To add fractions with unlike denominators, we need to find a common denominator. Here, the lowest common denominator is 16.

$\frac { 3 } { 8 } + \frac { 13 } { 16 } = \frac { 6 } { 16 } + \frac { 13 } { 16 }$

Combining the numerators, we get

$\frac { 6 + 13 } { 16 } = \frac { 19 } { 16 } = 1 \frac { 3 } { 16 }$

Therefore, the answer is D, $1 \frac { 3 } { 16 }$.
