For the past few years this natter

which is no longer childhood nor yet
quite womanhood.
This difficulty has been more Keenly
felt by Americans than by any one else.

Colored handkerchiefs are perhaps
more usual nowadays than plain white
ones-at least. handkerchiefs showing
some color, even II only a little. There
are pretty ones of crepe de chine in
plain light colors-yellow, pink. violet
and blue There are others with col

pink, brown, yellow and green flowers

the bottoms with ruche-edged ruff1es.
and some of them are held out with

the excessively short skirts worn by
some women this spring are freak
rather than a phase of fashion. Many
of the designers and dressmakers pre-
dict that skirts will lengthen before

The discharge from the Waiahole
tunnels on the windward side Of Oahu
has decreased from about 10000. 900
gallons per day to Less thah 2f0g0, 900
gallons per day, notwithstanding the
fact that the bore is progressing into
the mountain and that new pockets
OF water are being encountered as the
work progresses. From May to
June "a. 1916, the flow decreased from
about 2s.000.QO0 gallons to about a.,
100000 gallons and is still decreasing
II should be also borne in mind that
about 10000. 600 gallons Of this water
