Shoulder Pieces.

To balance the hugeness of such hats
some sort of neckpece is also necessary
for shoulders are beginning to slope down
in a very limp way. So there are vast tulle
neck ruches and marabout and ostrich boas
which give the wearers, despite their light
ness, an even more burdened look, tremen-
dous muffs, as caressingly lovely, going
with these. OF course, no warmth is OBJ
tanned by such feathery trappings-that Is.
none to speak Of but they all add tremen-
dously to the charm of beauty.
Numbers of bodice gowns, deceiving SIM
ply in essence. have been imported for the
show, these trailing as to skirt and coquet-
tishfy girish as to waist effects. Beautiful
soft silks, chiffons, mousselines. chiffon vel
vet and other textures which flow grace
fully and admit minute manipulation are
employed for these. Not infrequently lace

serted in a skirt to achieve the look OF an
odd hounce or an overskirt fall. Again, II

earthquake he opened his playhouse on the
site of the old Central Theater, and the first
night every seat was filled.
Cloth and Wood Combination.


night every seat was filled
Cloth and Wood Combination.
This theater is cloth and wood combi-
nation. with a shanty front in Market street,
containing the box Office. canvas roof over
the auditorium, and the stage housed in a
sort of barn. Here stock company has
been playing, and although the actors have
had to use their resoureefulness at times as
they were never compelled to do before yet
they boast that their aJiiiences have never
detected their makesl.fts. All the lights
for example. suddenly went out one night
while they were playing the Heart of Ten
nessee." The performance was accordingly
continued in candle light until the manager
suddenly remembered the death scene in
the second act. AS ordinarily played the
lights are dimmed and the corpse crawls
off the stage. But the candles could only
be dimmed by being extinguished, and this
would halt the play at it's climax. Accord
ingly, he revamped the drama on the spot,
pulled each actor aside the moment he left
the stage and gave him new cues; and in
stead of the dead mans daughter weeping
over his body it was placed on stretcher
and carried out of sight to the playing of
dirge.
Although the wretched condition of San
Franciscos streets tells the temper of
the eastern tourist, who plows his way
through their dust and debris, yet they are
joy to the google men" The thicker the
air with dirt the better the business of the
google men," You see one at almost every
corner. carrying load of spectacles and
goggles on one arm and with the other wav-
ing to prospective customers. If he sees
that your eyes are unprotected he Will

He will insist that your-eyes are bloodshot
from the pulveriZed mortar dust that ladens

you want, and If you are not on your guard
he will harness you up in pair before you

you must buy.
The chaotic state of some streets has also
been boon to the curb pedders. They can
establish themselves without danger of po-
lice interference alongside of heaps of junk
or debris, where the crowds sweep by them
on either SIDE These hucksters are of all
kinds and conditions. Some will stick to
their old homes, homemade carts, which
appeared in such numbers Immediately after
the fire. One of these is still to be seen not
far from the city hall 1t is a little tobacco
shop wheels, which appears and disap
pears along with it's proprietor each morn
ing and evening. Not long after sunrise 1t
comes rolling around the corner, picks out
place on the sidewalk, stands guard there
until shutdown. and then wends its way
home again. 1t consists of nothing more
than an old washstand, nailed fast to
wheelbarrow.

Two Modish Types.

Two smart afternoon frocks are shown
by the second drawing. The one at the
right is of pale brown cloth-a deep tan
really-and brown lace mounted on chiffon
of the same shade. The smart feathered
hat is scheme in vivid scarlet. Pale gray
cloth and taffeta silk in the same shade is
used for the second dress, with narrow
gray velvet put under each frill of the
skirt. On the coat this under emphasis Of
velvet is also employed at all the edges,
piece velvet forming the smart little revers.
A walking hat of gray, faced with velvet,
and trimmed with handsome gray and
white paradise plume tops this costume.
The fur set is in white fox.
AS to horse show furs in general, 1t looks
as if paleness of tint rather than the
Splendor of a skin is to be considered. Ex-
cept when combined with some toilet in a
rich and decorative way, the darker pelts
are not likely to be much in evidence. Err
mine is tremendously to the front for coats,
sets, trimming, etc, but many smart lit
tie white jacket is only rabbit skin, while
numerous long haired furS are Enthusiastically
colored to suit the gown. 1t seems strange
to think Of pink and blue fox. but there
are their tails dangling to muffs and boas;
while the gray gentleman takes so many
tones in this skin he Is almost unrecogniz-
able. When baby lamb is used the satiny
black is offset by touches of beautiful color
coral, pale blue, green, anything edging
fronts of little coats and bottoms of CO.
quettish sleeves. Over this f1ppancy again
there is more of fashions skittishness. if
the word is allowable; embroidery, jet but
tons, ruches of lace or chiffon - saffron
maybe-all telling the eye that it is angel
icaly simple and the soul that it is almost
wickedly complicated. For what does this
subtle look of simplicity mean but infinite
toll, infinite expense. In other words, this
is the keynote of the new horse show
things. A modest effect-for these best
things have an exquisite restraint in result
and a reality of mad extravaganza; an
extravaganza sometimes that passes the
thousand dollar mark.

Crossed Suspenders.

This toilet. which showed bodice with
shoulder cape held on by crossed suspend
ers, is depicted by the larger of the week s
drawings. The hat is of old pink felt with
fantastic black paradise feather and
black tulle The coat costume at the center
of this picture is entirely of pale blue vel
vet. The long skirt is untrimmed, but COM
pletely everything the coat is an application
of white lace heavily embroidered with
blue. At the front of the coat a garniture
of blue satin ribbon made in loops and
balls is an odd touch; the covered frame
hat is of blue satin with a white paradise
plume and a white fox boa, immensely
fluffy, covers shoulders.
The third gown is perhaps the most
graceful of the three 1t is of cream white
chiffon CLOTH deliberately braided and inset
all over with lace. A narrow edge of black
velvet gives sharp note at the front or
the loose coat, which hangs open, to show
a vast gold buckle used to attach the black
girdle of the lace bodice. The hat Is of
cream felt with blue feathers black os-
prey and black tulle underneath. All Of
these toilets. which were about the SIM
plest of the horse show wear, were design
ed for evening use.

rates from that port. This will not
amount to a great deal, as the rate
from the Sound to Honolulu is the
same as that in effect from this city.
'Such action as this is just the sort
of thing that attracts attention and
gets the good will of the buyer. Every
business man of Honolulu is anxious
to hear of my treatment here and the
prices of the goods and my report to
them shall be the most complimentary.
L could not do otherwise. I can not
say too much for the people of this
city. The business houses are large
and complete and have fine men to
look after their customers
OTHER BUYERS HAVE BEEN
HERE
Incidentally / may mention that
other buyers for Honolulu firms have
been here ahead of me. am the third
who has been here within the last
few weeks. Each made large pur-
chases and was exceedingly well
pleased. Others will follow from time
to time and there is no question in my
mind but that Portland has every pros
pect in the world to get large part
of the Honolulu business.
Mr.. Blom states that Hawaii is pros
pering as it never has before. Homo
lulu s elegant harbor is being i'm
proved by the government, and the
United States Army is spending in the
neighborhood of 100000 in the con-
struction of headquarters. The sugar
crops, the principal industry of the
islands, are unusually good and in
addition there is an abundance of
every kind of tropical fruit cultivated
in that country and the merchants are
all enjoying good times and making
money.
In fact, the prosperity which is now
prevailing throughout the United
States has spread to the Hawaiian
Islands and the year promises to be
of the greatest and the most profitable
in every way that the people have ever
experienced.
Mr.. Blom leaves for San Francisco
this evening. He will sail Saturday on
the steamer Alameda for home.

JAPAN COULD EASILY
Take HAWAIIAN ISLES

X L. Cathbean. a Montreal attorney
| who has been in the Orient on s;x
| months pleasure tour. is at the Hotel
| Majestic en- route home. says the Ex-
aminer, of August 25 He says that
| the people of Japan and the Japanese
government would like to have the
Philippines. but that neither want TO
go to war in an effort to get the
archipelago. From what he saw and
heard, he says the younger element of
the japanese navy talk freely about
the ease with which. they say, they
could take these islands.
The Japanese" continued Cathbean.
believe that at present they could do
it. and also secure at least temporary
foothold in the Sandwich islands. Com
mercial restraints would, in my opin-
ion, prevent the japanese from making
war on the United States. This coun-
try as her greatest customer, for it
takes her straw mattings, the bulk of
her raw and manufactured silk and
practically all of her manufactured
Japan draws millions annually from
this country and the citizens realize
the foolhardiness of cutting off this
revenue. Japan's new tariff law goes
into effect October 1st, and it will raise
the duty on flour, kerosene oil and a
few other items exported from this
country. The bulk of American ex-
ports to Japan will not be interfered
with for several years, as they are
now provided for under an existing
treaty.
Just at present the Japanese gov
eminent is not bothering about mill
tary questions. 1t is engaged in COM
mercial problems. The bonded indebt-
edness is heavy and it has imposed
many hardships upon the people. They
are taxed heavily. However, the coun- |
try is forging ahead in manufactures
and it is straining every effort to cap
ture the trade of North China and Man
churia.'

CAPT. PARKER FELT
NORTHERLY DRIFTS

The Inter-Island S. s. Claudine was
irving early on Monday morning in
stead of on Sunday. Her delay was
caused by her having been sent to
the assistance of the U. s. transport
Sheridan, now piled up on Barber's
Point, Oahu.
THE Sheridan is ashore to the north
ward of the point, not to the south
ward" explained Captain Parker to the
Herald. ''She was quite a way out of
her course, and when it is considered
that the captain knew four hours be-
fore, in passing through the channel
between Niihau and Kauai, exactly
where he was by taking a four point
bearing off the westerly end of Kauai,
the only explanation possible is that
he was caught in the tremendous
northerly drift which sent the s. S.
Manchuria ashore off Waimanalo.
Some. people are inclined to scott at
this talk of a remarkable current which
has lately set in. but it is not matter
for scoffing. When two big ships like
the Manchuria and the Sheridan, in the
hands of competent officers, get into
their trouble, there is something I'M
usual going on. More than that, I
know from my own experience In the
last trip up here from Honolulu that
there was a most unusual northerly
pull. L set my course from Laupahoe-
hoe for Kaupo and never fail to pick it
up, but last trip the usual course
brought me off the Hama coast, the
drift across the channel being suffi-
cient to take me that far off,
Captain Parker seemed to think that
the chance of getting the Sheridan Oft
is fair, but as he had not seen the
position of the Manchuria lately he
would express no opinion as to her
chances.-Hawaii Herald
