 New York, July 20-The summer evening frock would seem to be the simplest of all costumes to select and to plan, but contradictorally. it is not.
 For with chiffons and lacy frocks worn all day, it is quite difficult to achieve distinction in the evening, and all the heavier and richer fab rics which are so attractive in the winter are completely out of the question in July and August.
 Practically all other considera- tons must be sacrificed to cool ness. Even the colors should be dainty and delicate rather than rich and striking.
 Filmy and Light The ideal summer evening gown has something of magic and moon- light in it. suggesting the gosa- mer weave of the fairies and the witchery of far-away places. Fortunately the occasions fc' formal evening clothes are fewer during warm weather, and elabor' ateness is less to be desired than sweetness and light. Three materials that may be de pended upon to give the effect c1 filminess and coolness are lace, chif ion and tulle.
 I am showing today lace froci which I designed especially for mid summer wear. made of hand threat run lace, rose beige in color-for. in cidentally, dyed laces are having tremendous vogue.
 Three full ruffles form the skirt two of which point upward and on dips down to form the hemline tha fashion 50 particularly loves at tn

present. The very simple bodice has deep yoke in the front and back. and makes no effort toward any or namentation beside the material.
 The other costume photograp phed is also an effort to escape the obvt- ous and the routine in line and feel- ing if not in material. and 1t may be used for the afternoon tea dan sant or the informal dinner quite as appropriately as for the strictly eve ming event.
 Formal Flowers This one is as blue as the sum mer sky and as soft as cloud. Tho old fashioned bertha. which gives Q most quaint and unusual line to the shoulder, suggesting the old. short sleeve of a decade ago, is made of hand thread run lace. caught in front with bunch of metal flowers. These flowers are stiff and formal. accenting the deep point at the throat and at the waistllns. l A note of novelty is achieved m the skirt, which is circular on one side, and shirrcd to the waist on tho other. The sash is tied in care less, graceful bow, and the hemlina shows the unevenness that the we'll regulated hemline should.
 In colors there is not much to say except that yellow is having a de- cided vogue. The delicate greens also are featured. and blue has not been so smart in years as now.
 The all white gown is seen less frequently than usual. and depends usually upon the addition of some color for its effect. Naturally. since shawls are laid aside during the summer, color and dash must be achieved in the costume rather than through the use of gay and intrisu- ing accessories.

 "The picture I see of the future of women in America is woman working side by side with man. Both keen and eager and open-eyed. Sharing responsibilities. Doing good work. Getting its rewards Taking hard knocks without whimpering.
 Anyone who thinks this organiza- ton of professional and business women works against home life and motherhood and the careful rearing of families is a shallow thinker. We have wives and mothers in our or ganization-and there are no better wives and mothers anywhere.
 You take the most chivalrous of these men who put women on a pedestal Put it up to him which will make the best wife and mother -the women whose only interests are in her home. and any home can get petty after a while, or the wom- an whose mind is awake and whose eyes are open and who can see and think and appreciate this world side by side with her husband. If that man tells the truth he would prefer tho live, interested. growing. wide awake wife to the domestic moron And I think he would prefer to look back on that kind of a mother as hii own.

 "Wifehood and motherhood art . legitimate part of the life of an! woman, as husbandhood and father hood are a legitimate part of thu
 fife of any man. But they are onl. a part. They are not the whole o life. Before them, with them. ant after them are scores and hundred and thousands of other interests And just as the man who shuts hi

Whitey. the white-coated young son of Peter Rabbit, and the only one of Peters children now living in the dear Old Briar-patch. had found, right on the edge of the dear Old Briar-patch, what seemed to him like . queer little house. It was' 'a perfectly harmless house so far as he could sec. It was open at one end and inside were some pieces of carrot. One little piece had been outside. It hadn't taken Whitey long to discover that this was good to eat. It seemed to him that never had he tasted anything so delicious. Now he was trying to make up his mind to enter that little house for some more.
 But first he would look that queer little house all over. So he cut way out from the dear Old Briar- patch, for the little house was right at che very entrance of one of the paths into the dear Old Briar-patch. Once outside, he hoped all around that queer little house. He could md no other way into it. In fact. he could not see into it.
 Its a queer house. I wonder whose it is," said Whitey to himself. ''rhere seems to be nobody about. don't see why shouldn't go right in and help myself. No one will be any the wiser"
 So presently Whitey hoped around in front of the queer little house. For a long time he sat there, net daring to go inside. yet unable to leave. The longer he sat there the more those pieces of carrot tempted him. His mouth watered. It water ed more and more. Finally, he ver- tuured to poke his head in. Then he withdrew it quickly. He felt tha, he had been very daring.
 'It's all right" said small voice inside of him. "Tts perfectly all right. There isn't a thing to be afraid of."
 Whitey took a step forward. Jus As he did so something hit him from the side and knocked him sprawling In fact, 1t made him squeal rlgh out. It quite knocked the wind ou of him. Tn an instant he was on hi feet, however and was just about t. run when he discovered his mother Yes. sir, he discovered his mother.
 'D.d-did you do that?" he stut tered.
 Little Mrs. Peter nodded.
 "W-w- w-wh-what for?" cried Whit ey looking very much injured an very much puzzled.
 ''To save you from being made prisoner" replied Mrs. Peter short ly. DO you knoww what tha thing is?"
 "It's a little house." said Whitel "lt's somebody's little house: l don know wose."
