LEGEND OF THE VENETIAN LACE.
MAKERS.

Once upon time there was a girl,
dark-eyed Venetian girl, who had
a lover-all Venetian girls had once
upon time. She was lacemaker,
he was a sailor, and one day when he
had just returned from the Indian
seas she showed him the lace she had
been making. Thereupon he tossed
into her lap a wonderfully delicate
piece of coral and told her it was lace
the mermaids Yoye. in their caves deep
under the sea.
And when he had gone again she
set herself to weave her bridal veil
after the pattern of the coral she
woye. Filmy seaweed, fluted shells,
tiny sea horses and starfish grew un-
der her hand until at last the veil
was finished and it was time for her
lover to return. This is real story,
so-he came back, and they were mar
ried, she in the veil it had pleased
her fancy to make Whether the we'd
ding was quiet one or not, all Ven
ice heard of the veil. Queens and
princesses sought her out, and point
de venise became the rage.-Vogue.

CHILD WELFARE
DEMANDS STUDY
OF INDIVIDUAL

The characteristic thing about the
conduct of child that is sfatigued'
Is his lack of concentration. This
shows itself not only In the rapid
shifting of interest and activity, but
also in the inability to attend consec-
| utively to conversation or study and
in school it Is one of the common
causes Of inattention. The connection
between fatigue and this stiffness or
ipattention lies In the fact that the
child has lost the ability. to resist i'm
pulses. Every sensation. every sHg-
gestion, every thought that pops into
his head impels him to a new line Of
action, and he is too feeble to do
anything but to- obey the impulse. :
We know that the trained person,
the "able" person, is just the one who
selects what sights and what sounds
he will attend to, what impulses he
will obey and what ones he will ig-
more. To make this selection requires
experience, and a large part of our
training consists of training in this
kind of selection. Moreover, the Sc
lection requires energy and this the
overfatigued child cannot commands.
Certain types of children are much
more likely than others to acquire this
state of chronic fatigue. The very
sensitive child is most likely of all
to develop the condition. because here
every sensation starts an impulse that
either produces some muscular action
or stretches the muscles without lead.
| ing to any obvious movements In
either case the muscles are actually
expanding energy in way that con-
tributes to the fatigue. Not only ina
pulses that come from the outside
through the senses, but the wander
ings of his own imagination, are like
ly to start muscular contractions that
add to the fatigue without seeming
to produce any real work. In add
ton to these sources of wasted en-
ergy, such child is of the kind that
does not know when to stop.
He needs plenty of nourishing, sim
pie food, early bed hours, much out
door life and quiet. T.

HOW TODD SHOCKING; Feminine
TASTES PLEASED BY THE RESULT

Since shocking Is so much used at
present a few words as to how to
do the work will not be out of place.
II Is not as difficult to learn as is gen.
orally supposed, a little patience and
a certain aptitude for neediework be-
ing all that is necessary 1t is pos
sible 20 make very unusual and pretty
dresses without any knowledge Of cut
ting and fitting when fuIlness is re-
quired.
Crossbarred dimity is the best to
begin on, as the lines are a great help
in preparing the work for shocking.
There should be about three spaces to
an inch. The part to be shocked must
first be gathered into tueks Of even
size with black thread. After some
practise these spaces can be measured
with the eye, but at first the cross
barred or dotted material is a great
help and time saver. After gathering
with strong black thread as many
rows half an inch apart as will cover
the, space that is to be shocked the
garment is ready for the actual
shocking.
Mercerized floss in medium weight
in double thread is the best cotton to
use. The twisted cotton single is also
effective for coarse work. This floss
holds its color and comes in attractive
shades. The stitches are made very
much like the featherstitch and have
the same number of variations. The
featherstitch is done toward the
sewer, whereas shocking is worked
away from the sewer. Every time q
new stitch is taken one picks up a
tuck previously made by the black
hastings. After some practise it will
be- easy to pick up just the right
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1915-12-11

amount of material from each tuck.
but everything depends upon the even
ness of the spacing in the beginning.
The different stitches are made by
changing the thread from one side of
the needle to the other. just as in
feather-stitching The combination OF
stitches with themselves and with
each other is so endless that no two
garments need ever be alike, and the
combining of colors and materials
makes this work very fascinating. The
simplest stitch is like the ordinary
outline, the thread never changing
from the side of the needle and going
straight ahead, picking up new tuck
with each stitch. This stitch Is best
used where the work is to be held
closely together, especially at the
neck
1t is possible to buy patterns for
shocked dresses for adults and chill.
dren 1t should also be noted that
shocking will take two and half
times as much material as will APP
pear when the work Is done-that is.
in order to obtain half a yard of
shocked material a yard and a quar-
ter must be used. OF course this can
be gathered up into a smaller space
or stretched to larger one, but that
is the average. The materials used
for a grown persons dress must be
soft, for the fullness around the waist
will not look well in SITTER materials.
A soft yelling silk and even. chiffon
are best adapted for. this kind Of
garment. The advantages of shocked
dresses for childrers wear are numer-
ous The fullness will leave room for
growth, and the dresses may be worn
for long time. q

WHAT OUR GIRLS WEAR.

Silk sailor hats have bows on the
brim.
Among the new tweeds, subdued
plaids and checks are most in favor.
Many of the fall dresses for street

A great deal of braiding is seen both

A wrap coat for travelling is long,
from neck to foot, closely fitted and
belted.

"The Birth of a Nation"

Seats will be placed on sale tomor- row morning for the engagement of "The Birth of a Nation" at the Jeff ferson theatre next week and consid- ering the wide publicity that the Grif- fifth spectaclN has been given, the rush is expected to break all records. How ever, II performances are to be given during the engagement and early com CTS can feel safe in obtaining the seats that they want.
 'The Birth of a Nation" is not a mere moving picture show, as it is sometimes characterized by people who have not seen it. It is a mighty com bination of film, symphony music and realistic stage effects, making up the greatest dramatic spectacle that the American theatre has ever known. It is the story of the south's reconstruc- tion acted on a stage five miles long by company of 1S,000 people and 5000 horses. The total cost of the production was $500,0 and eight months were spent in making it.
 D. w. Griffith, a young southerner, who had long desired to correct cer- tain wrongs of history relating to the south's sufferings during the recon struction period, injected his soul into this undertaking.
