| L|FE-SAV|NG PLAN.
STEAMER AND BARGE TO BE USED AIDING WRECKED BOATS.
Utter Failure Sometimes of Efforts From Land to Rescue ShlpWrecked People Leads to Unique
 Scheme.

The noble work of the life savers along the sea coast is not to be dis. counted one whit, but often their SUI perhuman efforts for the saving of life from some stranded vessel prove unavailing and it must be admitted that shore aid at its greatest efficiency is still inadequate. It remains, there fore, to discover some more certain means of reaching a wrecked vessel and taking off safely the human lives which may be thereon, and this it is believed has been found in scheme that has met the approval of the pres ident, and which is nothing more nor less than life-saving steamer and an ocean barge which is to be used in the work of rescue. MT. John Ar buckle, the coffee merchant, has of- fered to furnish all the necessary wrecking boats and outfit free of ex- pense to the government The plan is to have two lifesaving vessels working in conjunction, anchor on the ocean side of the wreck. Spray the water with oil, fire a life line across the ship and take of the peo- pie in brooches buoy or by flexible iron gangway that can be extended from the saving barge to the wreck, so that passengers and crew may reach safety no matter how great the storm or high the surf or how far the wreck is from the shore.
 MT. Arbuckle called on President Roosevelt at the White House and showed him the drawing for rescuing people from wrecked vessels when it was impossible for the life saving corps to reach the wreck He under stood the plan in moment, and said 1t was good thing. Then he wrote the following letter introducing him to Representative Cocks, who took him to the head of the life saving serv- ice
 My Dear Mir. Cocks: You must know already who Mir. John Arbuckle is, but introduce him to you anyhow as gen. tleman whom I have long known as in- terested in many admirable charities He has scheme in connection with life sav- i.s which seems to me excellent. He wishes to try 1t at his own expense, and merely wishes authorization from con gress to do it. Won't you go with MT. Arbuckle to the proper official of the treasury. go over it there and then. if

Bands of silk trimmed with lines of the narrow braid are another fashion, and often the silk band with the dark braiding is used in preference to the same colors, but this is again one of the details to be solved by individual taste.
 Waists to match the skin are again the most fashionable this spring, but almost invariably is there short coat or wrap to be worn with the gown. This is on the order of the short wrap with long shoulder effect, not generally becoming, it must be admitted, and yet decidedly smart. AS rule this style of wrap has the disadvantage that it completely hides any lines of the figure and unless cut exactly right gives the appearance of

 Aggie May stood in a dazed stupor for a moment, then she hastily climb ed on chair to look into the glass.
 It was at this juncture that Aunt Mag came in, and unconsciously set tied everything. She found Aggie May with very sugary mouth and fearful eyes before the mirror. In a minute her own keen eyes had grasped the sit. uation.

SUGAR ON
 HER SOUL
By GRACE sALINGER
Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.)


 Aggie May had committed terrible crime, and now she was reaping the harvest. She knew it, because her mother had told her so, and whoever heard of mother telling lie? If only Aunt Mag had said it she thought there might have been mistake, but her mother-never!
 And how she had said it! Aggie Mays sobs gained new force as she recalled her mothers cold face when she had said: "Aggie May, what have you been doing?"
 And Aggie May could feel again the sickening horror of detection. She surreptitiously put forth small red tongue, which swiftly made the cir cle about two rosy lips to gather in all telltale crumbs. And then, secure in her belief that she had well GOV cred her tracks, she had answered, unblushingly: Nothing"
 Aggie Mays tongue was short, and sugar had such an unpleasant way of sticking to fat baby hands and fat baby faces.
 Aggie Mays mammals face grew harder still as she uttered these awful words: ''Aggie May, you will never go to heaven. You are no child of mine. You have violated every one of the Lords command ments. He has told you not to steal, yet you have done it; he has said you must not lie. yet you are doing it. Do you think he is going to forgive you? No! He has pun ished you already. Come here"
 In fear and trembling awe Aggie May stepped to her mothers side. Mrs. Sangster deliberately traced the outline of word on the child's brow.
 Listen" she said, this is what is written there. Sugar. ~ That spells

a short, thick waist However. it is not a fashion that is generally at- tempted, excepting by dressmaker who so thoroughly understands her business that she studies lines, and she will cut the wrap in such wise that by adding an inch or two in the front or back the desired line is given, and, presto. the wearer of the gown looks as delightfully."- slender as she could possibly desire.
 Tassels and buttons play an impor- tant part in this seasons clothes. The buttons are most decorative, often really artistic. while the tassels give charming finish. Lace ruffies. ja- bots and ties, with ruchings of lace so arranged as to soften hard edges and yet for the lace itself not to show, seem to be the part of the ele- gancies of modern dress that sug- gest extravaganza without too bold ly asserting it. Buttons, buckles, lace, etc. add materially to the cost of the gown, also, which apparently is one of the desired points of modern dress: tassels and bra;ding are not so cost ly. although the silver tassels are by no means cheap.
 Shall skirts be plain or trimmed is question that is still being most yio- lently discussed. and lot of argu- ment Is being wasted on ;he topic. for in these days no woman feels she is called upon to slavishiy obey any of fashions mandates. bn: can choose what best suits her own especial style of beauty. The long plain skirts are most delightfully."- graceful, outline gooG figure to perfection. and yet are cut so wide that the flare below the hips takes away any idea of the old fashioned tight fitting skirt. With one of these perfectly hung and fitted skirts made of some handsome mate
 rial. nothing is required to add to its beauty. and yet the wide band of some contrasting material or embroidery is effective and very charming.

Another desirable form of walking skirt has stitched strappings covering the seams and extra plaits let in the lower part of each gore: this skirt is best made UnIined. For a very tall woman a double skirt is not unfayor- able if made with a deep point front and back cut up only at the sides.

So often the spring season is so iphort that it seems as if the heat of summer followed immediately after the intense cold of midwinter, and then cloth costume seems to be quite necessary. as there is really so little time to wear 1t, but the we'll dressed woman takes no chances on exceptional seasons and provides her self with smart cloth costume of light weight, knowing that there will ibe plenty of days during the summer when such a costume will prove ex- actly the correct thing to wear.

HIS NAME.

In some country districts it is not
unusual to see the owners name SIM

in order to comply with legal regula-
lions. unfortunately, this custom lends
itself to the playing of pranks on the
part of the residents maliciously In

tering, and thereby get the cart owner
into trouble with the police.
A case of this kind having occurred,
a constable accosted an Irishman

OTHER WORK.

The admirable portrait of DR.. Day,
as it deserves to be. It is a strong
and honest piece of work, possessing
all the qualities that a good portrait
should show. OF course, much was ex-
pected from Miss Annie Fl. Parke, and
she has even exceeded the expectations
of those who are familiar with the ex-
cellence of her pictures. She has an
unerring eye for color, her drawing is
strong and accurate, and she has the
faculty of Selling that which is essen
TALLY beautiful In whatever SUBJECT she
chooses. This year she visited the
other islands and brought home a sur
prising collection, both as to quantity
and quality.
She shows a group of Kona subjects.
most important of which are Twilight
at Kaawaloa" and Morning at Kaa-
waloa." These are both in the vicin-
ity of Cooks monument, which is shown
in another picture. Two small sketches
in a single frame, with some original
lines beneath, make a dainty pair. Miss
Harris displays a very beautiful set of
plates.
Mr. Hitchcock, the president of the
League, has never done better things
than those which he contributes to the
exhibition this year. Born and reared
in Hawaii. there is not phase of it's
beauty that he does not perceive and
faithfully interpret. Evening Hawai-
ian Fisherman is a superb study of
a native fishing in the waning light Of

The water color exhibit Of the Art
League in it's entirety is of unusual
merit. Not only are it's members well
represented, but at least two visiting
artists have generously contributed to
it's walls.
Of prominent merit is the group of
Mexican views shown by Mr.. Otto Wix.
His work is wonderful for its bril-
lance and purity Of color, and every
where shows the touch of the master
hand. Seldom has work of such excel
lence been shown in Honolulu, and the
Art. League is to be congratulated upon
being the means of introduction for
this delightful collection. The scenes
are all in Mexico and need only to be
seen to be appreciated.
Mrs. Mcneil, who modestly claims
little merit for her work, should, on
the contrary. feel proud of the way in
which she has managed to do so many
dainty bits of island scenery in the
midst of the many social demands upon
her time. Her exhibit of china shows
her to be mistress of the art of decora-
ton, and the League is again fortu-
nate in having such finished work to
show, as all lovers of fine china can
not fail to appreciate.

Of the Preacher.

A New York clergyman, who often
spends his vacation in fishing the
streams of the Adirondacks, was on
one trip adopted by handsome set
ter dog, which insisted on following
him from camp to camp, as he moved
along the stream.
One day he met a party of men
working upstream with native guide.
The guide Immediately recognized the
dog as his own property
Trying to steal my setter, are
your" he shouted at the clergyman.
I'll have you to Jail for this. There's
law in the woods just as big as you
have in the city
The clergyman endeavored to ex-
plain that he was an unwilling com
panion of the dog, which had refused
to be driven away, but to little effect
until he added a two-dollar bill to his
arguments.
Its queer what strange things hap
pen to man up here" he said to the
stage-driver who later carried him
away from the woods THAT is the
first time I was ever accused of steal
ing a dog"
Yes, sir" replied the driver, sym
pathetically, and added, after a mo-
ment's pause, For myself, sir, 1 have
never been accused of stealing any
thing. Companion.
