Smart women have pretended to think
that colored velyets, except for dinner

rage for black velvet has been so
fierce and so overwhelming that it was

MADE OF PICTURE POSTCARDS
Handy Little Notebook Would Mako
an Especially pleading Present
for the Children.

This handy little note-b book was
made with the aid of two pretty pic
ture postcards. In making it, two
pieces of stiff cardboard are cut out,
larger by half an inch each way
than the cards.
These pieces of cardboard are
smoothly covered on both sides with
silk the edges afterwards being I'm
ished off with fine silk cord carried
iato two little loops, turned inwards
at the corners
To complete the cover of the book,
the two sides are bound together at
the back with narrow ribbon
For the interior of the book, the un-
used half-sheets OF notepaper may
well be used. They can be cut to fit
and folded in the center, and can be
secured in their place by silk cord.
run through the center of the book
and tied in loops at the back, with
the ends knotted and frayed out into
tassels.
The small sketch illustrates the
book open, and shows the way in
which the silk cord holds the paper
in place. and when they have all been
used they may be replaced in mo-
ment By merely slipping new set Of
half-sheets under the cord.
Photographs of views or portraits
are the most suitable kind OF cards to
select for this purpose, and this little
book would make present that would
please one of the little ones very
much, especially so If his or her por-

LOVE IS KIND.

ism, in its mad rush for ma
terial things is cold and cruel
lit goes on the principal Of
the survival of the fttest, and
tramples the weak beneath its
feet. The church with its
doctrines, creeds and winding
roads does not always over
flow with that love that is
kind. How often has stran-
ger gone to the house of God
yearning for kind word and
a sympathetic touch, but has
come away disappointed. The
members were to busy shak-
ing hands with each other and
exchanging greetings to notice
the one who needed them
most; or it may have been
that some passed him but the
cold barrier Of social proprie-
ty kept them from doing what
they otherwise would have
done. How often do we allow
a heartless conventionality to
stand between us and a word
or deed that might change
the current of a life for time
and eternityl How often has
remorse gnawed our hearts
when we have learned that
great opportunities, that were
ours for helping a mortal, have
gone never to returnl The old
man across the way, the grand
father of the children whom
we had seen playing in the
yard got off the same car with
US. He had heavy market
basket. He looked tired and
worn. We wanted to rest him
by carrying the basket the
block and half to his house,
as we were going the same
way, but we let the foolish
barrier of mot having been
introduced keep US from do
ing him a kindness. A few
days later we noticed a crepe
on the door. The old man had
gone, and our opportunity of.
being kind to him had gone
with him.
Perhaps there is nothing SO
much needed to be learned
than the art of being kind, to
transform the world into a
thing Of beauty and joy. The
secret is in the love impaired
by the Spirit of Christ. Malt
bic Babcock's heart was full
of the love and everything he
said and wrote breathed forth
the spirit Of divine humanity.
Here is a note he wrote to one
which has been helpful to
many:

back through the years and
think what good friends we

known that there the real
summer season of friendship
comes. The best things we

SECOND LARGEST CROP
IN PLANTATION HISTORY

The total output Of the Maui Agri.
cultural Company for the season of
1914 is $4,000 tons, an increase Of 2660
tons over the manager IS estimate.
Joseph z. Cooke, manager Of Alexander
and Baldwin, stated yesterday that this
is the second largest crop this planta-
tion has ever harvested. The 1912 crop
was 34,612 tons. The 1914 crop should
have been at least 1000 tons heavier
and undoubtedly would have been had
II not been for the drouth last year and
the consequent shortage Of irrigation
water.
The season Of 1914 has thus far been
exceptionally favorable. There have
been heavy trade wind rains which
have kept the windward coast of Maui
drenched so that all Of the irrigation
bitches heading in the Nahiku district
have been running bank full. sde res.
ervoirs are full and there has been an
abundance Of water FOR all the fields.
The young cane is growing fine. Mr.
Cooke said that 50 far as il Is possible
TO estimate at this time the 1915 crop
will certainly equal the one Just har-
vested. The Maui Agricultural Com
pany finished grinding last Friday,
The Hawaiian gazette., 1914-07-10
ADVANCED
TO EXCEPTIONAL STAGE

Planting for the 1916 crop is far
ther advanced at the II. {. and $. Com
pany's plantation than ever before at
even dates, This condition of for.
wardness has been made possible
by the early ending Of tho harvest and
tho exceptional abundance Of the wa.
ter supply for irrigation. The outlook
is good for big crops in 1915 and q
splendid stand and large acreage Of
plant cane for 1916. Early planting
win insure an early harvest in that
year.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1914-07-10
CONDITIONS
EXCELLENT FOR CANE

J. p. Cooke said yesterday that there
is no change in the estimates for either
McBryde or Hawaiian Sugar. On both
of these plantations the juices are
going back and IL takes more cane to
make ton of sugar than earlier in
the season. This condition is as 1t
should be and is an indication Of ex-
ceptionally fine growing weather for the
young cane abundant rains and hot
steany days--McBryde will finish
grinding July 25 and Makaweli prob
ably about the first of September.
