Mauve is one Of the favorite colors
for linen $uitings. but it has the dis
advantage Of fading quickly. Soft duh
navy blue is more practical, and so are
chestnut brown and some of the leath-

orings are being made up into hAvel-

SILK poplin is being used on smart
suits. Sometimes the collar and cuffs

very good for wash gowns. Rep is as
much used as linen.

CHIC STYLES.

Old Trimming Used In New Places.
An Effective Braid.
1t is hard to devise new trimming
this summer, but all sorts of unique
places are adorned, such as patch
pockets. armholes, underarm seam, etc.
An effective braid may be made at
home by purchasing very narrow SOU
tache and plating it, as one does ones
hair, in three strands. Wider widths
may be also used in this way.
The new shoes have both round and
pointed toes. As rule, short vamps
and highly arched shoes are sought
after. Bronze kid leads in the new
styles. Tan suede is out of it, while

RAILROAD OFFICIALS
COMING FOR PLEASURE

w. H. Bancroft, one of the leading
men of the Southern Pacific Railway
company, and E. E. Calvin, vice pres
ident and general manager of the South,
ern Pacific, with headquarters at San
Francisco. whom the cable press dis
patches yesterday morning stated were
coming to Honolulu, sail from the Coast
today on the Siberia. A private letter
received from prominent railway man
of Utah gives the information that the
visit of the two railway men is purely
for recreation and for pleasure, and is
probably the first outing of the kind
either official has had for eighteen OF
twenty years.
They may visit the volcano, and will
probably so arrange their visit that
they will return to the Coast about the
end of the month. The writer says
that their lives have been particularly
active in the development of railways
IN the Rocky mountains and west to
the Pacific coast and their official
careers have teemed with enormous re
sponsibilities and strenuous work.
Twenty years ago Mr.. Bancroft was
at the head of the old Union Pacific
system with headquarters at Salt Lake
City and Ogden, while Mr. Calvin was
superintendent of the Idaho division, at
Pocatello. Both have risen rapidly in
the railway service and are regarded as
authorities Ia all railway matters.

H|LO GIRL TRIES
To DROWN HERSELF

Mrs. Mary PLANE, formerly of Hilo,
tried to commit suicide oa Decembe
p by leaping from the deck of the
ferryboat Oakland into San Francisco
bay. The woman made the attempt at
2:30 in the afternoon, but was saved
by a boat S crew. She was accompa-
MED on the boat at the time by her
little daughter, Mabel, aged five years.
The Chronicle says:
'EMary PLANE is a native of Hawaii,
of Spanish descent, very beautiful and,
according to her own account, is pos
sessed of husband who for years past
has been treating her harshly, acting
unkindly to the children, living a life
of comparative idleness, drawing the
income from his wife's property, and
at the same time cherishing an affinity,
whose identity his wife is unwilling to
disclose.
''The pair were married six years
ago at Hilo, Mary PLANE being at the
time fifteen years of age. They short
ly afterward came to this city, where
Charles PLANE, the husband, met the
woman he had formerly loved and who
has been, according to the wife, a
scourge to the happiness of the house
hold Two children have been born to
the marriage, Mabel, now five, and
Charles, two and half years old.
After coming to San Francisco
Mrs. PLANE became proprietress of an
apartment-house.
The husband, says the wife, has
been in the habit of collecting the
money and applying it to his own use,
and with view to getting control of
everything has, according to his wife,
been attempting to force her to leave
him.
''The whole of the circumstances
preyed upon her mind, she says, and
yesterday. leaving the younger child at
home, she came to Oakland, where they
have recently been living, in house
owned by Mrs. PLANE, to this side OF
the bay to seek some employment
which would relieve her of the neces.
sity of living with her husband. She
had no intention, so she says, of com
hitting suicide when she started out,
but her nominations on the way across
got the better of her and on the inn
pulse of the moment she cast herself
into the bay.
Gas soon as she felt the water en-
velop her, her old instinct as a swim
mer with the other Hawaiian girls in
the days of her maidenhood seized her
and striking out with a sturdy breast
stroke she felt that she could never
sink She was rescued within three
minutes Of jumping overheard.
