DRESS AND MANNERS
Some Incongruities and HOW 10
Avoid Them.

Tn the course Of a lecture on Tine CO.
ordination of Dress and fame Mrs.
Mercedes Leigh says
.aThere is a correlation TIVE dress
and manners which violated jars upon
all sensitive people.
.aThere is a correlation between dress
pattern or line, are to be carefully avoid
ed. Thus, for example, in the various
STYLES of footwear, ranging from the
sarare-toed boot to the curving point
and elevated end of the French shoe,
there are at least eight distinguishable
stages. Where the dress and coat above
are more or less square cut or marked
by rectangular decoration, or where the
mmin is applied in straight lines or
in lines crossing at right angles, the
boot should belong to the first extreme
rather than the last. Similarly where
the cape and robe are marked by points,
curves and approaching each other at
sharp angles, or where the embroidery
is made up of straight or curved lines
coming to fine points, the second class
Of hoe is the one to be worn.
In the use of colors There must be al.
Compliments and supplements. Higher

"one Of the greatest charms in a hu-
man being, man or woman, is health,
strength and physical grace. These can
be expressed in costume, even where
they are not as well developed as they
should be. A person Of taste can
make the costume suggest and hint of
their existence. To express these facts

pecially those of the feet, must be

wR. WILLIS AND THE CELEBRATION.

Minister Willis remarks at the
gathering Of citizens on Saturday
evening were sensible and to the
point. The only matter Of regret
is that any imputations should
have been made that should neces-
state the American Minister max
ing a statement of his position.
There is only one course for him
20 pursue. He has TO keep strictly
within his instructions as the di-
plomatic agent Of the United States
and questions as to what he might
or might not do are not pertinent.
There ia but one thing for him to
do-follow Instructions nd be

July, the fret anniversary of the
Hawaiian Republic and the one
hundred and nineteenth anniver-
sary Of the American Republic will
be celebrated. The speaker of the
day in Honolulu will have an
opportunity to expand upon the
blessings of a free and stable
government which the day comem-
crates in one or both countries, but
as for the general celebration the
man who burns red fire and sets off
sky rockets can unreservedly say,
"Hurrah for all of u.s." AS for the
official functions, President Dole,
Minister Willis, Commissioner
Halves and all the diplomatic and |
consular corps will undoubtedly be
only too willing to add to and par
ticipate in the festivities of the day
so far as the prescribed customs of
heir positions will allow. With

IN A MAUI FOREST.

WRITTEN FOR THE P. ADvERTIsER.)
Here, where the woodlands with music are
ringing;
Here let US rest from the dust and the
heat
Lie in the shadows and list to the singing
Listen to bird voices tender and sweet
Pipe of their loving; how sweet their attun-
ing
In time with the song of the wind in the
treesl
Here we are safe from the sun in his noon
ing;
Low in the valley the waters are grooming;
Lying at rest, we are lulled by the tuning
OF bubbling of waters and signing of
breeze.
Winds kiss the leaves with the kiss of
lover;
Waters lie still meath the green-spreading
cover,
In glamor of shade, where kukuis hang
over,
And butterflies over the lush blossoms
hover,
Drinking the nectar Of blooms to the lees
is coming, long shadows are lying
On the slopes of the hills, the daylight is
dying;
And songs of the birds give place to the
signing
And low, muffled music of indolent seas.

JAPAN NEEDS PEACE AT HOME.

Advices from the East brought
yesterday by the Coptic give any
thing but reinsurance of peace
in the political life of Japan. The
sharp censorship of the press pre-
vents a clear statement of the op-
position which the Government is
meeting in its policy of submission
to the mandates of European ma
tions, yet there is an undertone
which proves the truth of discon-
tent reported by American CORE
spondents. The Japan Gazette per-
tinently remarks that "The present
peace is illusory, it is not a peace,
but truce" The prediction that
Japan had quite as hard a
task in handling its own
victorious armies as it did in over
coming the Chinese hordes, is
being demonstrated in q manner
that portends serious conditions
that will demand all the diplo-
macy and firm assertion of power
that the Emperor can summons.
The Government is dealing with
thousands of ignorant soldiers
who know nothing of reverses and
from that fact have not learned
one half the lesson of warfare.
They have not become imbued
with the wholesome fear that
teaches the driver of a truck horse
to keep his money and his horse
off the race course. They have
never had the experience of being
moved down by solid phalanx of
trained soldiers, as sturdy fighters
and rs loyal TO the national flag rs
they themselves are, and they can
see no reason why Japan
should be afraid to fight Rus
STA or any other nation. From
the point of internal quiet, one of
the best things that could happen
to Japan would be a six months
campaign with either Russia, Ger
many or France.
For the future welfare of the
nation, the heads of the japanese
Government are fighting a battle of
far more moment than the Corean
campaign. By shrewd business
policy they are holding what little
they have gained, and what would
most certainly be lost if the war
continued. The common peo-

SINCE the Observation-Disclosures
archy yarn has not borne the fruit
of a semblance OF truth, the Wash
ington gossips have started a story
concerning Mr.. Thurston's CONVEX
sations with members of the Adj
ministration on the subject of an
nexation. Possibly, Mr.. Thurston
told President Cleveland that the
United States cannot have Hawaii
unless it submits TO the conditions
imposed by this country, but we
don't believe it. There is another
phase Of the story which may be a
feasible explanation. President
Cleveland has never expressed an
opinion on annexation so far as the
general public knows, and just at
the present time Republican politi-
clans would be very willing for him
to make declaration against such
a policy. If, by means of news
paper correspondents, they could
get the President to put himself on
record as firmly opposed to the an
of this country, it would
make more material for the cam
paign workers to dish up for polit-
ical purposes.
