cuffs and the flat band collar was
ornamented with blue embroidery. A
tiny vest of blue velvet carried out
tue color combination.
1t is not every one who can have
f'let lace dress of the silk variety,
but some of the new cotton nets that
are in imitation of the filets, except
they are a little closer in their
weave, make very pretty dresses for
he summer dance at the seaside
mountain 'tsot;. There is a new
material called wool filet, which will
in all probability become popular, es-
pecially when autumn arrives. Miden-
cite is another material that makes
up we'll for evening gowns of all de-
scriptions, and like net, though a
coarser and heavier material, adapts
itself well to be dTaped and plated
and ruffled models. The cotton veil
ings are also in evidence for evening
gowns.
Numbers of semi-princess gowns
are to be seen constructed from cot
ton foulards that seem to have taken
the fancy of the fashionable world.
The silk material of that name has
given SO great satisfaction and done
such good service that the popular
vote endorses it's cotton substitute,
and remembering the wearing quail
tiles of the old fashioned sateen to
which foulard is a distant relation,
there is no doubt that it will meet
with as much favor as the silk arti-
Gle. In nearly every case it is made
with the semi or baby-princess mode,
although some shirtwaist suits pro-
per are to be seen. A dress of this
description with various kinds of un-
der blouses is an economy, as many
changes can thus be made.In dark
color such a dress will last one sea-
son without going to the washtub.
Embroidery upon the new linen
waists is the most correct thing to-
day. A clever woman who bought a
number of the strictly tailored goods
took her waist to professional
stamper and had them stamped in a
conventional design which she after
wards had embroidered or imported |
affairs which come WE'LL up into the
tens.
A new idea is to emb2oider white
linen waists in conventional designs
in colors, for instance a white linen
was done in rose-pink in a Greek key !
pattern and very fetching affair it |
was. A waist of this sort gives just |
the amount of color to brighten
dress.
For plain coat and skirt suit
very elegant lingerie waist is used,
but with long sleeves, and the hat
may give the touch of elegance need
ed.
One of the new skirts is made with
the now popular six-piece model,
consisting of front and back cores
and upper and lower side sections
which gives the effect of the over
skirt and hangs in long graceful
lines.
When a too great number of linen
skirts are on hand and something
different is wished for, many women
are finding pique good substitute.
They do not wrinkle as linen does. !
The guimpe is an indispensable |
article of dress today with the new
style of costumes. One of the best
materials is the all-over embroider-
les, which are shown in beautiful
designs,

OPERETTA FOR BENEFIT

Honolulu is to have a real treat the
latter part of November, in the produc-
ton of ''The Miser's Mil,'' chill
eren operetta, music by Mrs. Lewis and
libretto by Mrs. Hayes of Hilo. Mrs.
Lewis will herself direct the operetta,
giving her services for the benefit Of

Those who saw it in Hilo are most
enthusiastic in its praise, and will well
come an opportunity to see it again.
Altogether, it promises to be one of
the most delightful entertainments of
the year.

THE ADVANCE OF PROHIBITION
VAST AREA NOW CONTROLLED
BY THE "DRYs."
Enforcement Of the Laws the Princi-
pal Concern of the Anti
Liquor Forces.

A wave of prohibition has swept
with such remarkable effect over the
south. and sentiment has so crystallized
against the saloon and its kindred
evils, that the dawn of the new year
opens upon a vast stretch of territory
absolutely bereft of liquor, while the
area where prohibition has tr-
umphed marks the battle-ground for i'm
pending fights for and against the sale
OF intoxicants.
Significant of the magnitude this
problem has assumed. it is the fac,
that in many states prohibition looms
up as IA political issue Of chief concern
to the voters. obscuring other municipal
and state questions. Other state; have
disposed of the issue. temporarily. at
least. by the passage of statutory laws
whose efficiency must yet be tested. In

half of the south's territory is dry
