The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-10-23

garnet buckles One hundred yards or
lavendar silk chiffon and twice that
amount used up in under frills pro-
.duced an effect that can we'll be ina
gined.
Here is one that l wore last night
ALSO" said Miss Verne, "but 1 regret
that it's beauty is partly lost before
the footlights.'
I siezed the thing of beauty In my
hands and would gladly. have glided
right home with it if the terrible fear
of arrest had not prevented me.
1T is a robe which 1 bought in
Japan" Miss Verne explained, land
which l took back to the states with
me and had made at Marshall Fields
in Chicago"
1t was crocaded black crepe de chine
very profusely arranged around the
bottom of the dress and thinning out
into fine sprays towards the top. La
vendar and gold predominated. On
deep pointed yoke of real lace were
dainty apliques of dull green velvet
upon which in turn tiny baby roses
were laid. The sleeves were short
and a novel feature of the gown were
two tails that were cut from the shout
ders and extending in back to the
knees From the width of the should
ers they narrowed to point and ter
minated in tassels of lavendar and
gold. Miss Vernes shoes and silk hose
with this gown are also of gold.
An Opera cloak of pale blue taffeta
embroidered in Wisteria sprays and
trimmed around the neck and down
the front with ostrich tips excited my
interest to a great degree. A scarf OF
white silk embroidered in pink roses
and Wisteria was very dainty.
A pale blue taffeta evening gown
completely covered with Battenbereg
lace, a white lingerie frock for after
noon wear from Marshall Fields in
Chicago, a cream colored Battenberg
coat reaching to the knees with very
large jet button in front as the only
ornament and a black crepe de chine
Jersey, which Miss Verne VOWS she
has to get into by the use of shoe
horn and which, by the way is the
very latest were enough to turn my
head completely, don't you think so,
ladies'?
But when the piece de resistance of
gownery was dragged out of tbs spe-
ctal pocket say dragged because
this wonderful creation weighed about
twenty pounds, l simply sighed, La
dies of Honolulu, if you miss seeing
that gown tonight you will miss one of
the most gorgeous creations of Blood
gods skill that has even come to this
town! | shall try to describe it to you
as nearly as possible as | saw it, but
l am afraid that my effort is but
poor comparison.
I 1t is of black velvet.
From the hem of the skirt-or have
those creation got any hens, or if
they have, is that homely term applied
to them?-roses in a struggling design
a heavy embroidery in a raised pattern
of gold. Around the bottom as
border are immense occasional pink
roses resembling American Beauties in
puHed soft silk while smaller buds
emerge here and there from the Straps
of gold. The most wonderful part of
it is, that pale flesh-hued crepe de
chine extends from the waist line to
the throat making a most startling
and unusual effect. Bands of the black
artilstically applied and over thou
sand brilliants large and small. With
one hundred yards of pink and black
rufhes of accordion plaided chiffon
complete the costume.
How do you like Honolulu so far,
Miss Verne" l asked watching her
place the lovely thing back to it's ac-
customed pocket.
The lady of the theatre looked up
with a smile.
Look here" she said, "if I had
loads of money, and knew that didn't
