Plain and Figured Foulard Gown

eddy tight gowns, that look as though after
leaving her bath she had been swathed in
yards of fimsy material in place of bath
robe, and yet she is told that any other
style will not be made for her by the es-
adjustment she has patronized for so long
a time.
The Seasons Compromise.
A careful study Of the existing con-
ditions disclose that there are strong
warning factions as regards the dress
of the season, but that the compromise
will be generally satisfactory. Foulard,
that material which has once again re-
ceived the sanction of Dame Fashion,
would seem to be the centre of the
whirlpool of conflicting opinions. Made
with three fiounce or double f1ounce
skirt and a waist with draped folds
there is one model that is certainly orig
inal and also certainly is smart. The
skirt on which are the three hounces is
most carefully cut and fitted. and is in
itself not wide, and careful inspection of
the fiounces does not display any unneces-
sary width, and the waist in spite of the
folds is most carefully designed to dis
play every good line Of the figure.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-05-02

size. The science Of dressmaking has
advanced marvellously Of late, as is
shown in many ways. 1t is not long
since the problem of making waist fit
well under a skirt was difficult propo-
sition, for an ugly, thick appearance was
apt to be given the waist line. Now the
waist lining is perfectly fitted ID care
tully boned to below the line where
the skirt is attached. Then the material
OF the waist is never below just where
the skirt is attached, and by this means
the difficulty is overcome. But it musr
be confessed that the clothes of the pres
ent day, or present moment, it may be
said, are snare and delusion, for their
apparent simplicity is the result of far
more time and thought than when
fashion.
The New Figure.
The newest styles show lowering OF
the bust line that again recalls the fash
Ions Of two or three years ago, when the
low cut corset was so fashionable. The
long corset, designed to make the wearer
abnormally slender, almost Invariably
gave the hlgh bust effect, but this was
never popular, and evidently the corset
makers have at last evolved a corset to
meet all requirements. The longer line
from shoulder to bust is so much more
and waist cut accordingly is
SO far more becoming, dressmakers are
only too glad to welcome the change.
although they were beginning to do won
trous things with the fat trimmings. re-
CARELESS of the line of bust Straight
rassocklike pieces of trimming are not
new. The fashion was inaugurated sew
eral months since, but there are many
new ways in which It is carried out There
are many designs ia heavy embroidery
and lace woven especially for this fash
ion. but some dressmakers prefer to copy
the style by folds or plaits of the ma
Ierial or, as in the case of figured ma
Lerial or foulard, with bands of the plain.
and the effect is delightfully."- smart.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-05-02

There are gowns of foulard made in
the most vigorously severe Directoire
and Empire lines, while again there are
most attractive models that show skirts
gathered. One style has rows OF
shirring, but this fullness is, as it were,
counteracted by the HAT panel effect OF
the front, which has either deep pointed
tunic of embroidered mousseline de sole
or several fiat folds of plain pongee or
foulard that hangs straight down from
the bust to the hem of the skirt.
1t is grave question whether the skirts
that have so much material in them as
have some ofSthe latest designs will eves
become popular. The material is draped.
caught up in one place or another with
shirred rosettes or ornaments, recalling
inevitably draped window hangings The
fashion is such a ponderous, ungracefulI
one and requires such an amount of ma
terial, fortunately, that the chances of its
ever gaining universal approval are slight
indeed, but fer the moment it must be
scheduled with the styles of the season.

fed that it will be less Objectionable and

unfortunately new designs simply be-
cause they are new.
| Yelling and sheer transparent fabrics
always seem especially well adapted TO
summer, and while foulards, soft silks and
! satins and pongees are much in evidence
/ at the moment there are the most fasc'-
mating gowns turned out every day from
the leading houses that are of yelling
or as it is universally named, voile-cry s.
talline, marquisette and grenadine. an old
favorite under many new name, that are
lcharmingly light and transparent in effect.
The unlined, much embroidered, loose coat
In the thin material is an extremely smart
garment and distinctly new in its present
rendering The sleeves are short, do not
reach to the elbow, and, in truth. are
regular cap sleeves; the length is to the
knees or a little below; the lines are
straight and narrow: both narrow and
wide braids are used as trimming, and the
braiding is elaborate in design. Such a
coat is intended to be worn over a gown
of the same material. but it is also APP
propriate with figured foulard, although
the original model was made to be worn
with the same material.
Belts Return to Favor.
While it is quite impossible to elimi-
nate the separate waist from the fashion
able outfit of to-day, and there is, if,
possible, more variety Of color, material
and design to choose from this season,
the entire gown is unduestionably the
smartest. All in one piece is the favor
lite style, no matter what may be the
fabric chosen, and the lines of trimming
are SO arranged as to emphasize the one
piece effect On many of the latest mod
els that are displayed the belt is to be
noticed, and even the old-time folded
belt of taffeta or satin is evident, but the
trimmings go over it if long lines are
desired Another odd fancy is to
have the belt slipped under either

summer outfit on such radically different
ideas.
There are, however, alterations to the
apparently helpless situation-a silver lin
ing to the black cloud-for it is not every
leading dressmaker who counsels this abb
solute reversal of style and design, and
many of the most prominent houses have
refused to yield single point in their de-
fence of the distinctive if somewhat ex-
aggerated simple gowns of the Directoire
order that have now attained the utmost
perfection of workmanship and detail. In
deed, so positive are the orders one house

HE latest models in dress that
are being displayed are, to say the
least, disconcerting to womankind
in general, and especially SO in
particular to those women who
have felt it incumbent upon them
to select their summer outfit in strict ac-
cordance with the marked styles Such
an absolute contrast of design as is now
to be noted with the designs so positively
assured six weeks or month since is for
tunately not often to be met with in the
annals of fashion.
Last summer there was faint fore
shadowing of just such troublous times
when the women who went abroad fitted
out as they supposed according to the
very latest possible dictates of fashion
found themselves in the middle Of summer
confronted with complete revolution in
dress and all their carefully planned and
Los Angeles herald., 1909-05-02

extensively executed gowns looked quite
out of date.
This swing of fashions pendulum is a
repetition of the same offence in so far as
the contrast exists, but it is a backward,
not forward, swing this time, and tho
styles of few seasons ago are now ex-
hibited. After trying to get accustomed
to the exaggeratedly tight fitting skirts
and long sleeves, the absurdly high waist
line and general scantiness of material to
be now given founeed and gathered skirts,
normal waist lines and elbow sleeves is
decidedly bewildering. Instead of exagger-
ratedly long lines and untrimmed skirts to
be confronted with designs that include
full double dounces, quantities of embroid-
cry on skirts and an almost kimonolike
drapery on the waist is positively de-
moralizing to the average woman who
wishes to be fashionably and becomingly
gowned and who has planned her entire

the Cabbage Patch" which comes to
the Honolulu Opera House, and the
laughter wrung from delighted OBJ
servers of the droll characters moving
in and about the loquacious grass wi
dow's home in the poverty-stricken
Cabbage Patch is of the doubling up
kind. Every audience is spurred to
unrestrained laughter by the sight of
the dolorous Miss Hazy in her bridal
array mixture of black alpaca, Not
tingham lace curtains, and a peacock
aigrette; of the garrulous Mrs. Wigs,
plucking her false front from the coal
scuttle; the bibulous Mr.. Stubbins
rocking the bride elect on his attenuat-
ed knee; the lath-like Mrs. Eichorn's
arrogant bearing; the ponderous Mrs.
Schultzs wobble, and the grotesqueries
OF the others. A more amusing mosaic
of comic characters, piquant dialogue
and humorous action, could hardly be
conceived. In the title role will be
seen Ada Dryer, one of the best char
acter comedians on the American stage.
Her work has the distinction of Wig
nette Helen Lowell as Miss HAY,

matrimonial agent, furnishes a strik-
ingly original Characterization. John

of "the soldier of fortune" Hiram

duality as Lovey Mary, is even more
pronounced than any of her predeces-

One of the last acts of the retiring
Board of Supervisors this morning
was the granting of rights of way to

ton from Major E. e. Winslow, U. s.
Engineer in charge in this Territory,
for military railroad transit for the

But in order that there shall be no
break in the government, the same
section provides that the Mayor-elect,
during the month of December shall
make all the appointments to be made
by him. and the person so appointed
shall qualify and take Office at noon
today These appointments 1 have
made as the law directs. l understand
from the newspapers that my author
ity to make some of these appoint
ments is questioned. l can only say
that in making them l was doing my
duty under the law as l understand
it. If / had not made appointments
to the position l did l should have
failed in my duty as l understand il.
Whenever the courts say did not
have the power to make any appoint

pointments I have retained heads OF
departments where experience and rec
ord made their services valuable to
the city.
LET THERE BE HARMONY.
1.-The Board of Supervisors are a
coordinate branch of the City and
County government The law gives
the Board large powers. AS Mayor
have no desire to take any of its
powers from it's. The law also gives
Mayor large powers and important
duties. do not think the Board
wants to take any powers from the
Mayor If each is sincerely DESTROYS
of using only the powers given by the
law there will be no trouble about
harmony between the Board and the
Mayor I certainly want harmony in
order that all connected with the City
and County government may work
