At this time of the year the very
prettiest possessions in the wardrobe
are brought forth. No more saving
now for great occasions, summers
reign is brief at the best, and let us
wear out summer stuffs ere the season
vanish. A group of warm weather
frocks OF exceptional beauty We are
tempted to dwell upon. One was a dull
pink muslin, made in quaint modified
Empire fashion; worn with this a
short sacque coat of dark red glace
silk, the hat black chip draped with
black lace and bearing single red
rose IN front. A tall dark-eyed girl
wore white muslin dress and a short
light blue glace coat, with a white lace
lingerie hat trimmed with light blue
ribbon. A matron looked exceedingly
well in little black. glace coat accom-
panying a white yoile skirt, a white
embroidered collar standing out
against the black of the coat.
White and yellow are sometimes
very gcod together, especially if only a
little of the color be used. A white
Danish cloth dress, creamy in tone,
and trimmed with straps of cream
silk, was worn with a yellow straw
hat adorned with yellow plumes. This
costume was effective, and change
from all-white quite pleasing. The
parasol, Of course, was white. Nine out
of every ten parasols seen are white.
A white wool trimmed with bands
of light gray IS modish, introducing
the pale gray note and the strap trim
ming liked on tailored dresses. Not a
little brilliant green is used in ribbons
for midsummer millinery, and hat
crowns are now of a remarkable
height. This does not mean that the
low-crowned hat of early spring is rel
egated to things that We're, but that

springs up on all sides a wonderful
variety of frivolous little coats, But
not a few possess a beauty that gives
them an excuse for being. Just the

of an all-white toilet, the material Of

familiar with the cities of many lands

the Icople OF Honolulu with a wis
dom and understanding passing rare:
He would be a ruthless iconoclast
who would try to pattern one city aft
er another. We must preserve the in
dividuality of Honolulu, or its charm
will depart. Cut through broad ave-
nues and boulevards, build hot and
sunny quay widen your streets and
straighten them, spend enough money
in such measures hopelessly to bank
rupt the city, and when the work is
all done the winsOmeneSS of Homo
lulu will have departed, and it will
always be spoken or as the town that
was spoiled. So my first charge is. be
true 10 yourselves. Do not dream of
what other cities may have done; but,
far isolated from them, develop your
own Individuality, be Hawaiian, be a
more beautiful Honolulu. Then you
will have distinction, and only then"
The one to whom the plans were so
fortunately entrusted thus pleads for
a development, not re-makng, his

charm or the narrow, winding streets,

that Honolulu is not does not aspire
