fancy styles are INDUCED in to relieve
the monotony of the long or short
coat. For instance, some are so braid
ed and soutached and stitched with
cloth bands that but little of the tus-
sor is seen, while others are cut away
in front almost to the underarm and
open over the hips and slit up twice
at the back from the waist line and
are so long that they fall almost to
the edge of the train of the long skirt.
Others, again, are cut perfectly straight
in front and are quite untrimmed and
the only note of originality lies in the
two front lapels being brought right
round to the back and fastened with
three large buttons, which gives the
impression that the front of the coat
was in the way of the wearer and so
had to be pinned back.
A prettier style than either of these
is to have the underarm seam and the
back seam from the arm downward
slit up and held together by narrow
velvet bands of widesoutached braid.
When this style is carried out in white,
with bands of the palest gold the ef-
feet is most graceful and young look
ing.
Judge Lorrin A. Andrews, District
Magistrate of Hilo, and Mrs. Susan e.
Bailey were married Monday afternoon
at the residence of Mrs. Helen &. Alex
ander, 2268 Nuuanu avenue, at 4
o'clock. Rev. II. II. Parker officiated.
The wedding was a very quiet one.
Only about twenty of the more init
mate friends of the bride and groom
were present. Both Judge and Mrs.
Andrews are well known in these ISL
ands which have been the lifelong
home of each. They have received con-
gratulations from a very large num-
Der of friends since the engagement
was announced.
They left by the Mauna Kea for Hilo
at noon Tuesday

Everywhere one goes the whisper
"directoire' may be heard. However
the new gown seems to be honored
rather in the breach than in the OBJ
servance by Honolulu, at least as far
as the more extreme models are con-
cerned. San Francisco has taken the
rage up and it has furnished copy for
the newspapers by the column. Each
time directoire gown, slashed accord
ing to the correct style, is seen on Van
Ness avenue or Fillmore street the
Call or Chronicle must record it. The
big stores are also taking up the fad
and each has a model wearing the di-
rectOire on exhibition
Another fad, but one which is hardly
likely to become popular here, is the
carrying Of swagger sticks by ladies'.
1t is rather neat, but in this climate,
where a parsol is really very conve-
nient during the larger part of the day
and for 1865 days each year, there will
be few of the dainty little canes to be
seen.
