at the old figure, but once sold,
they cannot be replaced at the

connoisseurs. who are daily taking
advantage of it.

DAINTY LINGERIE

When We have completed our Christ
mas gifts, and finished the last ball
Of sweater yarn in the house, rather
than let the long evening pass with.
out accomplishing something, we might
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
can do with small pieces Of material
The outline Of the lace makes this
garment very attractive, and the in.
sets Of coarse net. finished at the cor
ner with a wee bit of handwork, com
pletes its simple beauty.
The robe de mutt is made in the
same pattern. and the set-in kimono
sleeves insure longer wear as we'll as
being beautiful. The pieces on the
shoulder are made Of tucked net, A
few tucks in front and back give need
ed fullness, and when finished this
garment slips on over the head.
The charming little figure on the
left is sTeetly feminine in every way,
from the topmost bow on her pretty
head to the newest Of new footwear.
Something about the boudoir cap
gives 1t a fresh girlish outline, perhaps
1t is the net Of which 1t is made, or
perhaps the very bow. perched high
upon the head, anyway it should be
becoming to every woman The
"knickers" and bodice petticoat are
made of crepe de- chine, the ruffles
are of plain pleated net; ribbon bows
to match the cap tie in cupid bows on
the shoulder The net motif is the
same that is used on the gown and
corset cover.

our own underwear, and yet we do ap.

make these garments so appealing.
Many women buy palmer garments

and then trim them In individual
ways by adding touches of lace or
handwork. One nearly always changes

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
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
passes 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 it's 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.

in replacing them a new suggestion

of the pastel shades in very narrow

We who have so many times re-
placed the rubber banding in the
waists Of our covers and Knockers, will
rejoice over the suggestion of making

easily to replace the webbing, using
only a strip of rubber four inches

back then vice versa. This small strip
can be easily replaced, and renders
unnecessary the taking off of snaps
and fastenings.
While we are di- cussing delightful
airy nothings, we might stretch a
point and tell something about dainty
little bib and bibless aprons for the
home. AS domestic virtues are being
so much talked about, and Mr.. Hoover
is continually urging the American
housewife to watch the larder, the
economists urging her to make her
own bib and tucker, and with the knit

ting trust still in full swing, it seems
that every feminine cOmpatriot would
welcome an apron to save her frOCks,
! There are aprons for sewing. for
brewing, for busting; aprons for use
and aprons for beauty Who knows
but what they may become as much
a style feature as peplums or tunicS
or hustles?
Without a doubt the knitting apron
will prove the most popular of all,
for by this time most Of us have DIS
| covered that yarns do leave more than
a trace of lint on our dark gowns.
Some Of us have found comfort in
these knitting bags of fancy fabrics
, that unite into aprons, and then tie
up again into bags when the days
knitting is done, but they are by no
means common and a separate apron
would prove joy to many a faithful
knitter
And there was found another fig
ured apron which looked as if 1t had
been a piece OF grandmother's foulard
dinner gown, that had been retrieved
from the ignominy Of the scrap bag
The white satin background with its
dainty tracings of cobwebby< black
lines, was finished with apple green
ribbon. and all around the edge was
a ruffle of finely plated net Tiny
black velvet bows held the bib in
place, and finished the corners of
the apron. Any one wearing an apron
of this sort over a china blue frock
would present a charming picture,
and look much like a choice bit Of
colonial interior decoration.

not known. All the work was done
By hand at an average rate of nine
