The new importation of nuns veilings

fashion furnishes great variety at even
less expense than the making of vari-
Gus fancy waists to be worn with one
stylish black skirt, since tie cost OF
enough handsome material to form a
guimpe is comparatively trifling. The
style is therefore we'll adapted to the
necessities of economy while proving
at the same time most dressy and
often picturesque one. A search through
the D-basket will often bring to
light yard or so Of remnants of silk
brocade, black or white, net. etc, left
over from gowns that have long since
had their day, which can be utilized
for these guimpes. Black beading run
through with bebe ribbon, alternating
bands of insertion and MORE or satin
ribbon, sewed together, a lattice-work
of narrow velvet laid over tinted silk
are also among the pretty things used
and often the sleeves are made to
match the guimpe instead Of the bodice

most attractive colors in broadcloth,
ladies cloth, and similar fabrics used
for day costumes this winter
Blouses, with very handsome jeWeled

still in great favor for theater and de-

Jesse Moore

The soldiers from the South pass
ing through Honolulu on their way
to Manila are always clamoring for
the famous Jesse Moore whiskey,
and heretofore they have been un-
able to obtain it. The owners Of
the Anchor Saloon has filed long
felt want, and VIM. Carlisle and
Chas. Andrews are busy from
morning till night supplying this
health renewing beverage to the
boys in blue. All judges of good
whiskey admit that the Jesse Moore
brand is the best, and it is well to
know that it can now be had, un-
adulterated at the Anchor on the
corner of King and Nuuanu sareets.

The Art League.

The Autumn Exhibition at the
Kilohana Art League closed on
Saturday. 1t has been very graft
flying exhibition to all lovers OF art
and credit to the exhibitors and to
the League.
Mr.. Howard Hitchcock has i'm
proved wonderfully and exhibited
several very clever pictures, mostly
representing Hawaiian scenery.
Fred Yates had sent several
sketches from Japan which were
painted in his peculiar bright man.
ner. Philip H. Dodge is devoting
himself to the art and shows earnest
ness and careful execution.
Deep Sea Fish is a fine painting
by Ernest Parker, which gives pro-
misses for the future. His colors are
bright and the drawing true to ma
ture. Speaking about bright colors
special mention should be made OF
Frank McComas, who has covered
his canvas with some wonderfully
colored flowers, water and skies. A
new school, we presume.
Mrs. S. S. Kinney has several
charming pictures in water colors
and pen-ink sketches. Several ol
her subjects are from Denmark and
very cleverly done.
Mr.. HI. Mott-Smith lie a very able
artist who deals with landscapes
we'll selected from Hawaiian scenery
There were several other exhibit
ors deserving of special mention and
the patronage OF the public. The
prices placed on the exhibited pic
ture are very reasonable indeed anc
within the reach of anybody looking
for something to give as wedding
Christmas or birthday presents.
