wel as bands of muslin embroidery in
the same tint. Two tinted toilettes in
chiffon mousseline illustrate these
trimmings and methods of applica-
ton.
A toilette in wild rose pink is gar
nished With narrow white lace and
pink satin ribbons. The very low bod
ice opens over a chemisette of white
net and lace, and has the ribbon APP
piled in straight bands upon the girdle
and bertha dTapery. The sleeves are
of the pink mousseline and lace, three

The Full Gathered skirt.
The fun gathered skirt has two
deep 1ounces, waved top and bottom,
and there trimmed with a frill of the
lace over one of ribbon. A second
band of ribbon laid in fluctuations at
the middle of each fiounce, gives the
look of four ruffles.
The dress in pale blue has mousse
line embroideries in the same color.
The bodice, which is shirred around
the shoulders, is trimmed with bands,

However, nothing is so satisfactory
and safe for Illuminating the Christ
mas tree as tiny electric bulbs of diff
ferent colorS scattered thickly through
the branches and attached to wires
which receive their power from a
portable battery. In a house having
electric service the wires from the
tree may be connected with one of
the house wires, and the separate bat
terry will not be necessary. The cost
of two or three dozen bulbs with the
accompanying wires and battery will
be from 81 to Sc.
For banking about the foot of the

Trimming and Lighting
the Christmas Tree

The Christmas tree of 1904 will be
a marvel of artistic effects and me-
chanical perfection. The new orna-
ments are ablaze with color, or they
CLEAN with spangled and tinseled eff
fects, while. from the illumination of
the tree to the miniature scenes with
which it is banked, no effort has been
spared to introduce up-to-date embel-
lishments. While modern machinery
has brought Christmas tree ornaments
down to a very reasonable figure, many
of them can be reproduced by deft fin
gers in the home circle at cheaper
prices and with equally good results.
For instance, almost any girl can
make little figures of heavy paper,
pasting on heads of Santa Claus, ba-
bies, angels or pretty girls, and dress
them in suitable cloaks and garments
built from sheet cotton batting sprink-
led thickly with silver dust From this
same sheet wadding snowballs may be
formed and fastened to the tree by
thin wire. Cornucopias, rounded from
silver paper, are effective ornaments
and are a good substitute for candy
boxes. Long crystal prisms which
dangle from old-fashioned lamp globes
or candlesticks. if removed and hung,
one on the tip of each branch, give
| the effect of icicles in the sunlight, on
morning after Jack Frost has visited
the trees in the midst of a rain storm.
In connection with these homemade
decorations, the Christmas tree will
glisten and sparkle if tinseled orna-
ments are interspersed. Beets and
| carrots splendidly reproduced in pa
pier mache have sprouts of tinsel
leaves. Glass balls showing brilliant
green, red or blue hues glsten from
filling of tinsel, and are set in a
circle of tinsel leaves. Clusters of
| holly or mistletoe. are encased in
punches of tinsel. while stars, dwarf
trees and sprays of asparagus vine are
| built entirely from tinsel.
The danger of fire at a Christmas
| festivity is practically done away with
by the use of odd and dainty fairy
lamps instead of the colored candles
| of past ears. Cup-shapes made from
| translucent composition show laugh
| ing faces Of monks and Brownies,
are lighted by short, fat tallow cam
die. With pencil and brush clever
fingers can produce these lamps from

V-shaped neck and three-q7larter
sleeves. The chiffon was draped over
the silk in accordion pleating, and the
sleeves were merely two graduates
founces in accordion pleatings, and
edged with fine rows of ruching. The
neck was outlined by a band of chic
fon applique studded with topaz. and a
piece of the trimming stiffened like
stock end, fell from the point of tho
neck to the waist line where it ended
IN point finished with topaz fringe
The girdle was also studded, and set
at intervals across the front and on
the sleeves following the V-shape of
the neck were tiny rosettes of chiffon
with topaz in the heart of each.
For a Girl of Unlimited Means.
Many girl of limited dress al
lowance has a pale colored skirt ana
high-necked blouse upon which sbe
depends for semi-dresSy occasions
Given a loW-necked bodice to match
this skirt and she is equipped for a
smart dinner or informal evening
function.
A very simple but effective decollete
blouse for wear with a pale pink skirt
was developed from a pink repousse
lace Which is yard and a half wide
and 50 a yard. Three quarters of a
SdIu was employed Tor Shlrr1ng over
the silk foundation of exactly the
same shade and for the puffs which
formed the short sleeves. A gradu-
ated bertha coming to a deep point
back and front was formed from
lace edging which exactly matched the
all-over, and which costs $3.50 a yard
This fell over the sleeves so that thew
did not require a lace fiounce. but
were finished with dainty ruching
of the all-over. The chic touch of the
bodice was corsage garniture of
exquisite pink rosebuds in chiffon ar
ranged in garlands with chenille leaves
of soft green tint. On the left side
just below the shoulder was a soft
chou of ribbon to match the pink in
the lace. and the hair ornament was
of the same pink ribbon with rose
buds and leaves nesting in the heart
of the bow. The perfect blending
of pinks in the skirt and the blouse
with the daintily chosen green of the
leaves achieved a most effective get
up.

Girls Who Will Make During

The holiday season is commonly
chosen for debutantes to make their
first bows TO the social world. Dress
makers are now up to their elbows in
maidenly hnery, which will appear at
Christmas balls and parties and all
the way through the months till Lent.
The majority of the gowns dis
played show the usual preference for
white. and delicate. almost child-like
simplicity of make. But since it is a
color-s season, tradition is sinned
against frequently and successfully
and toilettes in pale and charming
colors contrast elegantly with the viz
ginal models.
In matter of trimming. these charm
ing frocks likewise depart from for
mer unwritten rules, which allowed
only the simplest garnitures and
barred out lace utterly. Youthful
looking nets and laces appear in pro-
fusion, shaping little camps for low
cut bodices and embellishing fancy
three-quarter sleeves in many ways.

The Gift Blouse.
In selecting a blouse for a gift it is
of the utmost Importance to acertain
the color and style of the skirt with
which 1t will be worn. 1t is absolute
ly essential that the blouse this year
should have precisely the color tone of
the skirt, and further than the fabric
of the one should tone perfectly with
the fabric of the other.
Many smartly dressed women cling
to the Independent blouse. independent
in fabric, but not in color, and she
who has broadcloth or silk skirt in
white has a blouse also in white,
though in a different material The
girl who looks well in pale blue may
have a broadcloth skirt built on Di-
rectoire lines. with several pale blue
blouses to match, and the same with
gray. In fact. it is becoming some
thing Of a vogue for girls to adopt the
most becoming color and wear it al
most exclusively.
Blouse and Skirt Must HarmOnize.
Very few women who make any pre-
tentions to good dressing offer a strik-
ing contrast between blouse and skirt.
Even the black skirt with a gay bodice
has gone out. In its stead for wear
with black house skirts slightly train
ed, come independent blouses in va
rious black materials. For the palmer

fon are shirred and corded i'm elaborate

They can be bought ready TO make up

The woman who has a limited dress

white, and the white waists for wear
with white broadcloth or silk skirts
were never more effective. Here the

The ball skirts worn by girls this
season all show gathered fullness and

seen anywhere though velvet ones on
the court order are sometimes worn
by matrons with splendid effect, over
lace petticoats. Such a train, with a
matching bodice, is supplied for one
of the winters handsome young chap
erons. 1t is made of pale blue chif-
fon velvet with embroidered applica-
tions in mauve and pink All around
the train runs an embroidered and APP

front shirred Jacket over lace vest,
and at the decolletage the underbody

To Consider Conditions

Delegate Kuhio CabIsd to Urge
the Passage By Congress
of Enabling Bill.

Senators of Oahu were called into
consultation with him by the Governor
yesterday afternoon, the subject being
of course the county government prob
lem. Secretary A. L. C. Atkinson was
present at the conference, together
with Senators C. L. Crabbe, David
Ka1auokalani, D. P. r. Isenberg and
w. c. Achi.
A caucus Of all the members of the
Senate who can be brought together,
at o'clock next Monday morning. was
decided to be called. Mr.. Kalauoka-
lani, the Home Rule leader, agreed
with the Republican members that it
was best to have a caucus of all the
Senators who could get here by the
Kinau and the Kauai steamers with
those of Oahu, at the time mentioned.
Secretary Atkinson issued the call
forthwith by wireless telegraph and
before evening had replies indicating
that majority of the Solons from the
other islands would attend the caucus.
Mr.. Baldwin is on Kauai and will
come along with Messrs. Wilcox and
Nakapaahu. Mr.. Dickey is on Maui
and will accompany Mr.. Kaiue to town.
1t is believed that Messrs. Woods, J.
Brown and Kaohf, if not Mr.. Paris also,
will manage to catch the Kinau leav-
ing Hilo this afternoon.
At yesterdays conference Mr.. Crabbe
submitted a resolution passed by the
Republican county committee the pre-
vious evening, asking the Governor to
request Congress to ratify the County
Act. The discussion of this resulted
in a cablegram to Delegate Kuhio ask
ing him to urge Congress to pass the
County Act enabling bill now pending.
In the meantime the question of ap-
has been submitted by
the Governor to Attorney General An
drews for an opinion.

OFFICE TALISMAN

Secretary A. L. c. Atkinson's attention
was called yesterday, when he had be-
trayed a sigh over troubles of office
dropping upon his desk, to a talisman
in view from where he sat, whereof he
had not been aware. This is a Hebraic
prayer scroll in miniature, enclosed in
an iron case, which is attached to an
inner side of the doorway leading to
the waiting room of the executive
chambers. By raising a slide the He
brew characters come into view
through round aperture. There was
another similar amulet on the opposite
side, but it was removed some time
ago.
