plain underskirt of gray blue faille,
with draped apron overskirt of striped
taffeta in two shades of blue There
was corselet of taffeta over guimpe
of white lace and a short Elton jacket
with a wide faille bertha. Large gilt
buttons gave brightness TO the dress.
The other one was a "peachblow"
pink crepon, the overskirt cut in circu-
lar form and drawn together over a
cream white Spanish lace skirt There
were wide bertha of lace and lace falls
at the elbows and lace outlining basque
point and extending down to the fasten-
ing of the overskirt. The speck Of bon
net was of crepon, pulled up and having
two hat ears of crepon and three pink
roses. The parasol matched the rest OF
the costume and made it complete-a
poem in pink. This dress cost less than
$15, bonnet and all, as the wearer made
it herself.
1t seems almost wrong for woman
TO pay $40 to SIS for the making of a
gown, but no dressmaker in this city
will make one for less, and many charge
up to $50 without findings. - So it is
no wonder that so many ladies are study
ing Systems" and learning to make at
least such gowns as this, which depend
more on the addition of lace for effect
than great skill in dressmaking.

A Novel Photograph Frame.

Circular frames are the latest that
have been seen for the photographs
which multiply almost faster than one
can count The model shown in the
drawing is the latest among the circular
ones, and it is charming when seen in
conjunction with dear familiar face.
To make it purchase cardboards of the
required shape. Don't try to economize
by cutting them yourself. A special in
strument, and a sharp one, is essential.
Ordinary amateur rulers will never do
the work well, and the result of such
economy is failure as surely as the work
is so begun.

Electric Lights for q Cts a Month";

Honolulu uses the electric current for
lighting purposes more generally than do
most American cities of its population.
The reasons are found partially in the cli-
mate conditions which urge the
adoption of light unaccompanied by
heat or an offensive odor. Furthermore,
no gas company has found our city an
inviting field for investment chiefly be-
cause of its scattered condition and the
consequent large cost of reaching
consumers; and electricity has thus met
no competitor except the original oil
lamp and the tallow candle. A third
cause We believe to be largely the fact
that when electric lighting was first in
troduced by the Government, it was
offered to consumers on a basis of rates,
which in many cases of commercial
lighting and especially for night light
ing, considerably discounted the cost of
oil for the same amount of illumination.
The demand thus created soon reached
the limit of that Government supply.
Today the Hawaiian Electric Company
possesses working capacity equal to
more than three times the present COM
bined incandescent output OF the Gov
eminent service together with our own.
We offer lighting at the Government
fiat rates as follows:
Stores and Offices per Is C. D. light per
month ST 90
Residences per Is C. p. light per
month-to lights 90cts.
Residences per Is C. D. light per
mOnth-excess of lights 6Octs

consumers. We place lights in every
nook and corner of your premises if you
wish, measure the light you use, and
charge for actual consumption only.
need it and you don't forget to shut it off

feel bound to keep the lights going from
dusk till dawn in order to secure the
value OF a stipulated bill. We in turn
know exactly what we have delivered to
you and can figure with certainty upon a
definite and rock bottom basis.
The cost OF Is C. p. light per hour is

efficiency of the lamp.

NOT THE CITY'S.
City Attorney CresweIl Hands Over
the HOIIY.Street Lot.


The Judiciary Committee of the Super
visors yesterday received the written Opn-
ion of City and County Attorney Cres-
well in regard to the strip of land on Holly
street in dispute between the city and the
executors of the WilmerdinR estate. The
decision of the court had gone against the
city and the executors had asked that no
appeal be taken, and the advice OF the at
torney was required in the premises. He
advises against the appeal, stating rather
peculiar circumstance:
Upon the map on file in the Recorders
office, whereby said Holly street was dedi-
cateQ to public use as street." he say s.
mo width is given, but from the maps on
lie, taking the measurements from known
points ON both. sides of Holly street and
the distances as they appear from such
known points to the lines of said street, it
appears that Holly street is not 60 feet
wide. but in the neighb0rhoOd of As feet
only. and that the disputed street does not
lie within the lines of said street.
This being true, there was no evidence
of title to the strip in the city, and Judge
Seawell gave judgment accordingly. The
title to the same STRIP was called in ques-
ton in the suit of Wilmerding ct al. VS..
Wells, the Superior Court holding that
said strip was not a part of Holly street.
SIN my Judgment an appeal 10 the Su-
preme Court in the case of MOgan ct al.
VS.. The City and County OF San Francisco
would be of no avail and only involve
useless expense to the CITY,"
This will probably end the matter in
favor Of the estate.

SLOW MOVEMENT.
Real Estate Is Affected
by Politics.
BUT ONLY TEMPORARILY.
A Radical Improvement May
Come Later On.
BUYING LOTS FOR SPECULATION.
Richmond Property-Owners Show a
Progressive Spirit-Record of
a Months Sales.

Since politics began to absorb attention
IN every direction throughout the city real
estate business has shown an inclination
toward dullness. For some weeks pre-
Viously the local market had been gradu-
ally gaining strength and renewed activ-
ity. Wbereat the agents assumed that more
prosperous times were at hand. At pres
emf. however, the movement is COMPARE
lively light, although enough is doing to
keep up very fair trade. Still little i'm
provement is expected until after the cleo
tions, when the fall business may develop
satisfactorily to all concerned.
Some of the leading dealers in real estate
look forward to a good season when the
political situation is definitely settled.
They have noticed sllghttendency to buy
property with speculative values, from
which new feature there is an inference that
outside lands may come into the market
during the tall and winter months. Ever
since the abnormal activity of the market
two or three years ago the bulk of trans
actions was confined TO lands IN improved
districts, and speculation disappeared.
Buying and selling stopped lots for
home sites or with properties in business
or downtown districts, that assured an
immediate income. The change. there
fore. in favor of outside lands is taken as
a sgnifcant sign of the times, of renewed
confidence and a revival OF the old spirit of
speculation.
And yet the owners of city real estate
desiring TO sell should not be carried away
with the idea that values are holding
lfirmer than before. Even now they are
only too prone TO be stubborn on prices
without making concessions of reasonable
amounts to meet the agents or purchasers
estimates of values.

sales recorded from Augusta to August 81,

A staff of engineers has teen engaged in
Richmond making preliminary survey
for the Sutro electric line to the Cliff
House. Property-0Wners are making ar
arrangements TO grade Clement street, be-
tween Sixteenth and Thirty-third avenues.
SO that clear way may be given for the
proposed line from Central avenue to the
ocean. The Importance of this improve
ment is not overestimated by the people OF
Richmond, because it will bring large
territory into direct communication with
the city.
Another novel and highly commendable
effort is to be made shortly by the Rich

ton to have grass planting day." when

erty can be improved by this method, and

time comes for grading and retaining.
