the inside seams to the depth Of the
wrists. The skirt is made in SIX CORES and
the two are joined by means Of belt
and the closing IS made by means Of but
tons and buttonholes.
The simple plain house gown, shown in
figure 8, is always a practical one. This
model IS graceful and becoming yet per-
fectly simple Withal. In the illustration it
is made from a pretty dotted challis but
It will be found in every way appropriate

slightly heavier ones Of wool. II can be
made either with full sleeves or plain and
It win be found most valuable addition
to the wardrobe. The straight, slightly
full fronts give long and becoming lines
and the fitted back IS in every way be-
coming.
The wrapper is made with fronts, backs
and side-backs. The turned-over collar is
joined to the neck edge. The full sleeves
are cut in one piece and are gathered into
straight cuffs and the plain sleeves are
made with upper and under portions.

THE graceful home gown shown on
first figure makes one Of the neces-
= sary elements Of the well consid-
cred wardrobe. This one Is semi-htting
at the back, loose at the front, and Is
altogether graceful and attractive. It can
be made to clear the floor or in the pretty
round length, as preferred, and with full
three-quaTter or plain long sleeves. This
gown can be made Of ehallis trimmed with
taffeta, the combination is a pretty as
well as fashionable one. but busy women
are apt to like the washable fabrics for
gowns Of this sort and they are great
many suitable ones TO be found. The
collar illustrated is a new one that is
generally liked, but there are women who
prefer the narrower, closer fitting collar,
and such a one can be used whenever it is
found more becoming. One Of the greatest
Of the gown is found in the
fact that It Is easily slipped on and of,
being closed with buttons and button
holes at the front. The ribbon ties are
attached at the under-arm seams and
hold the fullness at the front in place.
Such a simple satisfactory dress as

coming and comfortable one, satisfactory
from every point Of view, This one also
has the advantage Of being very easy to
make, for the sleeves are cut IN one with
the waist and there are only the under-arm
and back seams to be sewed up, while ft
IS a simple matter. In the illustration,
the neck IS cut square and the sleeves are
left loose, but the neck can be made high
and finished with a rolled-over collar, il
liked, and the sleeves can be gathered into
bands at their lower edges. The skirt is
a simple four gored one and can T. laid
in a box-plait at the back or gathered.
The closing Of the dress is made at the
left Of the front. This one is made of
washable material with trimming Of con-
trasting material, but all the fabrics that
are used for morning dresses are ap-
propriate. Washable materials are always
satisfactory for morning wear and we
are growing more and more accustomed
to the idea Of wearing cotton within doors
at all seasons, but such a dress as this
one can be made from any simple wool
material, such as cashmere, challis and
the like, with perfect propriety.

shown in second figure Is liked by any
busy woman. Il is especially adapted to
the nurse but also suits the woman Of
household cares. Again, it Is simple at
the same time that il is perfectly neat and
attractive, It Is smart in effect and It is
easily slipped on and of. One Of the
pretty inexpensive wash fabrics makes
this one but almOst any material Of the
simpler sort is appropriate, gingham and
chambray are much liked, percales are
used and nurses wear linen and for a
still cooler dress some OF the heavier lawns
and batistes are quite appropriate.
The waist is very simple one, finished
with hens at the front edges and made
with front and back portions. There is
a patch pocket over the left front. The
neck can be finished with a rolled-over
collar or with a standing collar and
with either collar the applied box plait
can be used Il liked. The elbow sleeves
are full and gathered into bands and nm
ished with rolled-over cuffs. The long
full sleeves are gathered into bands. The
plain long sleeves are made with upper and
under portions and can be buttoned at

 Every now and then a wireless mes sage comes to my plantation which tells one of my young. Japanese hired men that he may expect on the arrival of the next ship at Honolulu the girl who has been picked out as his wife. I do not think that in many cases the principals have ever laid eyes on each other. On receipt of the message the man gets permission to go to claim his wife. and pretty soon the pair are domesticated or the estate, and my understanding is they get on as happily as if they had known each other from infancy and been welded in the conventional way of the Caucaslans.
 Not long ago a ship from Yokohama arrived with 40 or 50 so-called picture brides. Every one of them had been chosen through photographs forwarded to Hawaii some time In advance of the arrival of the originals. Occasionally there is a pathetic case. as when not Hong ago very pretty young Jap anese maid was forced to take the next ship returning to her old home Inspec- ton showed that she had trachoma, and the rigid rule that ordered her deporta- ton could not be waived"

Custom Among Japanese Laborers in
 Hawaiian Islands
ron, the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
 NO more Orientals of the laborlng class are coming to Hawaii. and good many of our white citizens who cultl- Nate sugar estates are sorry that the faithful Chinese are barred under the law" said W. P. Harcourt, sugar planter of the Island of Kauai, one or the Hawaiian group. They are our best workers, and before the exclusion policy was applied we could count on d certain regular influx of brawny Mongolians to toll in the cane fields.
 The Chinese now Tn Hawaii have been there for many years and most of them are getting to be old men. Not many of the Chinamen have wives, but in former days not a few of them became Che husbands of the native ,1<anaxa women. It was a good cross, was this half breed progeny, and so likewise the offspring of the Japanese and native women. In recent times, however. the Japs have been in the habit of sending back to their own land for wives In most cases l think the self elected bridegrooms get their par ents back in the Flowery Kingdom to pick out wives for them.
 The matter is finally arranged through the Japanese consul, the man in the case putting up money for the passage of his intended spouse. The hour that she lands must also be the
