The new wells are sometimes the
sole trimming for midsummer hats,
and they nre made in fascinating pat
terms, in white or black mostly. A
white hat of satin becomes n back
ground for n veil of brilliant black
In n lace and net pattern. Half Of
the veil is sometimes Of plain net ind

feet Of a harem veil. A white veil on
a black hat Is occasionally managed
with much cleverness, but the white
veil on a white hat Is Il joy of mid
summer. sure to please every one.
Summer furs are made in small

"Russla awaits the future with con-
fidence. Some monetary disturbance
may happen In. our financial system,
but Russia Is rich in latent wealth.
During the. whole war the deposits in
u savings banks have been constant
ly growing in an extraordinary fash
ion. The prohibition Of alcoholic bev-
erages has produced marvellous re.
suits Alcohol was indeed the scourge
that gnawed,A decimatedl and impov-
erished our. people. We destroyed this
enemy at the beginning of the war;
The Russian minister of finance,
when presenting his budget to the
council Of the, empire, reported:
"Despitk war expenses amounting to
u, 00O,O00D00 :.rOubles, and thanks to
the abolition of. the alcohol monopoly,
the. financial strength of the country
is growing. The savings Of the ma

"A traveller entered an inn where q

A temperate army was something
not conceived Of in the old theories Of
war. But, in fact, a drunkard Is today
as much out Of place in an army as he
would be on a %battleship. A modern

complex in Its nature than a modern
navy, and equally dependent on sobri.

The largest pictures should have first
