of jus tice.-Cicero.
