Color Combinations,
Blue serge naturally takes to black
blue faille combines effectively with
black, many shades of grey, the green-
ish, copery tones, orange, terra-cotta
and similar shades. These dark com-
binations of course are correct for the
street; for the indoor dress or after-
noon gown, one may allow the color
fancy a little freer rein. There are
some wonderfully vivid touches of
color brought in now and then in ae
sombre frock, quite transforming it•'
As a general rule, however, pale tones a
will predominate this season. This;
is owing to the present condition of
the dye market; naturally pastel col -
erect fabrics require much less dye
than deep shades. It is most timelyr
that this should happen in the Sum-
mer season when we are all of us in..
seined toward white, pale pinks, blues,:
mauves,. and lavenders which are so
particularly fascinating this season.`

MELTING SOVEREIGNS.
Britain Alarmed. at Danger of New
' , Drain on Gold Reser ee. .
The practice • of melting British
gold sovereigns. to mix with other
Metals and thus make jewelry to sell
to suddenly ' rich munition workers.
and .their wives is said to have become
se alarming that an effort may be •
made during thew present session of •
Parliament to pass a law to prohibit
it. There are not many sovereigns in
circulation in England, they having
been recalled shortly after the out-
break of the war, but they can be ob•
-
tained readily in exchange for paper
notes at the Bank of England.
The gold reserve in the Bank of
England at the present time is esti-
mated at about $25$,000,000. There
are other gold reserves, of course, in
the hands of other joint stock banks.
One' of the aims of the Government -
is to ppevent sovereigns going out of
the country to keep up the reserve
gold supply and to prevent the gold
from reaching the enemy;
For the past siv.-hnonths, orave
since the munition workers began th.
work night and clay and drew greatly
increased wages, they have been ba:-
ing gold coins melted for jewelry.
The practice is said to have became
especially noticeable in Birmingham,
where inane= of the large jewelry rnalt-
ufaeturers. are located. There is no
law against the praetiee of melting
Government moneys.
Hume William, a member of Par-
liament from Nottinglune, who thinks
the Government should make it a
crime to melt sovereigns clown to
hake jewelry, said:
"As the law now stands a man c•an
take a five -pound note to the Bank
of England and demand sovereigns for
it. Be can take the gold coins to his
factory, melt them down, mix the gold
with certain other metals and make
jewelry. The mere squandering of the
.munition workers' money in tide way,
in a time of national strews, when tlie
surplus is needed for silver bullets
and for a support for the worker and
his family in possible days of neral
to come, is a bard thing.
"`There is another serious Bide mo
it, The State spends money in con-
verting bar gold into sovereigns, and
anybody can go along and get 1the
• sovereigns and melt them again, Also,
' if a man wants to tithe golden sowa-
reigns to Germany he cannot do so,
as there is an embargo against tak-
ing sovereigns out of this country.
There is no regulation, however,
against his taking gold in other forme,
"Therefore, if a nem wants to sup-
ply Germany with i=ritish gold he can
take notes to the bank of England,
get sovereigns for theist, melt them
down and take the gold, say, to Hol-
land and then get it into Gernany. -
As our gold reserve in comparison •
with that of Germany is small, it be-
comes a serious matter to allow this
golden drain."
