A BEAUTIFUL S0IREE.

The soiree given at the planta-
ton home of Mr.. and Mrs. Numa
Cormier by their daughter Miss
Corinne last night was grand.
The pretty place and beautiful
home was elegantly decorated.
The evergreens and serging green
moss which adorned the entrance
to the house and grounds presen-
ted a ga udy appearance.
Japanese lanters were scattered
in profusion interspered with no.
neysuckles, the sweet odor of the
acacias premeated the air with its
fragrant and sweet scanted per-
fume. The moon added splandor
to the scene throwing it's brilliant
light among the beautiful China
trees presenting a lovely tableau
ever to be remembered.
The melodious sounds of the
Breaux Bridge string band float
ed through the air while fairy
forms kept time to the music in
perfect accord.
Congratulations and good night
concluded an evening of mirth
and enjoyment. which was huge
ly appreciated by all present. To
Miss Corinne is due the loud
praises which fell from the lips
of the dispensing guests.
Delicious ices, cakes and re.
freshments were served to the
guests throughout the evening.

station needs no room to man auver, except
outside, where it will have the whole Pa
cific ocean, clear of any hidden reefs; that
the entrance will be conspicuously buoyed;
that the passage to be excavated is only
1.5D0 feet long, with smooth and open water
inside the reef; that sand is far less abun-
dant than around the Honolulu bar. which
does not refill since being dredged out, and
that batteries can line miles Of shore, if
needed, four miles to seaward of the ships
in the harbor. The two-mle river channel
first entered is completely raked from the
point of the peninsula at it's head.
Palmer also takes a shy at the specula-
tive owners of Pearl City, laid out to be the
commercial emporium of the harbor. He
spoils the point in trying to tell the old
story about the new town. whose protector
said it only needed water and better So
ciety to make it a desirable place of resi-
dence, to be retorted upon, That is all he'll
needs! AS 1t happens, Pearl City has
most copious supplies of the sweetest spring
water in these islands. What little society
there is consists chiefly of number of our
incest families, who have built summer cot
tagcs on the peninsula, attracted by the de-
licious breezes and the boating on the beau
tiful lochs, as well the easy communica-
ton with Honolulu, in forty minutes by

season, no matter how many frills of its
own it has, they must all be trimmed with
lace on the edges. 1t will take ten yards
of swiss to make the dress, FIVE of which
will go into the waist and sleeves. 1t will
take about thirty-six yards of narrow lace
and some six or seven yards of wider lace
to make that frock presentabe. But when
it is made you will dream of angels and
seraphims and things, for thin white will
make your great-grandmother look angelic,
if it is made right.
This is a favorte style of evening dress
fer the season of hot weather. The long
full skirt is made with three rows of wide
lace insertion, and the baby waist has no
lining, being belted with n ribbon-run lace
belt, and having full ruffle of lace around
the shoulders, and wide puffed sleeves A
SILK slip of some color may be worn under
this, but mary will like plain muslin. The
style will be very fetching for street or
garden party wear if thin puffed guimpe
is worn. One word of warning. Don't let
W ur love of pretty insertions, whether lace
or needle work, lead you to let such pieces
into your muslin petticoats to wear with a
thin dress, unless you wear plain skirt
underneath all. The effect of such a pet
ticoat when the wearer gets between the
sun and the beholder is grotesque.

either, to use many rich trimmings on
child's hat. The lovely Dresden ribbons
and the pompadour effects are particularly
pretty for chldrens hats. and there is TO
lace or chiffon that is too fine for them.
The broad-brimmed hat is the favorite,
some being of very fine straw, and others
made of shrrings of chiffon or silk null.
The flowers selected for a child's hat should
be light in effect, like lilies of the valley or
wild roses, il roses anything heavy
are selected. Buttercups make pretty
childish flower, and white violets, but the
purple ones are SO somber.
There is a fancy to put curtains" on
hats this summer, such were worn forty
years ago. Some women wear them on
garden hats and they certainly do look
pretty and stylish; to make them, very
wide lace is set the brim little back
from the edge and fastened with a narrow
jet cord or bit of galloon and the rest of
the lace left to fall over the brim. 1t
should be put on pretty full and may fall
over to the depth of three inches.
The low neck and short sleeves for chill
dren will be quite the thing this summer.

for covering up a childs neck and arms,

drivers as well as sharing their responsible
tiles as< defined by law. In most places
where bicycle legislation has been attempt
ed the laws are not at all favorable to the
cyclists. 1t was only a few weeks ago that
the authorities Of New York village pass
ed an ordinance prohibiting the use Of the
wheel on Sundays discrimination in IA
Vor of vehicles which the wheelmen think
is an injustice to them.
In stubbornly contested case in Penn
sylvania few weeks ago the courts de-
cided that bicycle is a vehicle, and, con-
sequently, the rider must pay toll on the
turnpikes. A similar case is soon to be
heard in Illinois. This Chicago suit was
brought in a peculiar way. A man who
used the wheel in going to and from his
Office attempted to take it into the office
building, with the result that the landlord
elected both the wheel and its owner. The
action of the landlord came in the nature
of surprise to the wheelman, who had
been in the habit of taking his wheel to his
room.
The question of payment Of toll on the
turnpikeS is one of great importance to
wneelmen for there is not an owner of a
wheel who rides for pleasure and health
who does not sometimes take trips ever
toll roads in some section of the country.
and these trips would be made rather eX-
pensive if toll had to be paid.

wide appliqued bands of insertion on the
