Just like you. very cheap

Alas, you whole appearances spoiled:

The modistes have dipped their pens
in dew and dubbed the new materials
names that would not sandpaper even
poets ear We no longer have pinks
and blues. tans and grays, reds and
'yellers." Instead, there are names lit
for bard to conjure with-ashes of
rose, crushed geranium Wilhelmina
blue and pearl incarnadine These
shades really ought to be set to slow
music Though you will trip over them
in fashion articles, be careful how you
try them on well-meaning but soulless
clerks. A bottle of smelling salts
should go along with a request to see
pearl incarnadine taffeta L try to
lockstep with the fashions as part
of the bread and jelly proposition, but
confess crushed geranium and pearl
incarnadine make me feel very verdant.

Black and white have already been
pushed aside by our fashionables, in
favor of colors. a modiste tells me
that all the beautiful black and white
gowns would go begging We're it not

them in the belief that black and white
are kindly disposed toward obesity
According to a fashion prognosticator
shaggy materials are the smart novel;
ties for hat making. These unkempt
materials are a delusion and joy as
far hs weight is concerned. for they
are light as feathers. The long-haired
felts win somewhat supplant made
hats, but they will be none the less ex

Miss Castle who has been, for the
summer, on Maui, and who returned
home recently. gave the first of the
renewals of her afternoon muscales a
her home in Manoa Valley on Sunday
last. Miss Castles original intention
was to make of these affairs agreea-
BILE afternoons for only such among
her bachelor acquaintance or their
friends as might, somewhat of strang-
ers in these Islands, find their Sundays
longer than do those who are counted
as the kamaainas, but the vOicing of
constant regrets on the part of music
lovers not included, has induced Miss
Castle to broaden out in the making
up of her list. An afternoon spent in
the beautiful Manoa home of the Cas-
ties is a brain tonic in itself. The
house commands. from it's site, high on
the side of the mountains, one of the
most magnificent of views which is
easily attainabe from the lanais, al
most entirely glassed and from wide
windows in the long music room.
The program rendered on Sunday last
was a thoroughly artistic one and
those present felt that they had been
fortunate indeed to have been among
the guests. The first number was a
| duet by Miss Carrie Castle and Miss
Elsner, which was followed by a song
by Mr.. Arthur Wall. A violin solo was
| next rendered by Miss Barber. who was
accompanied by Miss Maud Kinney. A
vocal solo by Mrs. Tenney Peck was
| followed by an instrumental solo BY
Miss Castle, and the last number was
sung by Miss Edith Rogers. accom-
panied by Mr.. Smith on the flute. and
! Miss Castle at the piano Among those
present were Mr.. and Mrs William

Mrs. Tenney Peck. Mr.. Arthur Wall
