Dainty Trimming of Remnants.

There is a mixture to be found
among trimmings which can be imita-
ted by the needlewoman who picks up
remnants. Embroidered lawn is edged
with imitation Irish crochet lace or
valenciennes. Broiderie Anglaise will
edge a strip of ecru embroidered
muslin galloon. This is effective, es-
pecially on muslin gowns. Pearl but
tons are a favorite addition to the
trimming of these light gowns.

GIVE NO MORE LIGHTS
TILL AFTER NEW YEAR
GAS COMPANY STANDS BY ITS
CONTRACT WITH CITY
Council Therefore Demands That $50
Lamps Be Installed Immediately
After January I, 1908, Refus-
ing Compromise Offer

Seeing that the Los Angeles Gas and
Electric company would stand by its
contract and refuse to install the addi-
tional lights asked for by the city coun-
| Gil Immediately, the council yesterday
passed an ordinance demanding that $50
arc lights be put in place Immediately
after the first of the new year.
The companys representatives had
suggested a compromise-that 200 lights
be installed within ninety days, provid-
ed the city would ask for no additional
ones next year.
City Attorney Hewitt, Councilman
Dromgold and City Electrician Mana
han, as a special committee, had con-
ferred with the gas officials after Tues
days session and yesterday morning re-
ported the situation to the council in
special session. The understanding was
that If the council accepted the 300
lights it could ask for no more, much
as they were needed.
The company fails to see any profit
in the contract from now on. The third
and final year begins in January, and it
is expensive to install and maintain
lights for so short period with no
certainty Of renewal of the lighting con-
tract, the officials explained as their
reason for holding strictly to the con-
tract under which the city should have
ordered the lights at least six months
ago. This oversight was an error of
the last council, it is charged.
