Trade Dollars Coined In italy.

A silver dollar is now being coined
by the Italian government especially
for its trade in the African colony of
Eritrea and 1t is likely that this new
dollar will become the medium of
trade all around the Red sea. For
100 years the most widely used coin in
the Red sea district has been the Aus
train Marie Theresa dollar, of which
about 2OOOOO,OO0 were in circulation
there ut the beginning of the war. 1t
is estimated that at least One-third of
these have been melted down in the
last seven years. The new Italian
dollar greatly resembles the Marie
Theresa dollar, because the Arabs are
so conservative that any radical
change would have prevented its in

SIMPLE FROCKS> ARE COSTLY
Dainty Frocks of Yesteryear Under
Present Conditions Are Real
Luxuries.

1t Is a long time since the couturiers
of Paris paid so much attention to
real summer frocks as they have dur
ing the present season, according to
Paris letter In Age Women who know
that they look we'll in these sheer af-

parel 1t is a type of gown which the
sultry summers of great part of
America have made extremely well
liked by American women, a type
which suits them, and which they I'M
derstand how to wear to the very best
advantage But that it Is extremely
becoming to French women, as well,
is demonstrated at every gathering this
season, when the weather is warm
enough to warrant the wearing of such
frail, ethereal attire.
FrockS of this type used to offer an
agreeable opportunity for economy, for
in the old days the price of cotton fab
RIGS was low and strangely out of all
proportion to their charm In these
times, when the cost of living in Paris
has increased over 800 per cent and
everything but ordinary income has
gone up in proportion. cotton fabrics
have become more expensive than silk
en- ones used to be.
Now the difference in a model made
of organdie instead of taffeta is too
inconsiderable to be worth noticing.
Long past are those happy times when
a clever lady's maid could run up a
little lingerie frock which, with the
addition of the proper accessories,
would give her mistress delightful

BLOOM LIKE ROSES
Cotton Frocks In Bright CoIors
for Midsummer.
Hued SWisses With White
Dots to the Fore.

The smile which likens the cotton
frock to flower is not by any means
far-fetched, observes a fashion
writer, particularly when one COM
pares the earlier frocks which the first
spring showings brought forth, and the

SONS the earlier cotton frocks were
shy and dainty things, pastel in shades,
modest in trimming and as fresh as
the first daffodils and violets. Now
cotton frocks are blooming like the
rose in the song, I'm crimson splendor."
NO red is too bright for the midsum-
mer dress-up gown. Brilliant crimson
voiies are to the fore, and flame-col-
ored swiSSes with white dots. Only
black or white hat could be worn
with these gay things, which somehow
or other, due TO some secret code Of
the modiste, do not look hot as one
might imagine they would But black
hats and white hats are excellent
choice for setting off the beauty of the
friily frock, particularly the transpar-
ent hat, flower trimmed with field
blossoms and showing the full details
OF the couture it covers.
That frocks can be frilly and frolic-
some and still be practically tinted is
another feature of the midsummer sea-
son. One sees just plenty of lovely
warm bronze organizes, and also many

Dress Button in Back

An interesting point in connection
with the advance styles in autumn
frocks is the tendency to button many
of them in the back, the buttons show
ing and giving a real trimming touch.
The attempt to fasten frock invisibly
in the back is always rather unsuccess-
full, because rarely is the fastening ac-
tually concealed. and unless woman

pend to help her get into her clothes.
