Upon reaching tha city ' they appear read and lovely to look upon and o gbout their ahopplng, railing; and lunch aartlee feeling comfortable and looking attractive.

Tha unattractive caterpillar in dark traveling; - garb la transformed Into a radiant white but terfly, and tha automobile has worked this transformation. . The Illustrations on this pare are rood egamplee of tha etylea of whita rowna worn In town and in transit thither. -r : while manr automobile gowns are made with stock collars, it Is smartest . to wear, them without oollars end with Just a finish of laoe about tha neck. , which may be cut high and "round, or Just a trifle low, aa In the Dutch neck. with a round or square effect A Motor Gown, In Mull. " When - necks are" cut In this style fashion providea aa a protection when In the motor car a long aoarf of chiffon of the eolor of the gown, and thla may be wound around and around the neck and shoulders aa often as msy be nec- . eaaary to warmth. Another smart fashion Is to wear a big square of very thin white mull, edged with narrow luce. and wrapped around the shoulders. ' These aoft iTraperles are immensely be coming to women and afford aa much protection aa they need on warm or duaty day a. Tha gown shown tn Flrure A la In ' tended to wear at a luncheon, and la built of very sheer white mull The top Is made with 1) rows of corded ahlrrtng leas than half an Inch apart -,ja tna lower part of the eklrt two .' croons of live tucks each alternate with ' a wide band of two contrasting kinds of open laoa inserted between them. The ' lower half of tha lace bend la tn Flem ish lace, with a deep acelloned edge ap- pllquea upon tne ton or the tucked nor- tlon beneath It Still farther down two wide banda of very e?n thread lace . alternate with a wide band of Flemish lace. A bottom border of the aama lace la added, with Its scallnpa hanging above a medium wide flounce of Valen- . clennea. , The drees gores In the bark are cut lone- In order to lengthen the train. which is given additional Mength by In serting the full width of' transparent . lace bartd la tha back. They are only half width la freaf and graduate at tha sides. Around the lower portion of a plain Mouse of sheerest mull-are a group of five email tucks followed by Ave rows of corded ehirrlng. Tha top of the Mouse Is of open la ca, with a round, mllarleae neck and a lace stock to be !th rn'iTH-TrTf-wm. mr man ihj. low yoks la bordered by a row of deep lire tnnw each-Jab finished with three mbroidered points edged with Flemish Tbeee tabs haaf aver Wide .wAwVAnarA if X-aVi' a- v - - y ' m jay- s saw . ill band of open laca bordered by large Bcallopa of tha Flemish pattern. - - A puffed aleeve of Flemish laoa Is gathered to a wide, fitted band of open laca. . From thla cuff long points of embroidery edged with Flemish lacs are turned up on the ruff of the aleeve and caught in place. . The effect Is very charming. .,..,-.'';. s , Smart Simplicity in Pure Wbitet ' Thla gown Is worn with a moderately wide round aatin girdle, which may be finished. In the back tn any of the amart styles at present In vogue, i It la not necessary .to use the aama lacea as those Illustrated. Tha Idea la to combine a very open meshed lace with ona of cloaer pattern and heavier variety, although really heavy lacea are no longer. amart on auch material a and the contrasts are now effected by meana of open and close meshes of lace. Any stieer white material may be made up In tbts pattern, which Is. very simple and yet quits -beautiful. . Flgue B shows a simpler gown of thin white material for use In the satomoblle when coming for a day In town. The skirt Is pat on ths belt tn groups of seven tiny tucks each at short Intervals apart.. These tucka terminate Just be low the tilpa. The akirt la embroidered over in clusters of flowera and -polka dots. The bottom of the skirt Is trimmed - with three - ruffles of Valenciennes laca over an Inch in width. The last of theae ruffles edges the eklrt, end ths upper two are put on tn deep Vandyke polnta beaded by a row of Valenciennes Inserting and with the Intervening points of the material filled In with a lattice of inserting or tha aama aort pf lacs, about half an Inch In width. If tha task of putting In thla inserting proves too much for, the home dress maker, tha polnta could be decorated with crosswise tucka or little crossing raff lea of lace. , Theae would not be quite as effective aa the dainty lattice. . Above theae lace polnta la a wide Wall-of-Troy border of embroidery, over which Is ' embroidered a trailing vine. The .train of the akirt la lengthened tn the back by making the laoe-bordered points longer there. . ' The lower portion of the blouee la made In groups of flvs tiny tucks with intervals of plain material aver an Inch In width. . The chemlsetta of sheer figured lawn has buttonholes worksd along the upper edge below a finish of lace. Ribbon la run through theae buttonbolea and tied tn a little bow In front. - A deep, square-pointed collar eitends out from this chemisette which Is bor dered by a wide fold of light blue aatin, of graduated width, crossing In tha cen tra of the front In a point, with three overlapping taba In each banging end. Ths collar la made like the trimming on the bottom of the drees en a small acale, and la flnlahed -around the edge with a tiny hemstitched knife-pleated ruffle. The back of the collar la In a wide curve, following the outline of the aatin fold which outllnea the beck of the neck below the narrow lace edge. Here the top of the collar la made In little tucka flnlahed by a narrow Valenciennes ruffle above a border at Wall-of-Troy with an embroidered vine running over It It has ths same edging of pleated lawn which comes up tha divided cor "Ta.oi .tha. .collar upon , tha . shoulder.

This Is. of embroidery edged at the top and bottom by Valenctenaea lacs put on In little ruff lea. The puff of the aleeva la crossed by three folds of the dress m terlal4 with laca rufflea on their lower edges. This style of-gown Is suitable for al most any thin material, whether flow ered or plain, colored or white, cheap or ooatly. In the case of flowered and figured materials It must be remem bered that less laca la necessary la ths trimming. , r , An Effect Tn Whita Linen Canvas. - Quite a oontraat ta the aoft delicacy of ths two eostumes shown Is the white linen canvas gown ahown la Figure O. It la of a vary heavy quality of linen canvas, heavier1 than crash and, very handsome both la material and appear ance. ' f U . . It la a ault ooatume, w(Lh a aktrt, coat and choice of two walata, one of canvaa and one. of lingerie. As ths latter Is daintier for midsummer, . as well as cooler, that one la ahown In the picture. A braid which looka Ilka a tow of hand embroidery, and which is . the width of soutache,- Is used In the trimming sad haa all tha appearance of an embroidered outline stitch. Ths coat la made with a aeam on the ahoulder and with the neck bordered by four rows of this braid. The front la out In tprae deep narrow pointed panela from the neck and ahouldars down. Theea polnta are folded square at their apex. Between them are - panela of coarse-meshed open laoa of a new' and fascinating variety, widening at the bottom - Into, acatlopa - that are edged with deep fringes of .linen ollvea and tassels and bunches of fluffed-out knots. Thsse panela are sewed down -to ths points of linen with-two rows of the braid in a leather pattern. The front edges of tha coat' are In two narrow linen veat piecee part of the way down, trimmed and fastened with little froge and knots of braid. Tha back of the coat la tn two pieces aa each aids a center panel of the pe culiar lace, which ends in a acallop abovethe belt and la framed In a ladder of braid. Narrow lace panela, acalloped at the bottom and pointed at the top, finish the sldea of- the back, which are connected to the aldee of the front by two straps ' under each arm near the bottom of lh coat Fringe trims tha scallops In ths back, end tha coat la without eleevea. Sleeves may be Inaerted by cutting tha underarm pieces wider and eurvlng out an armhole, but the odd square methods of finishing off tha armhole of ahort Jackets are very pretty. For eoats of this kind home-made crochet laoa and Hardanger line or crash may be employed by theae . who cannot well procure' distinctive trim mings. The lace In thla Illustration Is like a fishnet of coarse linen thread with a pattern appllqued upon it formed of piecee of linen mesh but little more open than that of the material, outlined -bjtbraid. nd..,trlmmtdirJUi--bjajibuu, tone. Persons might of course imitate It to a certain degree by cutting out deelgna In loose-meshed crash-and work ing them down upon aa opea net in tha aama manner,-,, .... , C A "" Handsome Street Gown of Heavy Linen with ' Appbqne Ltce Triinrninf. This Is merely a blot to tha . home dreaamaker who must economise In every particular. The akirt of this amart costume la eat upon-the belt In 11 panels made of ona front gore, four bog pleats on each aide and two box plaata In tha back. Tha aide box pleats are all tucked tn their tops with three tiny tucks each. Theea little tuoks only extend a few Inches down and give a snug fit to ths FINE CAMP OUTFIT.

Stamp errors, er poatago, stsmps de fective through mlntakes in printing or a wrong use of colore, are everywhere highly prised by collectors, and the premium- upon, them often exceeds that oommanded by some of the rarest spool mens of the regular issues. The prin cipal reaaon for their' high value la due to the soarolty of ths errors, as In every case the government isaulng them puts forth every effort for their recall, and thua very few aa a rule come into the possession of the general public. There are many of theae errors, all of them commanding high premiums. In some esses they are sold for aa much aa It.
