4 Why is it that more Empire gowns
/ are not seen in Honolulu? Surely they
are thoroughly adapted both to the CHI
mate here and our lanai life. The Wild
difield girls, who are always spoken of
as among our best dressers, discovered
long ago the attractive femininity of
the empire and are usually to be found
at home looking terribly fetching in
one. So many might substitute them
for holokus. Holokus seem everywhere
popular and yet they certainly don't
begin to be SO pretty as, the Empire.
The latter is equally comfortable, too.
Women often fail to study sufficiently
effect in their home clothes. The Sun
day Examiner, not long since, printed
an Interview had with Lady Algernon
Gordon LennoX, while she was at the
Waldorf-Astoria, on a visit from Eng
land to America In it she is quoted as
saying that originality should be striv
en- for, that one should study not only
ones figure and coloring, but as well,
temperament, SO that a woman'S gown
seems to belong to her-a very part Of
her. How few women really do this,
but follow, instead, every popular fad.
OF course, one must not neglect to
follow fashion, but one can, with lit
tie careful attention to the very points
mentioned above. modify prevailing
fashions until they do not conflict with
the carrying out of this same individ-
uality, and our whole mode of exist
ence here on the islands allows Of I'M

this gown. There was a girdle of
pearls and gold strands set with jewels
