SUMMER HATS SEEN ON NEwPoRrs LEAFY AVENUE.

We might Gull examples from the gar

their friends or neighbors. but in ac-
cordance with their own particular cast
of countenance and their individual
fancy. AS result one notices at any
fashionable evening gathering a medley
of graceful and becoming styles Of
coitfure that not infrcquently are quite
an artistic study.
The compact lustrous braided coil
AT the back of the head is popular
with many, especially women who elect
for the trim princesse or the open-back
poke bonnets. There are high-rolle1
coiffures in pompadour, Josephine and
Medici styles, with or without the full
putfs above the roll; bow-knotS on the
sides, or at the top of the head in the
back, with glttering diamond or paste
pins thrust in here and there; low,
broad Russian coiffUres with hair in
deep waves over the brow and sides Of
the head; Greek knots with classic fill
let's of narrow gold or silver set with
tiny gems, to bind down the ripples OF
hair-a very special style seldom to be
ventured upon; braids la chatelaine
caught up with large Alsatian bow
or hair ornament; the Clyde style, with
few short, airy curls bound with II
soft braid of hair in the center of the
head, or in the nape of the neck, MS
proves most becoming. There is, like
wise, the Naomi coiffure, in which a
length of abundant hair is lightly
braided and coiled round and round the
crown of the head like fluffy aureole
and fixed with tiny gem-set pins.
There are other arrangements, COM
bining tresses knotted, braided and
waves, giving the effect of great
wealth Of woman's crowning glory, or
severe coiffures adjusted with plain,
rich tortoise-shell pins, Spanish styles,
also with the inevitable high-back comb
as finishing touch, and coiffures in
unique modes of the ultra English or
der, the hair parted in the center and
minus puff. wave or ornament; and,
lastly, the shortcut style, curling al
over the head, and parted on the left,
with little side-combs TO hold the rings
of hair in place above the temples.--N.

There is wilderness to choose from
Of thin, summery materials. like organ
dies with lace trimmings, mulls, batistes
and linens. The batistes are usually
embroidered. AS for the grass linens,
pride goeth before fall; their univer-
sal use to-day threatens disuse soon.
Still, they cannot help lasting through
the summer, with all their popularity
of to-day.
Somehow, when woman has
swathed herself in thin grass linen
through which CLEANS the silken lin
ing and has mullled her hat in even
more fimsy gauze, she looks like a
statue in deserted house in summer,
wrapped in netting to keep the flies off.
The woman who wears a "dickcy,"
i high starched collar and mans tie,
Is still In evidence, but she is beginning
TO wilt in the summer heat and to Won
der if such ardor is worthy of celestial
minds. This year is very dangerous
for the woman with dickey. The sud-
cen popularity Of extremely thin and
soft materials is bowling her out. And
may she be unregretted!
Yet have seen bicycle costumes made
quite in the starchy way-not many, to
lie sure. In Newport one sees no bloom
ers, except on the feeting forms of
transient visitors. One such swept
through yesterday. She had rather
close-fitting kneebrceches, was tightly
corseted and wore outside The starched
'orments close-fitting coat with long
tails like u mans dress coat. She was
not much admired.
The pretticst cycle gown here yet is
a short skirt in gray with blobs Of red
in the weave, Jacket with full sleeves
and basque skirts faced along the
lapels with dull red. This is worn over
Il pale pink waist, with tam cap above
ALL
Another suit is sage green with very
light yellow facings worn over n, light
green silk waist. Another, leaf green
with white faced lapels edged with en-
broidery. Green shows the dust ter
ribly.
There is much this year of foulard
silks brown with ivory designs and in
other combinations.

Pretty Hats from Foreign Studies

The New Transparent Trimmings-Out-

Grass Linen Craze and the
Bicycle Girl.
[CoPYRIGHT, 1861

The back country Nimrods whom my
childhood knew were wont to say they
never chased squirrel or fox, but sat still
and waited for the poor beasties to
come to them. The art, suppose, con-
sisted in knowing where to sit.
The toilet hunter, though the veriest
tyro, knows that she has but to sit, pen
primed and pencil sharpened, at her win
dow in Newport, when the green is at
its freshest and fullest along the avenue,
and let the mode come to her, from New
York, from Paris, and little later from
London, with the seasons stamp upon
them all She shall await her willing
quarry by the cliff walk on cool fore
moons when the surf dashes dazzlingly
white on the rocks 10 eastward of the
shore or on the tennis grounds at the
Casino, or where the golf ball flies mer-
rily upward when the blow falls with a
thud that is neither dull nor sickening.
And she shall see:
| think there is as much to interest
her in the summer millinery as in any
thing. The substantial tule trimming
OF the spring is giving way to or de-
veloping into the use of the so-called
transparent effects. Where the yelling
had once some substance it has become
the tilmiest gauze, Malines tulle, horse
hair lace or other tilmy stuff instinct
with color yet not concealing what it
covers. The favorite color for morning
walks or lawn use-for general all
round purposes, should SAYS green.
One can do no better than hat in leaf
green braid with beef-eater crown about
two inches high, a fairly wide brim
and bedeckments of lustrous green
gauze with huge plumes.
Yet if one is to have many hats, for
piazza wear or later summer use when
the heat has grown. some of them will
be white, black or straw color, both in
substance and in trimming. AS the lead
ers in fashion strive rather TO have
many hats appropriate to many occa-
sions than to squander much money on
any one, it is made easier for the women
of moderate means to have a general.

is the latest in the shoe line, states n
writer on footwear. The sole Of this
specimen has an upward turn of the toe
which keeps that particular part off
the ground. The arrangement, it is
claimed, is necessity on account of
the extreme length of this new last,
which would probably cause the wearer
of this shoe to stub his toe unless this
provision was made to prevent it.--Chi-

No sensible man can believe that
the policy expressed in Blair's reso-
luton has altered. "The consent of
the people" must be obtained before
the question of annexation can be
seriously entertained. A new field for
ex-bond-commissioner Jones is now
opened. AS city missionary he has
turned out a failure; let him try his
hand at converting-not loaus-but
Hawaiians into the policy of sacri-
fcing their independence. May he
be ably assisted by the new corners
who "holler" for annexation without
knowing the very first thing about
the people and the country where
they find hospitable home equal
to anything in, say, Albany or New
York.

An Incipient Strike.

This morning the first strike
took place in Honolulu. When the
proprietor of one OF the leading
blacksmith shops arrived this morn
ing few minutes past seven o'clock
he found the shop deserted, the fire
out, and his employees sitting quiet
ly and de6antly on "strike" in the
backyard. The "gaffer," who is
used to handle men and leagues
(even the American) addressed the
strikers, who had grievance against
former fellow employee. Every
thing was peaceably settled and the
"strike" only lasted about fifteen
minutes. This is, however, the first
appearance of that kind OF western
Civilization" in Honolulu. The
picture of the boss ought to have
been taken, however, when he arriv-
ed and found the fire out, and the
boys do. do.

Mr.. Blair's resolution reads:

Resolved, That the House of Rep
resentatives approve OF the recogni-
tion OF the existing Provisional Gov
ernment by the last and present
administration of this Government,
and will view with satisfaction the
maintenance Of policy which shall
tend to consumate in the near future
aoih the consent Of their people, the an
nexation OF said islands to this coun-
try, or some other political arrange
ment which will fully preserve and
promote the mutual interests of both
Hawaii and the United States.

The obstacles thrown in the way
OF men, who desire to have voice
in the distribution OF the taxes paid
by them, and in the management Of
public affairs in Hawaii, are evident
ly caused through desire to make
the people SO disgusted with the
present regime that even annexation
and loss Of independence may seem
preferable to continuance OF Dole's
funny little republic. The Hawai-
ians, however, prefer "hell' to the
sacrifice Of the honor Of their nation
and the independence of their land.
The United States have so far failed
to right the wrong done by Stevens.
The dishonor to the United States
OF the Hawaiian episode will not be
obliterated from the escutcheon Of
that republic. The Hawaiians and
their friends, however, prefer to sus-
tain an independent government
even If they are forced to live little
longer under the contumacy OF
Dole's funny little republic.

When Mr. Paul Isenburg tells Mr..

sense OF honor toward native Ha-

posing annexation he is casing
pearls before swine.
Dr. Serene E. Bishop appears in
print, advising the Hawaiians to be
annexed. If the patriotic inhabit-
ants Of these islands have ever hesi-
tated in their course OF upholding
the independence of their country
their doubts have been set at rest
by the letter of the "Reverend"
Serene, d. d. Now they know that
they must stand shoulder to

other movement which counts

ber, the p. G. Government repealed
certain laws and enacted others,
bearing upon licenses, which do an
injustice TO certain men who have
been attracted to this country by |
the specious advertisements OF our
Government and their own especial
friends. Strangers have arrived
here with special classes of new
goods to Introduce. They pay their
customs fees for the Importation of |
such goods, and take out their
wholesale or retail licenses as the
ease may be. They ask for an OPP
OF introducing them by |
the means of travelling through the
Islands as peddlars, or Commercial
Agents, and offer to pay any license
required of them. They are met by
the Government with the statement
that the law forbids such a course.
This is probably the only country
in the world in which such a short
sighted policy is carried out. Per-
haps it suits a few friends of the
government, but il will prove in the
long run disastrous one for the
progressive commerce Of the Islands.
