NoMEBoDY asked man not long N ago after little group of people EO had been listening for an hour or more to the prettiest of wicky-wacky- wail-y Hawaiian music on the Victroia what he thought of it; being practlcai business men, also highly endowed with a sense of humor. he replied:
 Sounds to me like the pineapple crop has been failure"
 No matter Hawaiian music and uKu- leles are here to stay; they have got hold on the musical public that seems permanent; at least their popularity at the present time is almost unprecedenteo'

 "Its a guitar that has never grown up," said the pretty girl when asked to define 1t.
 Our easy adoption of the ukulele as well as the facility with which we nave taken up Hawaiian music or what we suppose to be the native music of the Sandwicn Islands shows how the distance between these remote islands of the Pacific and the United States has been reduced m our minds since the islands became Amer ican territory; there was a time when we spoke of them as If they were only on par with that myriad of small South sea ls- lands whose acquaintance some of us De- gan to make in Stevensons writings

More fortunate than the Parisienne,
who is not allowed to wear evening
gowns since the French government
has put ban on them, the women of
New York have had countless occas-
ions to revel in evening gowns this
season. Aside from the opera and
theaters, there have been balls and
dances without number, many Of them
given in the name of charity.
The glitter Of gold and the bright
ness Of silver in the rich tissue cloths
and metallic laces have been very con-
spicuous at evening gatherings. Spark
ling sequins and gorgeous brocaded
silks have also added to the general
effect of splendor which the ballroom
OF to-day presents.
| It istinteresting to note the diversity
of styles, color and materials seen.
Diaphanous tulles, nets and chiffons,
lustrous chiffon velvets and supple sa-
tin and silks are accorded equal IA
vor. Bright colors have been brought
more into prominence this season than
ever before, though white and the
pastel shades are much in use, offering
decided contrast to the bright gold,
deep rose, ruby red, bright green and
Chinese blue in favor.
Evening Dress in Harem Style
Of the many and diverse styles in
evening gowns one of the most pOpu-
lar savors strongly Of the Turkish

veloped in plain silk or satin, entirely
free of trimming, the richness of the
material making decorations unneces-
sary. The harem tunic heightened by
deep frill of lace is another form in
which the Turkish influence is appar-
ent. In this style the puff generally
comes below the knees.
The evening dresses of young girls
are very frequently in the popular one
piece chemise style, as are those of the
really grown-ups. 1t is, only in the
length Of the dress that there is any
difference at all, and that, only this
season, when women's dresses are
worn a little longer. Last winter,
when women wore their dresses as
short as the sixteen-year-old, one could
hardly tell the difference.
A dress of extreme simplicity and
excellent style is made of crepe de
Chine heightened by deep fiounce of
lace. The loose sleeves of lace have
tassels of silk hanging at the ends.
This model is illustrated here on a
young girl, but the same design has
been seen in ladies' gowns.
4 At the thes dansants, which have
been strongly patronized in fashion
able circles, smart suits of silk, satin
or velvet, with dainty blouses of net
or Georgette to match, have been much
in evidence. The blouses are mostly
in Russian effect, with long peplums
falling over the skirt. One-piece
dresses of velvet or Georgette, worn
with fur coats or capes, are also worn
at these afternoon dances. And
speaking of furs, such are the incon-
sistencies of Fashion, that furs and
, straw hats are often seen together!
Lingerie BlOuses
The lingerie blouse of fine white
voile and handkerchief linen begins to
! make it's appearance. This is one OF

The blouses this season are trimmed
with deep filet lace or fine Irish GRO
, chet. Others have very fine tucks OF
drawn work. The drawn work edge:
collars and cuffs, or else outlines mo
) tifs in the front of the waste, anC
hand embroidery is often introduced
along with it. The filct lace il
