NEGLIGEES

Fashions and conventions have mu-
tally agreed to give their sanction and
approval to the negligee, that most
intimate and dainty of truly feminine
garments. They clothe pretty
woman and often make her appear
more charming when she is cos
tuned for the opera or the dance.
Too few of us realize just how pretty
we could be in the morning, at the
breakfast table or in the afternoons
while serving tea informally to some
of our intimate friends. We should
exploit to the uttermost these robes,
soft-clinging, alluring.
For the breakfast wear there are
wonderful garments shown: some sug.
costing even protraying the Far
East, in the form of trouserettes of
Harem mould, a sort of glorified
robe de mutt. OF course for the little
homely duties, the tiny chores of
morning, a more substantial house
gown is needed: and for this it is
whispered that the Sassy Jane frock
is going to displace the more truly
feminine 1egilee. Those frocks surely
have the advantage of looking fresh
and neat, and very youthful; and one
can wander from the house out OF
doors with out stopping to change.
A few of use could be forced to
admit that we do not dress until after
lunch, although this should not right
fully cause comment. Many women
need little rest in the early after
noon, and they find it unnecessary to
dress twice. For MONDAY negligee
there are many "recipes"-some of
net are lovely, and are made over
china silk Innings in soft pastel
shades. Swiss polka dot lawn is COM
ing back most surely, but not with
the old pink or blue Innings. Net lin
ings are used, rows OF tiny ruffTes
serving to make the dotted Swiss
stand out in crisp lines. A
particular gown is opened down the
front, with the net underslip showing
as petticoat, A wide sash Of plaid
ribbon in very light pastel shades Is
tied partly over the bnst line, the
ends falling nearly to the hem of the
garment. Another pretty idea for a
house gown is white organdie and
pink wolfe creation. The skirt is hung
from net lining that just comes be.

BEGIN WORK OF TEARING
DOWN OLD HONOLULU HALE

Fate and Frank Godfrey today de-
creed that the life of the famous
Honolulu Hale should be cut short,
and workmen were put to work on the
old building to tear it down. Mr.
Godfrey expects that the last trace
of the building will be gone by the
middle of October. For a week or so
the alley leading from the postoffice
to King street will be closed as a
matter Of safety. Several souvenir
hunters came yesterday to the old
building and took away pieces of it.

low the bust line. The background of
the skirt is a crisp white organdie,
with rows upon rows OF pink wolfe
bands. Beginning at the bottom with
four inch double hem, these bands
are spaced three inches apart, the
wolfe lessening in width at every strip.
At the top the band is only half an
inch wide The bodice of pink voile
fitted closely, while the big quaker
collar crossing in surplice over the
front, is finished in looped sash at
the back. This little garment was de-
signed for a bride.
For lounging and afternoon more
elaborate robes are needed and typical
among these is a wonderful creation
by Erie. This exquisite tea gown is
of Papillion Bleu chiffon cloth, with
splendid motifs that suggest fairyland
and things unreal. They are carried
out in several shades of lavender, u.s.
ing blue violet, red violet, and purple
chiffon. The motifs are appliqued on
the chiffon with tiny silver threads
that adorn while they serve, in join
ing the pattern to the filmy robe.
Silver cords weighted with steel beacs
define the bodice.
The house gown on the right is very
charming. The deep ecru flounces or
soft lace are effectively combined
with brocaded crepe de chine in a
deep rose shade, and cunningly de-
signed to>Iuggest an under petticoat.
The loose fitting kimono effect is
very useful in this coat-like blouse,
as it is hung straight from the should
ers and does not bind the arms when
they are. raised. Small weights are
sewn in underneath the cording to
keep the blouse hanging straight
when the arms are lowered. The
corded ruffle around the neck is
becoming, and gives an adj
ded character to the garment.
Since so many of us are retrench-
ing now, we might find some passe
evening frock that might serve as
for pretty negligee. Some
frocks have boosted yards OF shadow
lace; while this lace is not just the
thing for frocks, now, it is very good
for negligees and we would do very
we'll to look over some Of our past
finery.

DR.. J. S. B. Pratt, president Of the

Doctor Pratt should confer with Doc

fit by reporting cases of disease and
that the health board could under

unfit because of minor defects.
