With Wandering Honolulans
A Honolulu friend whom we all
know Is now at Lac de Como and
writes as follows: l was awakened
this morning by band music which
came floating across the water of this
exquisite lake. A few moments later
we heard beautiful chorus of mems
voices in song. Germans they were
who, suppose. are making tour of
the two lakes. Lecco and Como. I
jumped up to go to the window and
looked out, and saw beautiful lot of
shadows and colors on mountain and
water which / shall not soon forget.
The singing was lovely, too. Along
came a Northern Italian girl dressed
In rose-pink skirt with velvet rib
bon put on in zigzag fashion around
the bottom and black velvet bodice
and white jumper, lace cap and lace
apron. Sweet she was, really. One
sees here so many pretty little things
which help to make the surroundings
picturesque. We seem to be far too
practical and easy In the States to
care for the little things. This place
and, in fact, all the Italian lake re-
gion, Is exquisite. The mountains
around 1t range from five to eight
thousand feet high and many of the
highest ones have still snow on the
tops. Imagine the splendid variety
Of the coloring-the greens Of early
spring. the gray-greens of the olives
in profusion. with grape vines train
ed in lattice-work, the purple haze
which lies over much of 1t, and the
beautiful greens In the water, with
the Italian skies, SO well known for
their azure blues. We have seen
such variety of gorgeous things
that one in the end fairly froths at
the mouth in excitement to try to
express ones self, but the lake region
is exquisite. The side, for instance,

perish the thought! 1t was good,
though, thereD, where we gradually
made a climb of between three and
four thousand feet, was a prolonged
view which was most grand. When
we reached the summit, there lay
yonder the beautiful blue Apprentices
with greens, grays, pinks, puppies,
and browns all scattered over them
selves with occasional snow-capped
peaks. Oh, It was to roar wild and
long for enjoyment! We looked back

long boa constructor, winding
around the mountains and down

to exclaim ecstatically.
Mrs. Williams and Miss Juliette
have just returned from two weeks
shopping trip to New York and the
marvels Of the trousseau are gradual
ly being unfolded.
The wedding gown Of heavy white
satin is to be made directoire and its
only ornamentation will be quanti-
ties of fine old lace which once be-
longed to the brides maternal grand
mother. Save for ball gown Of
black chiffon, which is said to be a
wonder and a dinner frock of peach
blow pink satin made empire, the
gowns are all Of the lingerie order,
all deliberately embroidered and in
set with lace.
Mr.. Letter and his bride will sail
for Europe August 20 and at Paris
the bride intends to lay in a supply
of gowns sufficient to carry her
through her first season at q chate-
laine of one of the notable houses Of
the city and her second In society.
Aside from the frocks there are half
a score of hats and not a merry Wild
ow In the lot. For these hats a won
derful hat trunk costing $S5 has been
purchased. True to her spirit as an
innovator, Miss Juliette has declar-
ed her intention Of wearing each of
her trousseau hats once before she
dons 1t as bride.
AS for underwear, everything
comes en- suite and the entire ward
robe is made OF the finest handker-
chief linen. Save for the brides ini-
tials In hand embroidery, there is no
trimming aside from the thread lace
which finished the edges of the sew
eral garments. One garment, a night
robe, made of lace and a marvel OF
hand embroidery. came as a gift from
Mrs, William Bishop of New York.
and is said to have cost 500.
Mrs. George Summerlin, wife of
Captain Summerlin, U. 8. A., who
"matronized" Letter and his fiancee
during the courtship, presented the
prospective bride with an ostrich
feather fan mounted on tortoise shell.
Emblazoned on the shell are the
brides initials in diamonds. Miss
Grace Jarvis, granddaughter of the
late Senator from Michigan, has CIV
en- Miss Williams magnificent
brooch with her initials in dia-
monds. Letter has presented his
bride-to-be with strand of matched
pearls. With the check for $1,000
given her by her father. Major Will
liams, Miss Juliette bought brooch
of diamonds and sapphires to match
her betrothal ring.
Finally Mrs. Letter. who is de-
lighted with her only sons choice,
has signified her intention of passing
over to her sons wife on the ma.

COMMERCE COMMISSION WILL STOP
ALLOWANCES FOR SUGAR TRANSFERS

goods from the shippers to the carrier
For carriers to undertake to compensate
shippers for performing services which
the shippers are legally bound to do for
themselves is for the carriers to violate
the act.
'-Third-The publication of gross and net
rates would needlessly add to the COM
plexity of tariffs. Wherever ii is possible
for carriers TO file net rate as such. it
is their duty 10 do So
''Fourth-The allowances here considered
are rebates and violate the law. No order
is issued, but the carriers are expected 10
conform TO the law without delay
1t was disclosed that the payment, as
at present in New York, of cents per 100
pounds to the shippers as carriage was
really in the nature of rebate from the
through rate fixed by the railroads on
shipments of sugar The allowances, or
rebates in one form or another, have been
in vogue since 1885 and they range from
the present allowance of cents per 100
pounds TO as high as AZ cents per 100
pounds.
