LETTERS TO GO
BY AERIAL MAIL
AT 2-CENT RATE

WASHINGTON. July 22.-Post-
master General Burleson has reduc-
ed the postage rate on airplane mail
to 2 cents an ounce, the regular rate
for first class mail matter, and
placed the air mail service on the
same footing with all other means Of
mail transportation.
The effect of the order, Otto Prae-
ger, second assistant postmaster gen.
eral, explained, is to put all first
class mail on the same basis and the
question of time in mailing will de-
termine whether or not a letter will
go by airplane instead of by
train. Letters in transit which miss
train connections will be forwarded
by airplane to make up for lost
time.
1t was stated that there was no
guarantee under the new arrange
ment that a letter would go by air
plane, but that persons might go to
postoffice stations where airplane mail
sacks were made up and request that
their letters be put in these sacks.
Special airplane stamps will be
abandoned, and letters need not be
marked via air post"

Dress hats for midsummer, as COM
pared to other millinery, are as orchids
compared to other lovely blossoms.
These millinery blooms are the most
fragile, most splendid Of all, the fairest
and the shortest lived. They are mid
summer interpreted In hats by de-
signers whose fancies are unhampered
by thoughts of anything but beauty.
They look to the sheerest fabrics and
to the most beautiful colors to trans
late their thoughts into millinery.
In the group Of three hats made for
the heart of summer, two are Of print
ed georgette and one of plain geor-
gette in the sheerest quality. The same
wide-brimmed, graceful shapes ap-
pear developed In laces, malines and
f, nets. Brims usually have lines In
/ flowing curves about the face and
crowns are often flexible. The hat at
+, the right Of the group is lovely ex-
! ample. A vague flower motif against
black ground provides color. There
, is no trimming except the sash Of vel
, vet ribbon, in one of the colors In the
crepe, that is brought about the crown
and tied In a bow at the back.
In the hat at the left there is
! hint Of Sport styles in the covering. 1t
Is of white crepe georgette with gay
i figures of Rin-tin-tin and Nanette dis
porting themselves over its surface. A
covered silk cord with small tassels at
! the ends disposes itself In a careless
bow on the crown-to answer "pres-
emit" in case any one asks for the
whereabouts of trimming.

Substitute for Furs.

The reported decision of clothing
manufacturers, particularly speciality
houses, of going more into leather-lined
or convertible overcoats for next fall
and winter finds an echo in the wom-
ems wear trade. According to a dress
goods representative the suggestion
that leather be substituted in some
cases for fur trimmings has met with
quite little response. The price con-
sideration is not one that holds the I'm
portant place for the change. even
though there Is a difference In favor
of the use Of leather, but the novelty
Of leather trimmings Is expected to be
q big factor.

If you would forget that there is
! anything in the world but joy, spend a
little time looking at the party frocks
in which the summer girl will dance
some hours away. If these dance
frOcks flourished in the daytime, bees
and butterflies might pursue them, for
they certainly borrow from flowers
their color and piquancy and sunshine
glimmers in their brocades and en-
broideries. Evening gowns indulge In
sumptuOus materials, in gold and sill
yer tissue, in rich embroideries and
twinkling sequins and all kinds Of
shimmering things-including the new
shot taffetas. Finally they turn to
tulle and laces or sheer crepe. A world
Of fine and fragile fabrics belongs to
them.
The two pretty party frocks shown
here are of the simpler designs, one
Of them in white and the other in
black with embroidery and brocade
sash In metal and colored brocade. The
white frock has a slim underslip of
embroidered satin, draped about the
ankles and full draperies Of fine net
ending In points about the bottom,
hang over 1t. A vestee Of twinkling
seQuins fills the V-shaped opening of
the bodice-the net makes a filmy
drapery that falls from the shoulder.
For lovely finishing touch a narrow
ribbon hangs In loops and ends from
the girdle.
