capped, but for a man who Is really being
earnestly and energetically pursued
there is scarcely a worse place. 1t is
easy to land-in Honolulu, but 1t is i'm
possible to get away unobserved. Since

watched by sharp-eyed police, for there
Is always some one wanted who may be
trying to get away. The man who has
come to Honolulu to escape arrest, if
he is followed up. is, therefore. in a
trap already for he cannot leave the

stays.
This has just been shown in the case
Of ex-Cashier J. P. Adams. of the Com
mercial Bank. Of Fulton, No., who was
charged with embezzling $4,000. On the
very day that he landed in Honolulu as
fugitive he was recognized by man
who had known him in the East. Here
lies the danger. Hawaii's population is
drawn from so many places that any
one WHO arrives in the islands Is likely
to find an acquaintance.
Adams would be in the tolls now but
for blunder made by those who were
after him. The Honolulu man who rec
ognlzed him sent for papers. intending
to make the arrest and claim the reward
offered. but the parties to whom he
wrote made public the fact that Adams
had been located in Honolulu. Adams
saw it in San Francisco paper an
hour after steamer brought the paper.
and he took the same steamer for the
far East, where he is now.

Later on we will discuss the furs that

Theatergoers are clamoring for all
white effects. and it matters little what
the material is. so long as the hat itself
Is not too heavy. AT the opening Of
one of the promising theatrical sue
cesses Of the season this week, it was
that nine out of every ten wo-
men wore white hats. and those in the
boxes had chosen the widest brims to
be found. With their pretty evening
dresses, mostly white, too, the hats
looked charming, and in admiring the
affect one forgot to consider the pos
,ibility of renewal of a very selfish
and inconsiderate fashion. However, so
ong as the large hats were confined
o the boxes. the public need have moth
ng to say in regard to the matter, only
women who sit in the orchestra ara

hough we trust not to the extent of imi-
alton.

but this one appeared to be constructed
in concentric circles and completely
covering the brim and crown. Crepe
chiffon was, in this instance. used for a
drapery, but instead of birds or wings

finish with its tiny black spots.
Miniver Trimmed Hats.
One window in a millinery shop dis
played nothing but miniver trimmed
hats, and one would certainly gather the
Impression that the royal fur is in the
lead This is true, too, to a great ex-
tent. though it is impossible to say how
much its popularity will be affected by
the fad for gray squirrel.
Toques and wide hats are made of the
white skins. yet in many instances l
have seen miniver beautifully shaded
with brownish tinged fur, so that the
effect seemed less white than colored.
It struck me when looking over the
imported models, as we'll as the origi-
nal COneStlC pTOuuCtlCho. thot 'Siy III
tie trimming is being called into requi-
sition. Rarely are flowers seen, wings
are confined to one variety Of hats, SO
that there is nothing left but plumes.
As a matter OF fact. even these are not
worn with lavishness that would war
rant calling plumes the adornment par
excellence. Lace figures scarcely at ALL
except in hats made entirely OF Irish
point, though occasionally a drapery of
some fllmy mesh is wound about an
evening hat The mode seems to be to
favor rather plain styles that depend
upon richness of material and outline
for their real beauty. AS concession
a tiny bunch of tips, a curious ar
of wings or fur tails and
bands are put on to give the final touch.
Some time ago it was predicted that
The demand for squirrel would exceed
the supply, and it may be said that
has fulfilled the prophecy. For
toques, for large picture hats and for
almost every kind of head covering this
soft, gray fur is desired.

Still another fur hat Of this variety,
and one that possessed something of a
novelty in the way of ornamentation,
was sable ,toque which had on the

with tiny acorns. OF course, this idea

Beaver Hats.
The beauty Of beaver hats cannot but
succeed in making this style fashion
able. Some of them are truly charm
ing. so thick and soft and fluffy that at
a distance they give one the impression
of being genuine fur instead of only fur
mapped. In white especially are such
hats modish. and the usual trimming is
either fur or velvet They must be
made to look as rich and shaggy as
possible. 4.
A combination of these two trimmings
was seen in a broad picture hat of the
finest Of white beaver. The crown had
been removed, and as substitute, fow-
ers were solidly banked upon it. so that
the outline was retained and any clum-
siness avoided. The blossoms were
velvet roses in nasturtium shades. a
striking scheme with the pure white
nap. Then about the crown, arranged
so that it stood up in close band,
there was caught strip of beaver, ap-
parently one whole skin stretched
around so that the head and tail met
at the back. where both were allowed to
fall in loose ends almost to the shoulder.
Instead Of leaving the head in its ma
tural condition, the irregularly cut
piece of fur. paws and head. was SIM

district of Kau, where the con-

those Of primitive Hawaii as anywhere

Transit Company's electric street rail-
road system. the first electric system
in the islards. The visitor from the
country had opened his mouth in wonder

white man had brought%to his country.
silently watched the big vehicle, crowd
ed with passengers, get under way and
pass down the street. Then he threw
his old hat in the air with a yell of de-
light. "Haole maikai." he shouted in
glee. and not bit disconnected by the
fact that others were laughing at him
"Haole maikaiv' ("White man all
right.")
This Hawaiian is not to be taken as a
sample. On the mainland an impress
sion far from the truth prevails in many
places as to the Hawaiian's state of
civilization. 1t Is not generally known
that Honolulu had a newspaper before
San Francisco and that the Hawaiians
have exercised the suffrage and checked
their monarchs with legislatures for half
century. Thus they are not, new to
politics
At the last election there were some
rude awakenings for white men who
thought Hawaiians were easily led.
Easily led they were. in professions and
not at the polls. The
Hawaiians tooss money and made prom
ises, they went to meetings and shouted
for Democrats and Republicans-anj
then they downed them

form of embellishment. except a narrow
