HOW TO SEND
FRISCO MAIL

Postmaster Pratt said yesterday:
81 wish the public, more particular
ly the business firms, could be induced
to deliver their mail for San Francisco
to our Office at the earliest time prac-
ticable, instead of waiting until just
before the hour of closing. Under the
present system of delivery of Homo
lulu mails by the San Francisco office,
all letter mail, received sufficiently
early to permit, is made up by the
clerks in this office according to
schemes furnished to us by San Fran
cisco office, such mail being Sent upon
the arrival of the vessel at San Fran
cisco with all possible dispatch to the
various stations and letter carrier dis
tricts where the addresses receive
their mail. This not only very greatly
expedites it's delivery, but reduces the
work in that office.
ITO illustrate: A business firm
mails letter at this office on Tuesda!

THREE BIG MATTERS TAKEN
Up BY THE CENTRAL
IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE

Acting on the report of special 1
committee to consider the question
OF contract work In making roads,
the following resolution, presented by
c. w. Ashford, was adopted by the /
Central Improvement Committee last |
night:
"That the meeting accept the re-
port of the committee in public inn
provements of this date. and that
said committee be requested to con
slider, and report as soon as conven-
lent, to what extent further legisla-
ton by the board of supervisors may
be desirable, as supplementary to act
! AZ of 1911, or otherwise, with respect
/ to securing a reasonable definition of
new road work, as distinguished from
repair work, and fixing a percentage
of cost, as above new construction
above which any road work shall be
considered new, and how far the prin-
ciple of contract work should be EN-
bodied as obligatory upon the board,
and to what extent provision should
be made against arbitrary divisions
of what may be logically one piece OF
work. with a view to prevent evasions
of such principles as shall be EN-
bodied in any such legislation as
herein suggested"
In a general discussion preceding
the putting of the question in final
shane as above, there was unanimity
of views in favor of contract work as
far as practicable. The committee 10
charge of the resolution was reminded
of problem to be solved in the fact
that the city held, in large part as
Territorial property, an expensive

Z Another part of the committees re
, port, which suggested that some ac
5 ton should be taken by this associa
ton in regard to the proposed sale
by the Government of a triangle OF
land at the corner of Hotel and Union
, streets, was dealt with in the follow
ing resolution, prepared by DAME
Z Logan at the request of President E
l. A. Berndt:
K Resolved. That this meeting ap
prove the finding of the public i'm

location of Union street has beel

that it is the duty of the Superintent

GOWNS FOR THE SUMMER
Wide Choice of CoIors Is Allowed for
the Costumes of the Pre-
vaiing Season.

Gowns of liberty satin are practical
as we'll as effective, and quite as
many colored as black ones are made.
while the same can be said of the
soft-finished taffeta silks. Many of
these gowns have jackets to match,
but there is always a waist to match
the skirt, fashioned in such manner
that the appearance is given of
one-piece gown. This style Is per-
fectly possible on warm days as we'll
as cool, for yoke and sleeves may be
of transparent material.
Extremely practical. also, are the
coat-and-skirt costumes for cool days.
In plain color, with trimmings OF
striped black and white, there Is quite
a new model with which Is worn a
lace waist of white over the color OF
the gown. 1t is of filet and Irish lace
combined 1t is not necessary that
real lace be used to carry out the
model satisfactorily, for there never
was time when so many effective
imitation laces could be bought at
such low prices.-Harper's Bazaar.

~ HE little miss has a much wider
choice in hats than she had few
years ago. Since it beca 1e the
fashion to copy shapes made for
grown-ups, in small sizes, for young
heads, childrens millinery has become
much more interesting to the pur-
chaser and much less taxing in its
demands on the milliner. The variety
in shapes makes it possible, also, to
suit the child's individual style.
Two good designs are shown here.
suitable for girls from about to 16
years old They are made on the
familiar bell and helmet shapes and
only differ from these shapes made
for grown people. in the matter of
size. The bell-shaped hat appears to
be covered with silk, but would be
Just as effective in a braid. 1t is cov-
cred with rows of fine-meshed lace.
alternating with motifs in flower
forms made of braid. The petals of
each motif is filled with a figured
net
A wreath of small ribbon roses, set
in millinery foliage and showing more
buds than blossoms, is divided and
placed part on the UPPER right brim
and the under left brim The design
is particularly good for girls who wear
curls White is the color chosen in
this model, but any pale tint is pretty.

A light blue braid of straw covers
the helmet shape, shown in the second
picture band of rose petals. made
of ribbon in slightly darker shade
of blue, is laid about the base of the
crown, finished with fiat rosette at
| the front, made of the same petals.
A short, fluffy, made quill in dark
and iridescent feathers is posed at
the left front of the hat, and may be
dispensed with when the hat is made
for very young girl The same de-
sign is pretty with small flowers set
in the ribbon band at intervals or with
four rosettes like that at the front.
dividing the band into four lengths.
These little shapes stay on well
and provide some shade for the eyes.
Wide-brimmed Leghorns and other
straws are never out of fashion and
probably never will be. Lace bonnets
with simple outlines and fluffy lace
hats are worn every year. The lingerie
hats made of embroideries and of
fowered fabrics like dimity and Gre
tonne are ideal for misses, made in
simple, youthful fashion. The time
has gone by when it was hard to
choose a hat for the little girl or
young miss She is sure to be pleased
among the many styles that the de-
siguers of millinery have this season
made for her.

very low. You still think | did that?"
had never been less sure of it
than at that moment, but an imp OF
perversity made me retort, "Yes."
He hardly seemed to hear me. He
stood looking down at me as l leaned
against the door-frame.
Good Lord" he groaned ITO
think that I might have killed you!"
And then-he stopped and suddenly
kissed me.
The next moment the door was
open, and he was leading me down
into the house. At the foot of the
staircase he paused. still holding my
hand, and faced me In the darkness.
I'm not sorry" he said steadily.
II suppose l ought to be, but I'm not.
Only-I wanted you to know that |

tend to now. I am-almost as much
surprised as you are"
l was quite unable to speak, but
wrenched my hand loose. He stepped
back to let me pass, and / went down
the hall alone.
