H. of them will like to hear few
suggestions made by an economical ana
clever woman.
She said: IT never have my sheets
made with a small hem on one end-
There is always a three-inch hem on
both ends-so there is no top or bottom
and the sheets wear just twice as long
as they otherwise would. 1t Is not diff
cult to do. for always have my sheets
made In the house by a seamstress. SO
they will be the right size. And. speak
ing of size. do you know what to do
when ready-made linen sheets are too
short for the beds?"
OF course, I did not. so she told me
that a false hem might be added. and
either fagoted or hemstitched to the one
already on the sheet. In this way the
sheet could be easily made as long as
desired. and the embroidery only added
to the beauty Of the sheet
This is certainly very useful informa-
ton, for many a mother has tall boy
who is constantly complaining that the
sheets are too. short. The addition OF
the false hem is quickly done. and the
extra material required does not form a
very large item in the family expense

Long Life to Silk

who delights in silken hose. It
Is a new stocking supporter, and 1t -

lieve 1t will leap into favor.
1t consists Of a little arrangement OF
silk cord-so simple that any woman
might make ito be attached to the
elastic in place OF the little metal
grips SO universally used.
One end Of the cord Is passed through
a crocheted ring. the other through an
oblong link: the cord is then doubled
and knotted so that the link hangs .
trifie higher than the ring.
To adjust this new little contrivance.
the ring is placed under the edge OF
the stocking end. and when the obIong
link is slipped over both stocking and
ring-just like a buttonhole over a but
ton-the stocking is incapable OF slip
ping.
The handling is so gentle and there
is so much play for the fabric that the
threads Of the daintiest hose have no
excuse for breaking and running.

useless things unless they are

10 the aforementioned way Of using them
has always been that the hens were too

the raw edges are finished with a coarse
buttonhole stitch. 1t is no trouble what
ever to do, and takes no longer than
hemming does. The stitches sink into
the loose threads Of the toweling. and

HOW TO APPLY THE DESIGN

THERE are two ways to apply

If your material is sheer-such
as handkerchief linen, lawn, batiste

is to lay the material over the de-

If your material is heavy, secure

material; lay the pattern upon this;

work is simplicity itself. the braid the

as does the more familiar scallop.

A GOOD COMEDY
BY THE K|LOHANA

without costumes, props or seem
cry, the company rehearsing ''The
Arabian Nights" under direction of
w. D. Adams, went through four acts
of the farce last night most creditably.
: The play is a new one here and is
full of funny situations. The parts are
taken by Mrs. McLennan, Miss Nc
Lain, Miss Waldron, Miss Ray Bell
and Miss Arleigh, among the ladies.
while the male parts are well sus-
tanned by Major Potter, Mr.. Jordan,
Mr.. William Warren and Mr.. Arnold.
It is the old story of the young hus-
band growing weary during his wife's
absence being out for a lark. In one of
the London fogs he meets by chance
a young lady who happens to be one
who is doing a turn at the Aquariup.
When leaving her at her lodgings he
leaves his handkerchief, No. Is,
which a careful mother-in-law discoV-
efs is missing when she meets him in
the morning. At the same time she in
forms him that she has carefully
marked his linen with his full name
and address. The next morning the
lady of the previous night calls at
the house, leaves the handkerchief,
and insist upon remaining. There is
a mixture of relationship and stories
to fit the occasion. the wife returns
and an exposure follows. Then the
reconciliation.
Major Potter for the men and Mrs.
McLennan for the ladies, hold the at
tention of the audience. The latter
makes a capital mother-in-law with
an inquiring turn of mind, and Major
Potter does well as the husband. Aside
from suspicion of subconseiousLess
on the part of one or two, fault trat
will be removed before the play goes
to the Opera House on the 9th. there
is nothing for criticism. The charac-
ters were portrayed in a capital man
ner and Mr.. Adams feels highly pleas
ed. The regular performance viii be
given at the Opera House for the
benefit of the Kilohana Art League.

PARADE GIVEN
PUNAHOU GROUNDS

Everything has been smoothed out
in the path of the Floral Parade com
mittee, the greatest obstacle being re-
moved yesterday by the decision of the
trustees of Oahu College to allow the
paraders the use of the Punahou
grounds for the Twenty-second and
allowing them the still further priv
iIege of charging a small admission
for the finish of the big parade. This,
at the one time. allows the committee
to look forward to one Of the most sue
cessfuI parades yet given and also to
be able to spread themselves a little
more in the way of expense, knowing
that part of the outlay will come
back in gate receipts. Professor Grit
fths, of Punahou, has been delegated
by the trustees to take up the arrange
ments with A. Gartley.
