a Question as to Where the Chinese
Steamers VIII Land.
The leases from the HarbOr Commission
to the Pacific Mail and the Occidental and
Oriental steamship companies of the
wharves they occupy expired on the first of
the year 1t is therefore now necessary
that the companies become tenants from
month to month, because the commission
viii not renew the leases. in view of the
fact that the sea-wall is TO be extended past
the mail-d OK and will cut through the
Pacific Mail Company's wharf.
The question as 10 where the companies
will be located when it becomes necessary
for them to yacate their present wharves
will be determined at the meeting OF the
Board Of HarbOr Commissioners to-mor-
row. Tie board is in favor of locating the
companies whaTves at the foot Of Powell
street. Coils 7. Huntington has declared,
however. that he will dock the steamers at
Oakland rather than have the yes sells en-

OF such stuffS are the two dancing
frocks made-one in lemon yellow, with
yellow ribbons; the other in pale pink,
with double thickness of wide black vel
vet ribbon caught together with jet orna-

shoulder blades.
Not a few gowns have paniers-the
painters panier-though not that which
dressmakers not so long ago evolved from
their outer consciousness. One of the few
women who have sea-green eyes and dull
yellow tlaXen hair appeared the other night
al an AstOr dinner in sea-greeu satin, just
matching her eyes, with folded paniers
lined throughout with shell-fr!lls crepe de

embroidered liSSe, caught up with chrys-
