uncomfortable, Brentwood chairs became
luxurious backgrounds for the display of
delicate frocks.
On the promenade. too. the luxurious
wraps were much in evidence, the wrap
warm as the garden invariably was
being the conspicuous part of the cos
tune. For your fashionable woman of
the elect circle, however informally she
may chat and gossip in her box-seem-
ingly unconscious of the gaping crowd
just below-never ventures down among
the throng on the promenade without
enveloping herself in her wrap.
And in truth one felt grateful for the
custom, for lovely as the gowns were
the wraps were even more interesting;
and while the intricacies OF the Paquin,
Worth Callot and other Paris inspired
frocks were beyond the widest hopes of
the little upstate dressmakers who came
to carry home ideas, the wraps pre-
scented far less difficulty in their simple
lines to woud-be duplication.
In fact. the evening wrap, with loose
unprecise cut and its variety of trim

enced hands that one wonders at the

Another magnificent fur evening coat
was built of alternating strips OF sable

coral chiffon was matched by oval orna-

in the brown fur.

ers; but all the summer piazza circles
this year were making flower pincushiOns
for Christmas giving. For hat pins there
are graceful carnation affairs made of
narrow ribbon Topped over one of the
deep. narrow glass retorts which may
be obtained at any chemists. Green
ribbons are used to suggest the calyx of
the flower, a fluffy fringe of pink rib
bon loops representing the petals.
Shirred satin ribbon makes the pretty
pinchuson that looks like a big sun
flower. The stem and leaves are formed
by winding pale green ribbon over flexible
wire.
Glove-mending sets are appreciated by
all wonderland some especially well
brought up men. From a celluloid ring
depend strips of narrow ribbon in various
lengths. each ring being weighed by an
other ring. sewed firmly to the end. To
these rings are fastened the implements
necessary for successful glove surgery.
Thimble. small scissors, sewing wax,
wooden darner and bunch of the braid
ed glove-mending thread in various shades
should be included in the outfit.
A needlework set may be made in much
the same way. Two half-inch- wide rib
hons should be braided In and out OF
small crochet rings, the braided strip to
be long enough to pass behind the neck
and fall over the shoulders into the lap.

Ribbed Silk Coats Smart.
This years craze for the wide-wale
fabrics has brought forward many beau
tifu evening coats of ottoman and ben
galine silk But the ribbed silks, be-
cause of their sudden climb to the pin
nacle of favor, seldom hold first place
long and the woman who does not order
her evening wraps-like her hats-to
match each gown, would best select a
more staple material.

little instrument has been invented
by which to time the bath. 1t looks
not unlike large thermometer. but on
observing closely one sees that one-half
of 1t is filled with sand on the order of
an egg boiler.
1t takes thirty minutes for the sand to
run out entirely, and minute indications
mark its way. By hanging it in d con-
venient place one can watch and so dis
cover how long the bathing takes.
When needed again the instrument is

orately trimmed and many Of the beauti-
gold thread embroidery. Heavy white
silk embroidery is especially rich on pure
white cloth or satin wraps, and when
to the embroidery is added an arrange
ment of white silk frinse-as In today's
charming illustration-the distinction of
effect can scarcely be surpassed.
But however ailuring the white wrap
may be, these perishable belongings,
whose beauty is so easily spoiled, are
only for the woman whose carriages or
electric broughams are always in wait
ing. The little woman who must trans
port her finery to her festivity afoot or
in street car or train wisely selects
wrap Of more practical coloring.
Black Wraps Favored.
The most practical color, of course, is
black: and the black evening wrap has
the added virtue of being inconspicuous-
a rather important point for the con-
sderation of the woman who must make
such garment do duty through several
seasons

pretty frocks inartistically peeping below
ordinary tailored coats, or pinned up be-
meath the grim disguise of raincoats.
An evening cloak is such bewitching
thing-the atmosphere of luxury and
leisure it suggests is so alluring that one
wonders the more that every woman
does not economic on her daytime cos
tunes and indulge herself with the fascl-
mating accessory of an evening wrap.
Making an Evening Wrap at Home.
The evening coat need not necessarily
be expensive. From two yards of broad
cloth may be cut a big cape that will
cover the wearer from neck to heels
And doubtless a r1lmmage through ones
wardrobe will bring to light a half-worn
party frock which can much more wisely
be turned into an evening cloak lining
than made to do shabby duty through
another season.
The Lining Is Important.
Even more important than the outside
is the lining of the evening wrap. 1t
should be as handsome as ones
can afford; for it is constantly in evil
dence, when the cloak is flung back
draped over chairs or carried on an es-
cort's arm. If the outer fabric be dark
a gay lining will save the wrap from
any suggestion of somberness. If the
wrap itself is light. the lining can scarcely
be too dainty and delicate. And the lin
ing. be It remembered, should always
be chosen with it's character of a har-
monious background held strongly in
mind.
Capes Lead in Favor This Year.
While many handsome cloaks and coats
are seen in the theater Hobbies, at The
opera and under the awnings of fash
ionable weddings, capes seem to have the
high mark of favor this season, espe-
cially among younger women These

crastinating folks contend that half the
fun of Christmas is in the frantic hurry

However this may be, the needlewoman
whose fingers must contrive little remem-
ORANGES in the last strenuous fortnight
will be apt to choose the things that may
be fashioned speedily. as well as easily
Any helpful suggestions along this line
are always welcomed enthusiastically by

necessity of getting TO work until almost

A Military Manner of Drap1ng.
Extra warmth is given to some of these
long capes by the method of draping one
front across the other. When the wearer
is indoors. the fronts of the cape hang
open in the usual way to display the
pretty frock beneath. Before one steps
into the cold night. the right front of
the cape is thrown upward TO the left
shoulder, three buttonholes near the
bottom of the front being fastened to
the three buttons along the left shoulder
seam.
This is a graceful notion as well as
practical one; and will be welcomed by

White Wraps for the Opera.

gregate in the wide Hobbies at the car
riage entrances of the opera houses wear
white wraps. There is sonnet hing par

Fashion Notes

Cotton Crepe Shirt Waists.

A Paris blouse of hand-embroidered
Japanese crepe is the newest and smart
est shirt waist notion. There has been
such a craze for these crepe blouses Of
late that the genuine Japanese crepe is
hard to get and is rather high in price.
American cotton crepe is good substi-
tute for ordinary blouses and this crepe
is being brought out in very dainty color
ings as we'll as the creamy white which
is the favored Paris shade. A trimming
of coarse-meshed cluny lace will make
the blouse correctly French in style and
the dainty hand-embroidered dots and
featherstitchings may be easily done at
home.

centuate the outline trimming of the

MIDNIGHT WEDDING
TAKES PLACE IN HILo

LAANAAC L 4AfASAA AAN AAA1O
1t is not often that the romance of
a midnight wedding takes place in Hilo
therefore the more interest will be at
tached to an event that occurred on
Thursday night of last week. But
sailors are known to be ardent lovers
the world over, and as one of the
principals in the event was a mariner
from the Mauna Kea, which sailed for
it's home port on the next morning,
everybody will applaud the act that
made two hearts beat as one.
1t had been intended that the cere-
mony should take place earlier in the
evening, and Arthur Richardson was
the official from whom it was decided
to procure the license. But Arthur
was not to be found. He was not at
home and he was not at his office.
Where was he? Watching the fate of
MY Partner" at Spreckels' Hall, little
thinking that there were two souls
waiting for him to help them become
partners for life. They did not like
to disturb Arthur, so waited patiently
till he emerged on Front street when
he was told to hurry and to do the
stunt quickly.
So the marriage license was issued
that empowered William Larsen, of
the flagship Mauna Kea, and Miss
Alice Stupplebean, of Wainaku, to be-
come man and wife. The bridegroom
is son of old Bill Larsen of Homo
lulu, and the bride is the belle of Wal
naku. Today they will receive the
congratulations of their many friends
who have, so far, been kept in ignor-
ance of the happy event.-Hawaii He
