LACK ORIGINALITY.
A Frenchman Claims That All Amer
lean Women DEeaa Alike.

D lean women ORG00 Ahkee
A Frenchman Of sharp perception
who was recently in this country said
in speaking of American women that
they were the most beautiful women he
had ever seen in any country, far, far
more handsome as type than his own
countrywomen, says L'Art de Ia Mode.
But for their toilets, ''bah," he said,
contemptuously. ANY considerable
number of American women together
look as if they had come out of an
orphan asylum for adults, where the
inmates were all dressed alike with a
few variations thrown in, thanks to
the gifts of sympathizing outsiders
who presented some. elegant garments,
none of which, however, reached the
women to whom they were suited"
Allowing for the exaGgeration of this
remark, there is yet so. much of we'll
founded excuse for it it behooves
American dressmakers to sift out the
grains of truth from the chaff of BIZ
ased opinions and profit by these grains.
Dressmakers are not to blame for the
orphan asylum appearance producedb by
the wholesale use of ready-made dresses,
but they are responsible for their short
sighted adherence to the fictitious
value OF shapes and their lack of COM
prehension of the value of variety in
dress goods, the obligation upon all the
artistic dressunakers to suit styles of
making to the goods in hand, and of
understanding the values of colors and
their possible and desirable combina-
tons for given wearer and occasion.
Dressmakers in this country have
made wonderful strides, but a good
many of them have not fully got their
bearings yet. When they do get them
they will be second to no dressmakers
in the world. --.. - .'.... ~. .'.

PROGRESS,

Hawaii is progressing. It's Press is
evidence of the fact. Only few years
ago one daily paper struggled for ex-
istence in Honolulu, with but meager
news columns and varying fortunes.
Now there are four English dailies and
the Advertiser finds difficulty in
squeezing the news and advertise
ments into from eight TO twelve pages
a day.
Inc Press of Honolulu is up-to-date
both in it's news methods and it's me-
chanical plants. In this latter respect
the Hawaiian Gazette Company has
easily taken and kept the lead. AL
though already running two linotype
machines for sixteen hours a day its
growing business necessitates an in
crease of plant, and an order goes for
ward by the next outgoing steamer for
an additional linotype, as well as for a
power cutter and other machinery rem
dered necessary by the growth of bust
ness.
While wishing it's contemporaries
all the success that their enterprise en-
titles them to, the Gazette Company
intends in the future as in the past
to continue in the lead by sheer force
of merit and completeness of facilities
for turning out work.
