Honolulu Femininity Interested

Annette Rittenhouse, . writing from
Parit, under date of October 2, gos
sip of many things, especially the
pannier, find much marine nas 10 say
is of interest to Honolulu's smartly
gowned women.
The pannier, sometimes modified.
and partly disguised but often pro
claiming itself the real thing made
its appeiranca here about the same
time that the gay Parisians adopted
it, a fact not at all surprising when
one considers how many Honolulans
travel Abroad each year and bring
homo with them, the real Worth and
Paquln jpreaUons; and not a few ideas
to be developed here by some of the
City's Clever designer ad gown
builders. . ;

Marie Tempest, who' Is one of the
best dressed actresses on the stage,
came out In a new play in fondon the
t other night in which she wore, two
admirable pannier gowns. There was
' no hiding the fact under the name of
' skirt drapery; there was no swathing
i or swirling of the fabric In Oriental
folds 'around the body; the silk waj
' gathered or plaited to the waist and
1 tied In at the knees. About this band

Paquin'a Pannier Gewn. -
Vlien a' mannequin came in ' weah
. ing a pink pannier gown a ? man of
fashion who waa looking at the gowns
with his wife groke into enthusiasm
about It , that the mannequin was
swirling and : swaying before him as
. though she were posing for living pic
tures, lie said emphatically it was the
f best looking gown he had seen in
' Paris, and I have learned to listen
with respect to a man'a opinion about
a costume. He may not know the ways
and wherefores.', the cost or the ' name
on the label, but he has an amaiing
way of knowing what Is becoming to
a woman, what gown has good lines
and not false-ones.
This frock was; a rose pink taffeta.
The lower skirt was narrow and plain,
and the panniers jwere. formed by side
plaits arranged Into the belt, facing
each other In two groups, and then
norrowed into a curved hem well be
low the knees. You can easily see how
this, manipulation gave the width
between the knee and hip, and the fa
bric had body enough to keep the
plaits' from 'falling in.
The bodice' was a-casual affair of
Dink tulle aifl pink, taffeta, with float
ing sleeves that were caught about
tbe arm in much the same careless
graceful way. that Downey draped the
arms of Lady Hamilton. ine gown,
even .thought It represented a modern
fashion, had a charming Old World
air, and distinctly suited the demure--r
ness of the girl who wore it-
It would be an enchanting frock for
a debutante. The spread of the pan-
' nier is far enough down on the figure
to give grace, and It allows a long line
from shoulder to knee to be preserved
It could be repeated! in white, and
some one has imitated it after a meas
ure in plnli and blue" taffeta, but I
think it is at-its best in this rather
delicate shade of rose pink
Paquin shows other skirts, some for
walking, others for afternoon wear,
that have a drajery which has been
Instigated by the fashion for the pan-
nier. It is made up of folds of cloth

passed around the figure in straight
lines or on the bias, and then looped
up into a drapery at the back that is
strongly reminiscent of the days of
the Grecian bend.
Bunched-up Effect
Many of the gowns have this dra
pery 'of the back, which in soft ma
terials is just a series of bunched-up
effects, and In the harsher materials
is effected by flat folds caught up one
under the other. At the opening al
Paquln's, Claire, the chief designer,
wore a gown of dark blue charmeuse
satin, 'with blue chiffon cloth over it.
Which was draped up across the fi
gure in these flat folds in front above
the knee. It shortened the skirt in the
exact center, and was not altogether
pretty.
This manipulation of drapery was
tried on many gowns this autumn,
and .there will be a strong effort to
bring it into popular fashion, but any
attempt to gather or plait the front
of the skirt across the figure, instead
of up and down,, has never met with
any; genuine success,' , because It, is
thoroughly ugly and meets the fate it
deserves. .
as nfnnvirv. vprv weir ana e-rwi nut:
it would not be advocated as a fash
Ion for the many. The trouble is that
many gowns which : are copied by the
hundred are intended for the one, and
in that' single condition lies much of
the iugliness of .clothes, not only in
this epoch, but in all those that have
gone before.-

A germ one can't evade
An epidemic, I am sure.

But strange to say. his friends are

To see him come around.
His germ is not the rarest known.
Yet some folks never seem
To have Just one. while others may
With germs ail over teem.
Perhaps you find it difficult
These facts to reconcile?

Make a center of plain linen. This
must be regulated by the size of the
filet squares and the size the cover is
to be finished. Outside each corner
put a filet square and put two other
squares on the length of the cover
(eight in all will be needed), spaced so
the two outer strips are slightly lon
ger than the middle one.
These connecting strips, three to
each side, and one at each end, are of
linen worked in a conventional de
sign in eyelet embroidery. They
should be as much narrower than the
squares as two widths of Cluny in
sertion, sewed to each side of the
strip. Thus if the filet squares are
fiyg inches, and the insertion an inch
wide, the strips of linen should be
three inches wide.
Around the even border thus form
ed is sewed a Cluny lace edging, put
on without fulness and mitred at the
corners. A monogram or three ini
tials in the middle of this scarf will
be handsome if embroidered in ladder
stitch or in satin stitch and seeding.

that It can be arranged with only a

Instructive as welt
On old-fashioned spelling book
must be procured, with all the hard,
long words at the back, so that when
the evening is well advanced, the one
who gives out the words can quickly
decimate the ranks. Two persons are
selected as captains, who proceed to
"choose up." Of course each captain
wants tbe best spellers on his side,
but he is in the dark unless many sim
ilar entertainments have been held.
There should be a reward for the
winner, a reward for the one who goes
down first, and a reward for the cap
tain who picks the winner. The re
ward should be simple, and of small
intrinsic value. The captain who has
the first choice begins, the spelling.
When any one on his side misses a
word, the "tapper," a person designa
ted by the captain, spells It on the
other side. If he should miss it, it goes
back to the speller next to the per
son who had to sit down, and so on.
At first only easy words should be
given, so that no one will have the
humiliation of dropping out the first
round ; but as progress is made
through the book, the ranks will grow
shorter, until the "words of six sylla
bles" are reached, and the catch word
in the last pages of the little old green
book. By that time ail but a few of
the spellers will be seated. They con
tinue the battle until but one remains.
