EASY GAMES TO PLAY

Written for The Evening Star.
Christmas is the time when grown-up
people wish they were young, and young
folk, for once, are glad they are not grown
up. Everybody comes together on COM
mon plane of merry-making; and the dig
nifty that generally keeps the elders from
frisking around is cast to the four winds.
Games are the order of the day. Here are
few that can lay claim to originality, In
some measure, anyway. and certainly to
simplicity and fun-making powers.
The first is q Christmas tree party. 1t is
game in which young and old can join,
and is just the thing for the annual FAM
lily reunion
The only requisite is an old, white sheet,
which will not be needed again in its legit-
innate capacity as bed linen, and a pretty
prize. On the sheet sketch or paste a de-
sign of a Christmas tree. No artistic tall
ent is needed for this; anything recognize
able will serve the purpose. An outline in
colored chalks or charcoal is perhaps the
easiest method of making it. Have each
branch of the tree terminate in a circle con-
tanning a number, using the numbers from
one to ten or one to twenty-five, according
to the size of the tree.

trimming. but the entire skins are given,
ready to be used as her fancy may dictate
Lingerie never was so attractive as it Is
today. The fad of the moment Is not for
the deliberately tucked and iace-frilled gar
ment, but rather for elegance in the ex-
quisite stitching and the hand needlework
The French convent work Is beyond COM
pare. There is a daintiness about the nuns
skill which 1t is quite impossible for any
one to copy One may have the new wash
chiffon or some OF the soft silks made up
into lingerie but the fine French nainsook
Is most satisfactory.
A pretty conceit Is to have the BRIDES
favorite flower carried out wherever pos
sible in a design on the underclothes. If
she has a name which suggests flower,
added individuality Is secured. For in
stance. should the name be Marguerite an
arrangement of the daisy strewn here and
there on the different articles would be
appropriate. It has been noticeable lately
that many brides boldly defy all the old
superstitions. One girls bridesmaids were
gowned in black. while those Of another
wore opais on the wedding day. Two aris-
tocratic brides, having wearied OF the con-
ventional picture hats for bridesmaids, had
their charming group of attendants wear
the wells and wreaths of the old-fashioned
story books. CATHERINE TALBOT.

Christmas Sauces.

These sauces viii be found useful when
the Christmas dinner is being prepared:
Hard Sauce.-One white OF egg, four
ounces of fresh butter, two ounces of pow
dered sugar, half teaspoonful of vanilla
or four teaspoonfuls Of brandy. Beat the
butter till it looks like whipped cream
Shake in the sugar and mix again
Whisk the white Of egg till 1t IL a stiff
froth. Add it to the butter and beat again
till light and frothy. Add the vanilla or
brandy gently. Heap up In glass dish.
Crate dust of nutmeg over the top and
put in cold place to harden
Coronation Sauce-Take one pint of milk
and set in a saucepan with five good-sized
onions, peeled. Boil until the onions are
tender; then take them out and chop finely.
Make a dessertspoonful of corn -four into a
paste with a little cold milk, add a pinch
OF salt. some white pepper and work in
half ounce Of butter. Stir this mixture
into the hot milk, add the chopped onion,
return all to the saucepan and bring to the
boil Stir while the sauce SINNERS for ter
minutes. Making sauce in this way keeps
the flavor of the onion entirely.
Mock caper sauce is made by boiling
some sprigs of parsley slowly; do not chop
II finely. Set it in melted butter season
with salt and a dessertspoonful Of vinegar.
Boil up and serve.
Sauce for Wild Duck.-This is made by
adding little port wine or lemon Juice to
the BIRDS gravy. A dash OF cayenne pep
per should be thrown In, and the whole
served piping hot
In making any sauce put the flour and
butter in together. and the sauce will not

EVENING COAT OF WHITE CLOTH AND LACE

Jacket. The shape is a combination Of
blouse and bolero, the latter being of the
cloth to match the skirt while the full
part of the jacket is of white silk, heavily
embroidered in pink and blue. The upper
half of the sleeve is of cloth, with the
usual full lower sleeve of eck chiffon.
The collar is of baby lamb. which also
forms a yoke. The hat of baby lamb Is
deliberately trimmed with tulle.
For afternoon, for the daytime family
dinner, for receptions, festivals and many
other occasions, charming frock might
be made of black mousseline thiclxly COW
cred with embroidery In black. With this
a wide entire deux, cuffs and deep points
on waist and skirt. in white, heavily COM
bined with the black, would make smart
effect.
A beautiful and comfortable gown for
evening wear may be made with two bod
ices, one low and the other cut high. A
very flimsy-fooking affair of this sort built
for a clever woman of moderate means is
on a foundation of black chiffon, striped
with black velvet ribbon having q line of
white satin and sewed on with silver
spangles. Wide Chantilly lace is inserted
low on the skirt. and in each OF the large
medallions a pink carnatlon in silk gauze is
appliqued. These are used on the waist,
which has elbow sleeves. and is most be-
comingly filed In with tulle The whole
thing has holiday daintiness much TO be
desired.

lengths OF ribbon as she expects guests. All
the ribbons are in different colors, or

garlands of orange blossoms decorated the
draped corsage. The scene was certainly a
beautiful one. Within the sacred edifice a
hundred lights blazed round the hemicycie
above the altar, where pure white flowers
and green plants were massed in careless
profusion. The toilets OF the magnificently
gowned guests added not a little to the
effect of the picture.
The women of the American colony had
turned out In their smartest frocks. Mrs.
Van Dusen, the brides mother, wore a
superb costume of pastel gray miroir vel

were covered with cut-out work and rich
embroidery. With this gown she wore a
toque of white tulle and plumes.
Among the many striking and original
frocks worn by the guests one of soft green
Zibeline cloth stood out prominently. The
front of the bodice was a plated bolero

series of heightened plaits, which fell
loosely from the waist. Black silk fringe
ornamented the shoulders, while passe-

Flat Hats Popular.

Just now the tendency is to wear hats
more off the face, showing a considerable
amount of the forehead and couture. The
desired effect is easily arrived at by means
of high bandeau. Otherwise the hats are

little trimming. The best headgear is that

Becoming Wells.

There has been a decided feeling for
plain tule wells in brown, blue and white,
always crossing at the back ard tying in a
bow in front. This is merely a fad of fash
ion, but at the same time IT is very be-
coming one which has great advantages
when the wearer is motoring or travelling.
To begin with, it keeps the hat on and
shelters the hair from the dust.

FOURTH Of July

as in Honolulu, the inhabitants of the
district of Koolaupoko coming togeth.

to several kamaainas. has not been
seen there for many years.
The festivities took place in Kane.
ohe and went off in great shape. The
Kaneohe boys and the boys from Hee.
ia and Kailua exhibited a valiant spirit
OF rivalry which added much zest and
interest to the sports. The events
took place on lot mauka of the court
house. First, races of several kinds
were run, the Kaneohe boys coming
off victorious in all of them.
After that, a baseball game between
the Hecia and the Kaneohe teams took
place. The playing was amateurish,
but occasionally a good play would
elicit roaring applause from the spec
tatOrs.
The players were also somewhat
hampered by the limited area of the
field, which necessitated jumping Of
fences and bitches to chase balls.
However. the game was much enjoyed
by every one. Practically every man.
woman and child of the district who
could creep or crawl to the spot when
the celebration took place, were
present. The game was finally won
by the KaneOhe boys by score OF II
to G.
After this. the event of the day. a
ltug.Of-war between the Kaneohe team
and a team from Kailua, took place
The pull was held on the Government
britCe. which had been furnished with
cleats for the occasion.
After pulling Tor an hour. the Kane
one team had gained two and one-half
feet. Here their gain stopped, and
although the men lay on the rope for
| 3 hours and 4 minutes. no further
gain was made, and the pull had to be
postponed as It began to rain. The
pull was for a purse of $35.
After the pull, the people gathered
around the festive board and a lively
luau was soon in progress. Although
there were a large number of people
gathered. almost without exception
Hawaiians, the order which reigned
all through the day was remarkable
there being not the slightest sign OF
drunkenness or rowdyism.
The arrangements for the festivities
were in charge of Frank Pahia, II. c
Adams and z. McKeague. The resi-
dents of the district literally subscrlb
ed toward the days sports.

fourteen were injured. The shock was

damaged, the doors of the royal palace
