Local Far East Section is Brimming With
Wealth Of Art Treasures Gathered from
China and Japan for Honolulu Stores

As Christmas draws near and
Santa Claus hovers somewhere
over the islands, Chinatown-which
includes all Oriental stores in a
large and not exactly defined sec
tion-takes on new life and added
attraction.
The quaint workmen in the jew
elry shops speed up their produc-
ton; in the Japanese bazaars the
rare and shimmering silks and the
bright colored kimonos are heaped
all day long on the counter, and
the streets are crowded with shop
pers.
No matter how much time one
Spasses amid Oriental art treasures,
one never becomes surfeited with
them, for there is a certain air of
mystery about the products of the
Far East that keeps ones interest
aflame. Perhaps it is because the
art of the Chinese and Japanese is
so unlike that Of the Occident that
1t holds its charm; or maybe the
reason is to be found in the histor-
ical associations that the Oriental
vases and paintings, bronzes and
lacquerware bring with them over.
seas.
The religions Of Japan are plainly
reflected in the nations art, as is
true Of most other countries.

turn our attention to the scrap-box
and pick out dainty pieces OF muslin
that can be made into lingerie. Dainty
corset covers can be made OF ever so
small remnants of nainsook and lace;
perhaps We may even have a tiny
piece Of georgette or crepe de chine
that could be used. The cover in
the hands of the pajama-clad lady is
an excellent example Of what you

The robe de mutt is made in the

shoulder are made of tucked net. A
few tucks in front and back give need

garment slips on over the head.
The charming little figure on the

from the topmost bow on her pretty
head to the newest Of new footwear.
Something about the boudoir cap

it is the net of which it is made. or
perhaps the very bow perched high

IL they should be examined and found

The government, too, as indicated in
word received here, is not unmindful
of the hard work that has already
been done by the local boards. Many
of the members of these boards have
neglected their business for weeks.
and continuation of such force en-
ployment by the government might
work a great hardship.
In the examination, however, beyond
the quota limit as needed now, the
boards will be told to take their time,
either devoting only couple OF hours
a day to the work. or else one or two
days a week. In this way the work
could be expeditiously done and at
the same time neither the boards nor
the registrants subjected to any great
inconvenience.
