Nothing, one would have thought, could have suited those blonde braids better than the clear tint of the golden brown velvet. It fell in full folds, right to her feet. Vines, delicate gold embroidery and spangle trimming, grew up the back, at respectful dis tance from each other. Huge velvet sleeves were lined with water green satin, hecked with a satiny spot, here and there. Over the full opera sleeves lay other full pieces, round and short, which grew into a cape when they reached the front.
 Of the cloaks that lay about, could see one of bluet cloth, full and long also, with the same great sleeves, hav- ing plain cuffs of Persian lamb. This was belted with cloth band that was closely embroidered, and that was edged with narrower Persian lamb. A collet, also edged with the lamb, was cut in points, while above it rose an imposing and faring collar of fur.
 The loose empire coats, of black moire, or brocades, or bengaline, hang in loose, full plaits from bust to knee. The yoke from which they fall, the graceful collet and the full sleeves are generally of velvet, edged with fur and banded or embroidered with jet.
 My country friend had disapproved of capes; she did not notice the bon nets, am happy to say; for had she observed the reckless fashion with which we change them, fear her dis pleasure would have vented itself in far stronger language. Worse still, we should have been obliged to acknowl- edge her right. In the morning, it may be we don our big felt hat, laden with plumes, birds of plumage, velvet choux, jet buckles and the like.

..Seems like they'll keep right on wearin' them loose, hangin' capes, even tho the doctors hev said they were hurtful," remarked my country friend, as she glanced coldly and disapprov- ingly at the throng of gay women that delight the eye of ''city folk"
 I suppose, however, that she is right. We will stick to capes, in spite of the admonitions with which physicians and reformers are constantly favoring us. Those dress reformers never offer us a substitute, and until they do we

Be- sides, the aesthetic young lady has an eye to the soft droop of the little cape, and she knows that the severer lines of a coat can never produce the graceful effect which she yearns for.
 So the cape hangs from the shoulders of old and young alike, Is blown about by the autumn breezes and will not re- tire until the winter blasts grow so fierce that it shrinks into nothingness before their assaults. Even then, the larger and heavier ones will defy the cold and stay out all winter.

A POOR SHOW.
Soldiers o. In The Mud.

The COMMANDMENTS chief with
rank as president had ordered
his army (sicD out yesterday for
inspection and few hundred
people trotted up through the
mud to Palace Square for the
purpose of witnessing the per-
formances of the always-ready-
to-lay-down and die-and-repeat-
it heroes for the support of,whom
the Hawaiian treasury is being
constantly bled.
The weather was certainly not
encouraging and the lS5 men who
turned out to show their uniforms
and to get them shrunk may have
worked under disadvantages.
Sure is it that the drill was the
poorest yet witnessed in Honofu-
In.
The Advertiser SAYS that Mr..
Crowley of San Francisco stated
to Colonel Fisher that the Fl. n.
G. surpassed any military COM
pany that he has ever seen. If
that is the case we regret to state
that either Mr.. Crowley has
never seen anything in military
line or the San Francisco volun-
teers must be a very poor body
of men. We are willing to be-
lieye though that the distinguish
ed police man simply desired to
rub the back of Colonel Fisher
and give him what is known in
vulgar parlance as tafiy.
The army has not improved.
Messrs Zeigler and King are the
only two officers who know a lit
tie of the business but it was duff
fcult to believe that the exhibit
ton yesterday was the result Of
two years drill.
The men do not march. They

every interest in these islands,
and we repeat the statement. be-
cause We wish to keep the sche-
mers which we have named be-
fore the public.
The longer we consider the
scheme, the deeper and more
damnable it appears. One of the
many purposes for which its in
fuence could be used would be
the weakening of the political, as
we'll as the commercial influence

not desirable that the In fuence
Of representative British and Eu-

tions which have taken a foothold

tirely overcome. as they must be,
IL the scheme of Colonel Spad-
ing and his colleagues is allowed
to take root here. The communi-
ties of the earth that have survi-
we'd the longest have been the
most tolerant towards religious

we are not in position to an

Will you please allow space for
this correction of statement
that appeared in the HoLoMUA OF

retainers of the late King Kalaka-
