HINTS FOR THE we'll DRESSED
WOMAN, BOTH TALL AND SHORT

The question was asked me the
ether day when Is a woman well
dressed" There are perhaps many
answers TO this question for some
seem to think that If a woman ap-
pears upon the street in. a gown OF
handsome and expensive material she
Is well dressed This is seldom the
case. for there is a time and a place
for everything, gowns included. Here
in Honolulu many women do their
morning shopping in dresses that are
far more suitable for the afternoon
Some people think, too. that a suit
may be worn at any time during the
day regardless of the Ta.erial. This,
II seems to me. Is a mistake, for only
a wooden or cotton gown should be
worn before noon and up to three
o'clock it is well TO abide by these
materials, though one is often forced
10 do otherwise, when engagements
conflict. Here in the tropics custom
has made 1t proper to wear a dainty
lingerie frock to town in the after
noon though in most any other place
It would be out of place.
Dressing for ones own style is
sometimes hard to do and many
times girls and women do not know
what particular style does belong to
them.
There are comparatively few who
can dress according to all the sea-
cons fads and still look well; but
most of us try TO keep up with the
styles" regardless of the conse-
hA fo16 hon
different types Of women look we'll
in them. The narrow gown, for in
stance, was built for the slender girl \
though there hardly ever is a par.
ticular mode that has been planned
for the stout woman alone. These
dresses that completely disguise the
waist line are for only, certain ones,
and the girl who has any lines at all
will do we'll to stay clear Of them
while the one, who, perhaps, has no
particular kind of a figure will usu-
ally look we'll in them.
Short Dresses for Tall People.
The tall person who wears short
dresses, In the attempt to look as
chic as her petit sister does, fails in
the attempt. Very few women who
are tall and well rounded realize the
possibilities such a figure affords
them. The tall woman was made to-
look stunning. What difference II
you do look little taller, wear
gowns that have long, 'clinging lines,
and always large hats. The tall. wo-i
man in a tiny hat is usually sorry
sight. and when the trailing gowns
again come into vogue. the short girl
must avoid them, for while she al.
most never appears awkward, she
surely can look ridiculous. The short
wasted dresses, too, are only de-
signed for those, who, ] might say,
are blessed with long waist lines and

WHITE PLAGUE CLAIMS
II VICTIMS. DURING JULY

The anti,tuberculosis campaign in
Honolulu did not begin any too soon.
This much is indicated by the mortali-
ty figures of the last few months CIV
en- out by the Territorial board of
health. The figures just issued for
the month of July show that of the
twenty deaths from contagious dis
eases, seventeen were caused by tub
erculosis. The report for June show
&c that twenty-five of the twenty-tour
deaths from contagious maladies dur
ing that period were the result of tub
-erculoSiS,

not for the little Miss whose lines are
not long.
The Hair Dressing
Then. too, the dressing OF the hair
plays an important part in ones
makeup. 1t would be hard to say
here that one type of girl should ar
range her couture in one way and an
ether, in some other way, for the
manner in which your hair is becOm
ing must be found by you YOURSELF
would suggest, though. that If your
nose turns upward a bit you should
not attempt the Psyche. Always
when combing your hair avoid the
hard lines and usually 1t is more be-
coming II the corners OF the forehead
are concealed. The bangs that are
so popular now are not becoming to
many, although they are worn by the
majority of girls and women away
from here. When once you have
found the way your hair looks best
stick to that style and don't change
1t every time some one else does.
The idea that false hair Is necessary
is all nonsense, for a little real hair
is much prettier than lots of store
hair. The girl, however, who has not
naturally curly hair would do we'll to
curl, or rather wave, not crimp it.
The old-fashioned crimps have long
gone out of vogue.
Selection Of Hats
One should be very particular, too,
in selecting ones hats. The advice
given by women who have had years
of experience say that you should
first select your hat and then see that
your gowns harmonic with it. But
just because you want certain shade
of blue to run through your wardrobe,
don't buy an unbecoming chapeau be-
cause it is the only one in the shop
that is trimmed with it. At the pres
ent day there is really no definite
Style in hats. Both the large and
small ones seem to be in vogue and
are equally popular with women
There are still many tall women,
thoughS who seem to think that the
email poke bonnet is becoming to
them. This is very seldom the case
for a large hat lends certain dig
nifty to her that cannot be said Of the
smaller one. A large rather fiat hat
should be chosen by the unusually
tail woman, whereas a large one that
Is built up high not only adds height
to the woman of medium size but
makes her more attractive. The small
girl seldom looks we'll in large hat.
The small bonnet shapes are more on
her style and she will do well if, she
selects them so long as they are worn
at all. ss ,.~,@ 4
Now as to the answer to the ques-
ton when may woman be consid-
cred we'll dressed, my answer is when
she is gowned according to her own
style. :.-. 49,. .E..5

POLLARDS SEEN
INA TOYSHOP
Juveniles in Familiar Play
Which Is Well Staged
and Well Done

Some of the cleverest staging seen
in local theaters for long time is on
display in the attraction with which
the Pollard juveniles are closing this
week at the BUou. The show is the
familiar "Toymaker," whose very IA
miliarity insures the attendance Of
many friends, and last night the open
ing performance was we'll done and
enjoyed by large audiences.
The only criticism to be made, and
one which does not greatly detract
from the real merit of the company,
is that the casting is not exactly for
tunate Miss Eva Pollard, for in
stance, is cast as Lancelot, the dash
ing young gentleman who seeks out
the wonderful doll in the Toymakers
shop. Miss Pollard seems rather out
Of tune.
Miss Queenie Williams, the bright
youngster who has already made a
big hit here, is clever as the Doll, and
Teddy Mcnamara carries off the COM
edy honors with his conception Of the
part of the eccentric Toymaker. The
bill continues for the remainder OF
the week, and a Saturday matinee is
given. Two shows are offered night
ly, and the double trick ought to be
a winning one this week.

VALUABLE COOPERATION.

a cooperative undertaking is being
carried out by the Wisconsin expert
ment station and Ashland and Bayfield,
counties, in the northern part Of the
state, that Is to be strongly commended
from the standpoint of good sense and
practical value. \ quarter section of
cut over land, most of it of the red
clay type. was given jointly by the
two counties for use as a branch ex-
pertinent station. The state will equip
and manage the farm. and a foreman
from the college will be in charge. Any
workers of the college who may re-
quire the red clay soil in their expert
ments will be assigned plots on the
farm in question, which is located near
Ashland Junction. In addition to the
strictly experimental work, the crops
will be so planned as to serve as a
demonstration to nearby farmers.
Meetings will be held each year when
the crops are in the best condition for
demonstration purposes. The superin-
tendent and his assistants will be at
the service of the farmers of the
northern part of the state and help
them in every way to improve farming
conditions. The land comprising this
farm is typical timberland, and the
same problems will have to be worked
out that the homesteader in the Sec
ton would have on his hands.

The Roosevelt Dilemma.

Mr.. Roosevelt, after many
weeks having worked up his
stage play, has threatricalIy an
nounced formally his candidacy
for the presidency. Nobody
is surprised at this. 1t was
quite plain two months ago he
would do exactly as he has don.
He has played for effect an old
customer with him-but the eff
feet among many thinking people
has not been what he desired.
Mr.. Roosevelt, it appears to US,
has made the one stupendous
mistake of his life. We do not
believe he can be nominated
in the face of the powerful
federal machine. If defeat.
ed for the nomination he will be
the worst discredited public man
in all the history of this country,
if he puts a blight upon Taft's
nomination by steam roller"
methods of his own, he will be
hopelessly lost in the count next
November. Yieldingsto an o'er-
weening ambition, he has put
himself in a position to be de-
stroyed.
The Taft people, we feel NOR
ally certain, will win in the
Chicago convention. We gather
his not only from Kentucky. but
many other states, But the de-
feat of Roosevelt in the conven-
tion will only make more sure
the defeat of Taft in November.

to be in a most deplorable con-
dition. .-Owensboro Message.

RATS IN THE JELLY.

4 reader whose good wife's jelly
cupboard has just about been cleaned
out by rats asks the writer what he
can do to get rid of the pests. Any
person who has had experience in this
matter knows that it is a good deal
easier to tell how to do the job than
it is TO actually do it. However, there
are several methods that have given
good results. In the line of traps good
results can be had with the cage trap.
f the whole rat tribe in the
immediate locality can be inveigled
into it in q night or two. The spring
or guillotine trap is one of the best
we have tried and is the more effec-
tive if the bait used is tied to the
tongue Of the trap. There are several
rat pOlsons on the market which do
the business if used according to di
rections, while an excellent, slow
working poison is made by mixing one
part of baryteS with eight or nine
parts of cornmeal and adding enough
wetting to give a stiff dough. Small
quantities of this should be placed in
the runways of the rats. out of reach
of poultry or other creatures.

Attractions of a Malay Hotel.

We are so accustomed to reading in
the guidebooks that the local hotels
are the best in the east that it is re-
freshing, says the Java Times, to CONS
across n description of hotel in the
little town of Kuala Lumpur, in the
Federated Malay States. Here are a
few points which our hotel proprietors
might notice: Bedrooms, 81 feet by "a
feet by 20 feet, each with two electric
twenty-five candle power lamps, cleo
trio bell and electric fan: a bathroom
80 feet by - feet attached to each bed
room and fitted with tops, foored with
colored tiles, walled with white Min
ton dittos; a long, continuous corri.
dor 625 feet in length by IL feed broad f;
each electric bell fitted with return"
ring, so that the visitor knows at once
whether he is being attended to.-Lon-

A COSTLY LESSON.

The writer has in mind pretty
level headed orchard owner who
somehow got the idea that the chaps
who are in charge of the horticultural
work at his own and other state ag-
ricultrTal colleges were impractical and
did not know what they were talking
about when they laid much stress on
the importance of thorough spraying
with arsenase OF lead within ten days
after the petals fan This was in the
season of 1910. Acting on his own be-
lief IN the matter, he delayed his first
spraying for the codling moth until
the little calyX cup was closed and
the apples We're about twO-thirds OF
an inch through. The theory of the
college men was amply justified in the
fall. when this Orchardist had no end

DIRT AND DISEASE

Many of the diseases that attack
farm animals are traceable to germs
that flourish and live from year to
year in the litter in and about stables
and pens, many Of which are in de-
cidedly insanitary condition. Among
the germ life f1ourishing under these
conditions are likely to be those Of
tuberculosis, contagious abortion, ma
vel disease. lumpy jaw. hog and calf
cholera. while parasites that cause
scab, mango and itch likewise flourish.
Where.a stable is in such condition it
should be given a thorough cleaning.
This should include not only brushing
down cObwebs and dust from ceiling
and walls and n thorough cleaning Of
the partitions and floors, but when
this has been done the interior should
be given a coat of whitewash made by
adding salt and three or four table
spoonfuls of carbOlic acid to q consid-
erable quantity Of the lime wash.
This should be kept stirred and may
be applied with a broom or long han
died brush, but the job is more easily
and effectivelf done if one has a spray
pump such as is used in orchard spray
ing operations. Applied in this man.
ner the solution can be forced into
every crack and crevice.

Keeping Il All Dark.

Many a theatrical manager, in search
of more favorable conditions under
which to produce startling stage ef-
fects, has wished that he could turn
of every light beyond the footlights,
leaving the audience and orchestra IN
total darkness. The great drawback
to this has always been that the c-.
chestra players need some light TO see
their music. A novel solution of this
has been introduced in a London thea
ter, where the orchestra players read
music printed in white ink on black
paper. In addition the musicians elec-
tic light bulbs are fitted with special
shades, which reflect little or no light
beyond the black music sheets.
The white shirt fronts of the orches-
ira players are hidden by black bibs,
and baldheaded musicians have to
wear black caps.

SELECT CULL|NGS
PassinQ of the Boston Baq.

One cannot but be impressed with
the growing use in the Hub of the
leather Gladstone bag in place of the
green cloth bag which used to be so
prevalent and serviceable to carry
small things in. from shoestrings TO
volumes Of Emerson and dictionaries.
and which was and still is especially
affected by nleD with spectacles ard
students at school. The green bag has
indeed been q Boston institution and
almost as famous as Boston baked
beans. but seemingly it has its limita-
tons in capacity. knowledge has
grown so. or at least its apparatus.
that something larger and stronger is
now required than the green bag. IN
less it is to have the dimensions of a
mail sack. and so has come into vogue
the Gladstone bag. which besides be-
ing larger is also much stronger, and
then it has a handle. at the rate Of
increase scholastic impedimenta are
found necessary to the highbrows as
they journey about in pursuit or de-
post Of knowledge, presently a sort
Of literary motor cart will have to be
devised for their special use.-Boston

Of the history not only Of the Bahamas

as well, it is far from surprising that

Del eratia Off Canadian Coins.

the Del gratia" seems to have disGp-
