White tulle is swathed around the crown, making a soft background for the waxen white flowers. and yards of the tulle stray downward to form long streamers that float about the wearer.

 White Hats With Darker Furs.
 Ermine and white fox are not the only summer furs, though they are the favorites. Mole, beaver and rose fox are shown in various cape-collars suitable for summer wear-which means collars that leave the throat more exposed than 8 fur collar de- signed for use in cold weather Rose

fox seems peculiarly appropriate Tor the month of roses and oddly enough much of this lovely fur is noted, these days, on board-walks by the sea and at roof-garden and other open-air res taurants. The hat with white bow and cluster of mauve flowers on the brim was designed for wear with rose fox neckpiece, the bit of purplish- pink color on the hatbrim echoing most delicately the rosy lilac tone of the fur.
 Some of the new midsummer hats, lately from Paris are quaintly named every exclusive frock, hat, wrap or negligee, now must have it's name when introduced at an opening. The Watteau hat is tip-tilted affair cov- cred with pink rosebuds and massed with Nattier blue ribbon under the brim at the back. The Pierrot hat has two tall. peaked side-sections of black satin, and attenuated ostrich whips towering even higher. The Hottentot is of thatch-likea unfinished leghorn, with scarlet velvet streamer that falls in a long loop to the hip, and Beauty thrusts her arm through the ribbon loop. The Peace Chapeau has two milk-white doves posed against background of gray tulle. The Flap jack is a big cart-wheel sailor of lisere straw trimmed with a band of white glazed kid. The Query has a high Directoire crown of black Milan with burnt orange ribbon tied around it's top and a long, curved quill of

good deal of time Is required to do the knitting. Last summer there were records of speed in the gossip corner. One woman, proud holder of the rec, ord at one hotel on Long Island, could finish sweater. complete to belt and pockets, in four days; but of course she was knitting every minute of the day-while the plates were being changed at meals, while she was dum- my at bridge. and while her daughter was dancing in the evening. She neither saw, heard or thought any thing but sweater during the strenu- ous four days. About three or four weeks, working from two to three hours a day, should finish a sweater very comfortably, and since this Is such easy work-not demanding the concentrated attention that must be given to articles in which the stitch is constantly changed-a sweater is a very delightful companion for the gossip corner.
 | For woman's sweater of average size, made of Germantown wool, cast on about sixty stitches for the back, knitting about sixty ribs before widen ing for the sleeve. Cast on forty five stitches at each side for sleeves; knit twenty-two ribs. Binds off twenty stitches at the center for back of neck. Knit two ribs on shoulder.

smaller proportion of course.
 Muff1ers are very easy to knit and the work goes rapidly. Take care not to get your muffler too narrow at the start; fifty inches, with Germantown wool, is a good proportion. Use rather large needles so that the stitch may be soft and rather loose; a muff1er should be pliable and soft. not stiff and harsh on the neck.
 Afghans for the baby are charming to knit because the colors are so dainty. A very pretty afghan Is in two layers. pale pink on one side, white on the other, each separate afghan knit with Germantown on large needles. and the pink and white strips joined together around the edge with a scalloped. crocheted border. Such an afghan is newer and prettier and much warmer-than the old fashioned kind of pink with white stripes or border. For the woman who dotes on something new and ab- sorbing in knitting or crocheting stitch. the afghan pictured will be a splendid piece of summer work for the gossip corner. Instead of begin ming at one end and working across and back to the opposite end, one starts at corner, continually casting on stitches until the greatest width is reached. This width is marked by an oblique line about three-Quarters of the distance down one side to the up- per corner diagonally opposite. Were the afghan sQRre, this oblique line would extend from the lower corner to the one diagonally opposite; but since the afghan is oblong, one must continue to add stitches below the three-quarter point just referred to- casting off stitches at the opposite side of the afghan-until the left-hand side is completed to the corner. Then the narrowing continues on both sides until one finishes in single stitch at the corner diagonally opposite the starting point. At the same tine the dots. heavy stripes and ribs in the pattern must be accomplished; so this Is truly summer task for the expert worker.
 The crocheted caps should not offer any particular difficulties to an ac- complished wielder of the crochet hook. The larger cap has very pretty trimming of roses made of colored silk and also crocheted. Bedroom slippers are always an acceptable gift, and two very dainty styles are pie tured; one pair is of pink worsted with pink ribbon trimming; the other pair-sleeping boots for cold feet of white silk. Pink rosebuds are em- broidered on both these slippers, ad- ding much to their daintiness.

is full-busted) and knit the twenty two ribs to complete sleeve. Bind off the forty-flve stitches that make the sleeve and then continue down front until front is as long as back. The sweater is sewed up with an over-and- over stitch done with the worsted un- der the sleeve and down the side seam. The two fronts of course are knitted separately, and collar, pockets and cuffs are also knitted separately and sewed to the sweater. A straight strip, about forty stitches cast on. and twenty ribs in depth, will make the collar. When sewed to the neck open ing it will turn back in correct shape.
 The directions given above are ap- proximate. After making one sweater you will be able to judge pretty &C., curately how many stitches to cast on and how many ribs to knit. whatever the size of the friend for whom you are making the coat. Baby sweaters are made in the same way, in much

The tween dances cape Is of light yell low broadcloth, lined with white me- teor and trimmed with natural er- mine. This ermine is not pure white in color, but is what is known as summer ermine-the mixed white and pale brown color of the little animal when it lives on the rocks instead of in the snows during the short arctic summer. The collar which is shown in the picture twisted around the throat is really in the form of two long ties. which hang at either side of the front unless wound around the throat as pictured here.
 The second cape if for restaurant wear with black hat. It is made of black taffeta silk, with ermine trim ming, and Is lined with yellow chif- fon. It accompanies stunning Virot hat of black tulle with a sweeping yellow paradise plume. Cape and hat arrived together in New York last week from the same house in Paris. Many of the milliners are supplying fur-trimmed wraps of this sort with picture hats for midsummer wear.
 White Wraps With White Hats.
 With the lovely white summer hats for wear with garden party and res taurant frocks, white fur neckpieces are enchanting, and so becoming is this combination that no woman can resist it--once she has yielded to the temptation to try on a white picture hat and white fox neckpiece in the milliner's salon she is lost! A few of the fluffy white neck-scarves are of 0yyt st sr~t>t av~N to look like white fox. These imita- tions look very we'll until they are sub jected to dampness; then the fur takes on the crinkly angora look immedi- ately. So, if you are planning to spend the summer at the seashore have genuine white fox neckpiece, or nothing.
 At wedding, earlier this month the bridesmaids wore hats like the ose-encircled model pictured, and the brides gift to each maid was sum- mer cape-collar of ermine. These capes were merely short scarves which fastened at the front by the upper corners-a type of summer neckpiece , very fashionable. There is no sem- blance of fit, the upper edge of the cape standing away from the throat and the spreading front edges, leaving the chest exposed; but assuredly such a fur cape is cooler for July wear than a winter model whose first req son for being IS protection from the cold. The bridesmaids who received the capes did not wear them at the wedding, but cape and hat will make a charming mbination for later wear. The hats were of fine pink chip, bound at the edge with pale pink ribbon Pink satin roses are massed in close wreath around the crown. and pink ribbon is banded over the crown and drawn over and under the niniche brim at the back to form long streamers.
 A most lovely example of the pure white hat so fashionable this season is the dropping brimmed model by Carlier which, with its floating tulle streamers. has bride-like suggestion. This hat is made of flexible white chip

 N of cosy groups of matrons. Tongues will fly, needles, too, and the morning hours will fly fastest of all. The unmarried girl, full of busy plans for tennis, sailing, swim ming, canoeing and what not, has secret pity and contempt for this rocking-chair brigade on the veranda; but sooner or later she will join the ranks of the matrons and join the gossip corner-and bring her knitting with her.
 Mufflers and sweaters are as popu- lar as ever for vacation knitting, but this year heavier sweaters seem to be the fad. Every other woman last summer was knitting Shetland sweater, using medium bone needles SO that the stitch was soft and loose. This year quite heavy yarn and the same needles produce a much thicker sweater in closer stitch. and the vogue seems to run toward darker colors; the sea-green, sky-blue and coral pink sweaters of last season have been abandoned in favor of heavier coats in dark green, navy-blue. coffee- brown and so on. There Is a special weave of Germantown yarn in com bination tones, brown-green, blue black, gray-blue, and the like, which makes very handsome sweaters, espe- cially when border bands. cuffs and collar are done with plain -colored

UANITY of vanities," saith the prophet; "all is vanity" Could
 " the prophet have been seeing in " some dreamy vision of the fu- ture, coming woman swathed in fur in that period of the dog stars ascen- sion when high temperature logically recommends raiment of the airiest?
 The woman who can is buying fas- chatting new summer neckpieces, scarves and capes, the woman who can't-determined not to be out of the style procession-is keeping her winter furs out of storage. If one must economize on clothes, this is a very unwise proceeding, for the furs will be needed, indubitably, when Thanksgiving season comes around; while they are not absolutely indis- pensable now, and summer heat, hu- midity and glaring sunshine are not good for peltry which demands crisp cold, with not too direct beams of the sun, If it's rich texture and gloss are to be preserved. The summer sojourn in the dark deeps of a cold storage plant does infinite good to furs worn all winter long.
 The new summer furs are irresist- ibly becoming and there are many oc- casions, even in June and July when a bit of fur about the throat is ex- tremely grateful. With August, Of course, one expects cool nights, par ticularly by the sea or up in the noun tains when a fur neckpiece is quite as comfortable as in November-par- ticularly since custom endorses the donning of furs in November, no mat ter how warm and summery the weather.
 White F'urs Most Pleasing Now.
 Of course the white furs are the favored ones for summer wear. Their delicacy of texture and the snow white color make them most appropriate If one may use the term-for warm weather wear. And of the white furs, ermine is the exclusive pelt. The soft est, most pliable skins are used, and these are lined only with chiffon, so that the weight of neckpiece or scarf Is negligible. A scarf of this sort may be wound around the shoulders as readily as so much crepe de chine, and carried over the arm during a dance, has scarcely any weight at all. A very beautiful ermine scarf for sum- mer wear is two yards long-think of six feet of costly ermine-lined with chiffon run with tiny hand tucks. At the ends of the scarf are ermine tails in fringe effect and at it's center the scarf is caught together about six inches from the fold with a bow of white silk cord. This makes a sort of burnoose hood which drapes softly at the back of the shoulders when the scarf is adjusted, long, tasseled ends of the cord falling at either side of the hood A very dainty ermine scarf for summer evenings is pictured. This scarf is about yard and a half long and is lined with white liberty silk and trimmed with ermine tails.
 Fur r-trimmed capes are exceedingly smart and are perhaps trifie more sensible for midsummer wear than wraps made entirely of fur. Two very charming examples have been photo gra phed for your delectation today
