The growth rate of a white dwarf which accretes hydrogen-rich or helium matter is studied. If the accretion rate is relatively small, unstable shell flash occurs and during which the envelope mass is lost. We have followed the evolutions of shell flashes by steady state approach with wind mass loss solutions to determined the mass lost from the system for wide range of binary parameters. The time-dependent models are also calculated in some cases. The mass loss due to the Roche lobe overflow are taken into account. This results seriously affects the existing scenarios on the origin of the type I supernova or on the neutron star formation induced by accretion.
