BODlCES AND BASQUES.
Vests of Various Materials Much Worn.
Ripples Appear Again.

The basque bodices of the season are va
riously designed. Some of them are closed,
some are open over vest or plastron and
others more OF less full. All the basques are
very Short falling not below the hips. The
bodice may be made of wool goods like the
skirt, Of ottoman or broche silk, of plain
or mixed cloth or of velvet.
Almost all corsages are very much trim
med in front. The adornment may consist
of large, fiat revers or of revers rippled,
plated or slashed in odd fashions. The
vests are plain when the material of which
they are made Is broohe or embroidered,
or gathered and held at the waist by belt
when it is light and thin like surah, taffe-
ia or mousseline de sole.
In bodices which are entirely tight fit
ting the vest stops at the first or seco nd
dart. In those having loose jacket fronts
the vest is continued to the under arm
seam, thus holding the bodice in shape.
Basques are all more or less rippled, ac-
cording to the form of the wearer For
persons with wide hips it is necessary to
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1896-07-08

decrease the godets, while women who are
too narrow and slender look better with
great deal Of fullness at the sides and back
of the corsage.
In order for ripple or godet basques to
keep their form they must be lined with
fine, flexible canvas. This must be fastened
against each seam and also to the lining of
the bodice at the waist or just below it.
The canvas ought to be fitted carefully to
the outside and sewed firmly in place, al
lowance being made for narrow hem or
fold at the lower edge which will give the
basque solidity. A lining of thin silk must
be placed outside the canvas.
The costume shown in the illustration
is of latania green liberty silk. The skirt
is trimmed around the foot with band of
guipure embroidered with gold and steel.
The bodice has short basques bretelles and
a collar of the same sort Of guipure, and
guipure edges the large epaulets Of russian
green velvet. The sleeves OF silk have cuffs
of guipure at the wrists. The ohemisette
and high collar are of white gauze.

KANSAS KAHCNAISM.

\ most extraordinary murder trial
has just been concluded at Topeka,
Kansas. \ year ago man named
Thomas Mcdonald shot and killed
Thomas Patton. and was arrested and
tried for murder. He then pleaded
that he was under the hypnotic intlu-
ence of Anderson Gray. who directed
him to shoot Patton. and that he was
unable to resist the impulse. The jury
thereupon returned a verdict acquitt-
ing Mcdonald. Gray was subsequently
arrested and his trial ended in ver-
dict of guilty being given against him,
and he was accordingly sentenced to
be hanged. Notwithstanding that it
was proved that he was ten miles away
from the scene of the murder at the
time the crime was committed. The
decision was appealed against, and the
appeal was confirmed in the Supreme
Court. The latter confirmed the SEN
tence and Gray was executed.

TRIBUNE BICYCLES.
What Has Been Done on a Tri-

The last three weeks have
brought more glory and honor
0 the Tribune" than to an,
wheel in Hawaii. Both races

rribunes. On the 27th the
we mile championship of Ha-
vail was won on a Tribune and

made TO stand and it will b.
many a day before they can be
bettered ard then it will have
to be on a Tribune. These
wheels are built to stand hard
knocks, such as relay races on
streets that are all cut up by
1eavy traffic.
IL has been a pleasure to see
how enthusiastic the girls were
over the victories OF the Tri-
bune and to hear them remark
that it was no wonder the Tri-
Dune won how could it be
otherwise 1t has en- II
thused them with a
desire to have such
a wheel and as "com n
ing events cast their shadows
before" we feel that VIC
can state with perfect conf

public that the sales of Ladies
rribunes will be very satisfac-
tory to us and the wheel more
than satisfactory to the buyers.
Girls, don't be afraid of buying
a Ladies Tribune. They are
exactly the same as the mems

frame instead of the diamond
frame. In other respects they
are exactly alike, built to stand
hard usage and long wear.

the statement that it took place on the

1t was an evening wedding, and the
church, an ultra fashionable one, was
filled. The BRIDES father makes the
money for tho family, but stays in the

He did that, and i'll sense did the same
thing for himself.

ringing i'll his ears, Nov, father, don t
make any breaks" He had declared
splemnly he wouldn't.
They were i'll front of the cnancel rail.
and the fathers thoughts were concen.
trated on his part in the programme.
There was hush over the great church.

giveth the woman to be married to this
man?'
Then there came from the father in n
resembling and resolute tone that told
OF long pent up energy and expectancy :

begun with the object OF making the house

covered TINT the cottage had fallen into

had not the faintest trace of sentiment IN

Z who wanted to buy the place he put nm
oxorbitant price on tho property. This

sited the removal of tho house. Ho also
found That tho widening of the historic
old Kings Bridge road, beside which the
cottage stands, would involve the destruo-
ton of the building if it were not moved.
Under these circumstances tho society
rented tho cottage at an extravaganza figure
In order to keep some hold on it and mp
pealed to the state Legislature to snvo it.
The New York pnrk commissioners at first
refused to have anything to do with the
cottage, claiming that the preservation of
Euch relics was not in their line and would
establish a bad precedent, but finally the
committee on small parks became interest
led and suggested that the cottage might
Ee established in small park. a bill to
this effect passed both houses of the legis-
iatnre, but when, under the system by
which New York city is governed, 1t came
before tho mayor for his approval, DIRECTORS
appeared on the scene.
Some of these were members OF tho
Gnild Of American Authors, strangely
