nearly forget this one good declara-

forget that they, the one per cent il

for the periodical outbursts of feeling,
when the islander uances his wild and

Sw< HERE are many delightful new
things being done in 'the mil

materials are being used in abund-

Batavia, the nearest thing toNwhich IT
can be likened being the old-fashioned
pineapple cloth. 1t is wiry and open
of weave, but can be fashioned into
very becoming draped turbans and

haircloths. One Of the smartest uses
for this Is in sash effect around

haircloth shows tied loops of wool in
