chiffon cloth and hemming 1t. The
wells have a selvage which makes
them quite effective.
One OF the attractive ways of
draping them is to catch one at each
shoulder, drawing it up under the
arm and fastening on top with paste
buckle. The edges lower down may
be lightly caught together over the
arm little above the elbow. This
gives filmy but straight drapery from
shoulder to hem which puts one in the
picture this season.
Again, an extra long veil is dropped
across the back and caught at the
back Of each shoulder with a buckle
and the ends left to hang straight.

SIX new LECTURES
TO BOOST HAWAII

When Mrs. Headlee leaves here to
Hawaii in Los Angeles, she will be
equipped with six new lectures to
help her in promoting the interests
of this Territory. Moving pictures
and lantern slides will form no un
important part of her promotion ma
terial.
One of the interesting and unique
features of Mrs. Headlee's collection
will be a fine set Of moving pic
lures, the work Of r. X. Bonine.
These have been selected with par
ticular attention to their value for
promotion purposes, and will prove
quite an attraction, It is believed.
Mrs. Headlee is now on Maui,
studying that island, and printing
herself with facts for the boosting
campaign which she is soon to take
UP. From there she will move on
until she has made a circuit Of all
of the islands OF Importance In the
HAWAIIAN group.
One OF the lectures which Is
planned is a tour Of the Island Of
Oahu. Mrs. Headlee will be taken
around the island in motor car,
ample opportunity being given to
observe all the points of interest
along the way. including sugar
plantations and pineapple fields.
This trip will be illustrated with a
particularly interesting series OF
lantern slides.
Secretary II. p. Wood of the Pro-
motion Committee is doing all In his
rover to assist in the collection OF
data and pictures, and II is believed
that Hawaiian promotion work in
! Los Angeles will be carried on this
winter with renewed vigor and Of

Cricket Match
At Mak.ki
SATURDAY.

Captain McGill of the Cricket
Club Is trying to arrange match
for Saturday next, and It seems very
probable that there will be a good
game between the members of the
club.
Last Saturday week there was a
good turnout of players,and an en-
jOyable game was played. Several
new men tried the game for the first
time, and from the remarks they
made and the form they showed. II
looks as II they will be an acquisl-
ton to the cricket club. The old
regular standbys are sure to turn up
for game, and now that fresh
members are Joining the club the
prospects look brighter than they
have for long time.
There is some talk OF having an
all.day match on Kamchamcha Day
and the idea is being taken up with
enthusiasm by a number of the
cricketers. An all-day match would
allow of each side having two in
nings, and, as that Is the real way
TO play match. the excitement
would be kept up, and the interest
In the game much kcener than when
only half match is played.
The cricket ground is in good or
der now. and all that is needed Is
Il general buckling up Of the men,
hers of the club and a good turnout
on Saturday afternoon. The talk oil
a cricket pitch right in the city,
where players could practice every
afternoon without the necessity OIL
having to go out In the car, is being
revived, and possibly sufficient land
can be obtained to form a practice
wicket on. This would be grea'
boost for the game, and is players
could reach a ground without any
trouble no doubt the game wouIt
flourish as It never has before.
Captain McGill is taking arount
a list of members Of the club and Il
asking each one whether he can pla!
on Saturday or not. II Is to be hop
ed that there is big turnout o
players and that match will b,
played between picked sides.
