The great French painter Bastien
Lapage. who died lately, was pursued
by unm erciful disaster through his
youth in his efforts to study art. His
mother worked in the fields to keep
that sickly boy at school. At fifteen
he went to Paris alone, starved for
seven years, painted without success,
but still-painted. He had just finished

Paris was besieged. and he rushed with
his comrades to the trenches.
On the first day a shell fell into his
studio, and destroyed his picture, and
another shell fell at his feet, wound

lay i'll and idle for two years. Then
he returned to Paris, and, reduced, to

some patent medicine ordered a pic

They certainly were striking in the
originality Of their conception. and one
of them I liked much better than the
other. which. although very handsome,
seemed TO me little bit daring for a
gown 10 be worn even in q victoria.
My favorite was a heliotrope silk. The
skirt had an over drapery as old-fash-

ago. only now one does not think il too
old-fashioned. but merely quaint. twas

now in an old daguelreotype. The
waist was modish to the last degree,
and had big sleeves Of the heliotrope
silk. reaching only to the elbow, how
ever, while from there fell ruifie of
black jetted lace. The waist was en-
circled by band Of black Jet, and the
rest of the bodice and collar were of
white chiffon. The other frock was
yellow taifeta. slashed at the sides,
back and front, and letting in full pam

Frenchman can combine all sorts Of

Instead of using the darker shade, as
one usually does, for collar, belt and
sleeve finish. on this corsage the pale
yellow velvet was used. and my only
hope is that no one but beautiful
woman will ever don this trying frock.

little people, especially when perform
ing before visitors. They take quite
as lively interest In their work, how
ever, as those of other nationality.
Miss Mildred Kinney is the teacher In
| the Chinese school, alternating each
week with Miss Snow. A young lady
from KaRaihao Seminary acts as
| assistant.
Outside the foreign department, the
Portuguese school on Punchbowl
street has the largest attendance. The
room in the rear of the Portuguese
Church is pretty well crowded, but
will soon be abandoned for the new
building on an adjoining lot just pur-
chased from the Government. Miss
Peries Of Jacksonville, ILL.,, has charge
OF this department, with Miss Bindt
as assistant. The Portuguese are very
quick to learn, and the parents
are highly pleased with this
evidenced by the large and ever in
creasing attendance.

tens is not complete without visit TO
Miss Craig's school on Beretania
street. This school Is entirely sepa.
rate from the free kinderRartens, being |
a private enterprise. The children J

the effect Of refinement in home life. |
The free kindergarten has assumed /
such proportions that 1t will soon be

ton, the Woman's Board relinquish-
ing It's control at the end Of the fiscal |
year.
The present membership of the /
schools Is about 200, with an average |
attendance Of 175, which will, no |
doubt, be largely increased, as dona- |
tions will allow more extensive &C |
commodations. OF the present finan- |
cial standing Mrs. Hyde, In the re- |
cent report of the Woman's Board of |
Missions, says: The income from /
pledges and other such sources Is $270 |
q month, or 1920 for the year. Ex-
penses have averaged $3.50 per month.
Without any increase OF the work the
expenses next year will amount to T
1926 a month, or nearly $4,000. This
increase of expenditure Will be met I
by the income of q memorial fund OF
$4,000 given by Mrs. s. n. Castle and
family. But we desire to extend this
work to the different nationalities on
the other islands, and therefore renew
our call upon this community, gener.
ally, for special donations for this
work. The moneys contributed are
kept separate from the other funds Of
the Woman's Board. This object
must commend itself to every mothers
heart, and ought to draw q liberal
support from the purses Of our
weather. men, as well as from all
who have their mite to contribute.
