DIRECTOlRE GOWN HITS
HONOLULU FROM ORIENT

The Directoire gown struck Honolu-
lu yesterday but did not stay. 1t was
not altogether the style of the already
famous sheath gown which electrified
even Paris, or the modified limitations
which were Haunted in New York and
San Francisco, but it was something
of the type, anyhow. Odd as it may
seem this Direetoire gown came from
the Orient, and it was worn by per-
son hailing from the capital of the
Chinese empire.
A young Chinese aboard the Siberia,
en- route to the United States to attend
school, wore this Directoire. 1t YVES

BRIDE WAS HIS
DIVORCED WIFE

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Saturday, July
1S.-The announcement of he marriage
of Frank Hassank and Mary Edwards
in Newport, KY, revealed remarka-
BILE romance. For six months Hassank
courted Mary Edwards and did not
know until after the wedding that she
was the wife he divorced in Kirksville,
Mo-, ten years ago. Both were resi-
dents of Kirksville at tine time of their
first marriage. Hassank obtained n di-
voree after a quarrel, and FIVE or six
years ago Mrs. Hassank came to New
port, where she has been making her
home with friends.
Four years ago she married John Ed
wards, but he died six months after the
wedding. The widow retained his
name, but dropped the "Mrs."
Hassank happened to be there on a
visit little more than a year ago.
He met his former wife at dance, but
she had bleached her hair and he did
not know her. He fell in love with her
the second time.
Mrs Edwards recognized her former
husband, but saw that he did not know
who she was. She thought it a good
joke and decided to keep him in ig-
norance for time. When she got
ready to tell, she, too, was in love
again, and was afraid to inform Has.
sank, fearing he might refuse to see
her again.
A few minutes after the wedding
ceremony she revealed her identity to
her husband, and they decided to for.
get the past and begin all over again
The couple probably will go back to
Kirksville to live in the home where
they spent their first honeymoon.

WHARF A MENACE.

The approach to the Hackfeld wharf
is menace to life. Continuous heavy
draying over the planks has caused
them to silver and wear away until
some are SO thin and weak that
horses are frequently breaking
through. Yesterday. while the Siberia
was in port. visitors to the vessel had
ample opportunity to observe the dan
gerous spots. Here and there big
holes were overlaid with piece OF
plank, or a stick was thrust into a
mole in vertical position. each stick
representing a warning to drivers and
pedestrians. In other places heavy
planss have replaced old ones. and
these are two and three inches above
the adjoining worn-out surface. There
Is no judging whether one worn-out
board is stronger than another and
only when a horse Dlunges a hoof
through can Il be known just where
the weakest places are. AT night the
conditions are even worse for then the
warning posts cannot be seen in the
darkness.

FIRE DEPARTMENT

has taken another step forward toward
the realization of her dreams of ca IN
tyseatship.
The department was organized We'd
nesday, July 10, with list of %
charter members, and opened its bust
ness life by electing w. o. Crowell
president and w. A. Wright secretary.
To perfect the organization Presi-
dent Crowell appointed committee
consisting of G. +. H. Baker, Jas. Me-
Clellan and Frank Waipa to draft a
the new department, the committee til
prepare the draft and report at the CALI
of the president.
Mr.. Crowell was requested to call on
the Superintendent of Public Works
while in Honolulu and try to interest
him in the new organization to such
an extent that he would arrange for
the erection of tower for the purpose
of cleaning and drying hose, would fur
nish the members with a belt and
spanner each, as well as two nozzles,
and would allow the company funds
for stationery and like incidentals.
1t is a sign of the progress of the
place that Waimea can indulge in a
fire brigade. Some years ago it was
hard enough to scare up water enougH

slashed-and, here is where this ORR
entail Directoire gown went the Paris
samples just one better-it was slashed
on both sides. The muchly-advertised
French gowns had slash only on one
side. The slash was not permitted to
flare too much owing to frogs holding
the sides together. These side open
ings gave opportunity to display the
wearer's silk encased limbs from the
thighs to the sock tops.
| Well, some said it was not really
Directoire gown, but as the best au-
thorities have it that the slash is the
real feature of the Partisan Directoire,
as holes are the best clues to identify
certain kinds of good cheese, this must
have been Directoire gown, only
