merely the narrow belting instead of the wide skirt belting. which was for merly the style and a narrow outside belt around the waist, and again at the hip line, if desired. The price of the gaberdine would be s2.50 for each skirt. and at this rate one could have several skirts for the price that . linen one would have cost in former years.
 For the belt there are mother-of- pearl slides which may be purchased at prices ranging from 5 to 25 cents apiece which will add greatly to the garment and may also be used to hold the tie on the waist.
 If pongee is considered too warm there are always lawns and swisses. which make up well and stylishly. and these will wash 50 beautifully. and they would serve for ordinary wear during the rest of the summer. For moro dressy occasions there should be a crepe de chine or taffeta, preferably the latter, in some dark shade with per- haps georgette crape front and sleeves- And there should be two or three mora dressy gowns to be worn in the even- ing or for parties. It would be better to have these of a dainty and pretty material. not necessarily expensive. and if cost is to be considered ribbons, tucking, plating and frills are the bet ter trimmings. for lace to be proper should be always very good.

In the way of trimming the edge of the skirt may have a little color applied around the bottom of the skirt or band wherever the figure re- quires accenting. and the waist line may be held in by girdle or tight belt, depending upon the trimming.

The modern development Of the oxford tie is leather in two tones. preferably tan. It is frequently trimmed with scalloped; perforated and stitched strappings. It is laced with round. silk cords through unbound eyelets.
 High shoes will be worn by many women all summer. especially when they come in such attractive styles as the high laced pair of washable kid. The laced shoe is the fayorite. as in the very high shoe it is more likely to give neat ankle appearance than the buttoned variety.

The Christiania conference of repre-

and Danish governments has resulted
In further development of the plan for
cooperation in foreign affairs. Through
the Danish foreign office there was is
sued statement said to have been re-
ceived with satisfaction by all polit-
ical parties. as follows:
1.-THE three countries are unanimous
for maintenance of loyal and impair
tial neutrality during the present war.
The blows aimed at the rights and in
terests Of neutrals by belligerent pow
ers as well as the difficulties in com
mercial policy for neutrals, formed the
subject of searching. investigation
which resulted In AN accord for bring
ing about wider collaboration among
the three countries.
Special attention was devoted to
the destruction of neutral ships and
cargoes, as well as to blacklists. II
was agreed that the three countries
keep each other mutually informed as
to measures to be taken in regard to
both commercial policy and the repres-
sion of commercial espionage, to safe
guard their interests after the war.
''The parties also came to com
plete accord based on the conventions
of The Hague as to their attitude rela-
tive to certain questions touching the
duty Of neutrals and the safeguarding
of their neutrality. 1t was agreed that
the three countries, by themselves or
in common with other neutrals cannot
take the Initiative in mediation be-
tween the belligerents or take meas
ures in any way analogous to such
mediation. Furthermore 1t was agreed
1t would be desirable to establish closer
collaboration among the greatest pos
sible number of neutral states for the
purpose of safeguarding their common
interests, while observing the strictest
impartiality."
The ministers Of the three countries
separated with the understanding that
further conferences would be held as
often as desirable"

No one can tell for sure where the
copper goes, but 1t is generally sup
posed that it goes to Germany. 1t Is
Mt least an established fact that Ger
man seamen have been known to try
to get in exchange as much copper as
possible when they make a deal. This
way of obtaining copper must be very
expensive to the Germans, the copper

made between the two governments in
the anxious days Of August, 1914, is a
guaranty that such thing will never
happen" Asked II there was corre-
spending agreement between Denmark

in the negative.
