Opera bags, handsome work bags and small ribbon bags that are so welcome with each returning Christ mas are more beautiful than ever this year For the art of weaving ribbons, which amounts to as much as paint ing when 1t comes to picturing flowers. seems to have reached perfection. Woven and printed Dresden ribbons and the richest brocades are used for the various kinds of bags. The heavy brocades are used for bags to be car ried on the street, the lowered and gayly striped printed ribbons are chos- en for work bags and the small toilet or vanity bags for carrying powder and powder puff, small hand mirror, a little square of chamois and all the other little requirements which wom- en find it necessary to have within easy reach all the time
 The colors chosen for hand bags are soft and rich and the flowers shown in raised velvet against satin back ground. Eggplant and deep royal purple shading into black in the back ground, blossom into rich American Beauty roses in their natural colorings with dark green shadowy foliage melt Ing Into the ground. Little rosettes finished with pendant ribbon flowers or little bows are used as finish Such bag is shown in Figs. 1 and 2

CretOnnes are so attractive that they have inspired much designing of ar. ticles for personal use and house dec. oration. Recently linen crash and lowered cretonnes have become more popular than any other fabrics for tasteful and inexpensive fittings and furnishing. Certain patterns have been feafured for living rooms and porches, but it is in bedroom furnish ings that they take precedence of ev. erything else. They are bright and dain1y and better still, they are wash. able. Crashes are embroidered in fast color embroidery silks or deco rated with cut figures of cretonne ap- piled and button-hcle stitched down. There is long list of attractive things which are made of these. .dura. ble fabrics. Among them the dressing case sets, which cannot fail to please. are among the least costly and most effective of Christmas gifts. They are acceptable to either men or women friends
 The lowered cretonnes are used for covef7Ng boxes made to hold handker- chiefs. gloves, neckwear, cravats and wells. and the large boxes for hats and shirtwaists. They are fine for laundry bags. shoe and slipper bags, pin cushions and pin trays, tea trays and tea cosies Dresser scarfs are made of plain fabric bordered with cretonne Picture frames are covered with it and the cut-out figures are ap- piled to candle shades. Cushions for chairs help carry out the scheme for cret0nne decorations.

In the picture are three candle shades, fine tray and a frame for photographs. They are made of ere. tonne or of linen A set made up of the tray and frame and one or two candle shades all matching ought to rejoice the heart of any one who ap. preciates pretty dressing case. They are all very easily made.
 To make the pin tray small oval frame with glass and back is needed Plenty of these are to be found at the ten cent stores framing pictures which it is decided satisfaction to take out and destroy After cleaning the glass stiff cardboard is to be cut out tusing the glass as a guide) into backing for a cretonne covering Paste the cretonne to this backing smoothly or allow half inch aronnd the edge and fasten the cretonne with stitches drawn across the back of the cardboard. Slip the covered form in to the frame under the glass and re. place the back. Paste a piece of nlain paper or felt over the bottom of the tray.
 The photo frame is made of heavy cardboard 912 inches long and 5h inches nigh. The oval openings are trifie over 3 inches high and 2 inches broad The cretonne is cut allowing inch to turn over the edge all around ana 1s inch about the oval openings.

Waters of Mississippi and Mis-
souri, Higher Than Ever
Before.
BOTH RIVERS BURST BANKS
Hundreds Homeless-Industries
Suspended-UnCIe Sam to
Rescue.

MEMPHIS, Tennessee, April a.
Never before in the history of the coun-
try has the water in the Mississippi
and Missouri rivers been as high as it
was yesterday. The river here rolls
mighty flood between the fiat lands
on the Arkansas side and standing on
the level with the top of the former
levee-now burst-it is almost impos-
sible to see across the yellow, muddy
stream.
Reports from the country north and
south of this city state that hundreds
of families have been made homeless
and foodless by the swift rising of the
floods. The bottom lands have been
inundated for hundreds of miles, and
the river channel is filed with the
wreckage of houses, barns and dense,
matted masses of railfences, tree trunks
and drowned bodies of cattle.
From Cairo, north of here, come re-
ports that the water is still rising and
Missouri River points declare that the
levees along that stream are out in
scores of places. The country is under
water in some localities for twenty or
thirty miles in stretches. st. Louis re-
ports that the river there is out of
its banks and the damage to river ship
ping is large. The Ohio River points
also record unusually high water.
Memphis is fast filling up with re-
fugees from the lands to the north and
south of the city. There are believed
to be several thousands of these. Not
all of them have actually been driven
out by the coming of the waters, but
were fearful of remaining in their
homes near the river.
In Arkansas the different streams
opening into the Mississippi are flooded.
Marktree reports that the houses in
the town are swamped, and the Santa
Fe tracks between here and Jonesboro
are said to be washed away in many
places. Arkansas Junction, just across
the river from Memphis, is deserted.
Estimates of the damage done al
ready by the floods in and about this
city range all the way from million
to three million dollars. Industries
connected with the waterfront and
river-borne traffic are at standstill.
The railroads running along the banks
of the river are still open but are run
ming trains slowly, fearing washouts.
Appeals have been sent to congress
by the chamber of commerce and the
Memphis Board of Trade. In reply the
officials were notified yesterday that
$35O,OO0 had been appropriated to re-
build the levees along both rivers. This
lis said to be far short of the amount
that will be required.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1912-04-05

the figures paid elsewhere. Birming
ham, Alabama, pays $1.75 a yard for
$1.90 for brick, $500 for
concrete; 40 cents for macadam, ex.
elusive of grading. Staunton, Virginia,
pays 901a cents a square yard for gran
olithic sidewalk, curbing and cutters.
Other figures for other cities are given.
Save $4,000.
''It is impossible says Mr.. Field,
"to state the full extent of the fin
ancial benefits which would result to
the city in, first, formulating a definite
plan for road construction work, and
then carrying it out on strictly business
lines. 1t is safe to state, however, that,
at least, $5O,00O.O0 could be saved an
nually by adopting such methods.
Costly City Attorney.
In referring to the excessive cost to
the taxpayers of the city attorneys de-
partment, Mr.. Field contents himself
with comparing the work of the city
attorney of Memphis, Tennessee (popu-
lation 200,000) with the work of the
local city attorney, and the cost of
each. With two deputies and detec-
tive, the Tennessee attorney prosecut-
ed 27s7 cases last year, sixty.eight of
which were murder cases and 600 liquor
cases, at total cost of $4,000 for sal
aries. The Honolulu attorney only
handled 497 cases, but the salary cost
of the department was $13,0s0, plus
$500 paid his detective. The Memphis
prosecutor had no stenographer or Of
fee clerk, while the Honolulu man do
ing less than a quarter of the work,
has to have both.
Hawaiian Band.
Mr.. Field believes that the upkeep
of the Hawaiian band should not come
wholly upon the taxpayers but should
be supported in part by the hotels, mer-
chants and others who directly benefit,
The band is costing now $50 per cent
more than in 1906. The expert points
out that putting sentiment aside, the
cost of maintaining the band for this
year is as much as it would cost to mod
ernize the entire fire department of the
city.

Secretary Fisher Is
Hard at Work on
Cupid-Frear Case
By Ernest G. Walker.

(Mail Special to The Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, March 22.-It
is stated at Secretary Fisher Is Of
flee this morning that the ques-
tion of a special commissioner to
Hawaii to study the case of Gov
ernor Frear win probably be de-
termined forthwith. Apparently
the decision will be reached be-
fore this letter is in Honolulu.
Meanwhile the secretary is
marking time as to the reappoint-
meRt of Governor Frear. The
Governor s reply was forwarded
to Delegate Kalanianaole, who
asked to be given an opportunity
to comment on it. The Delegate
filed supplemental brief to his
charges against the Governor,
and the Governor was requested
to reply to that. 1t is understood
here that the Governor has al
ready mailed his reply to that
brief.

SPALD|NG BELIEVES
FIELD REPORT IS A
MOST VALUABLE ONE

81 believe that Mr.. Field has
prepared very valuable re-
port, /" said President E. /. Spald-
ing, of the chamber of commerce,
yesterday. 81 believe that he
has collected for us some infor-
nation that will be found very
valuable by those who are looking
for efficient government of the
city.
"I trust that the report, which
will be printed and circulated,
will be carefully gone over by the
citizens generally"
Mr.. Spalding is one who looks
for better things in Honolulu as
a result of the developments of
the past few months. Yesterday,
discussing the general situation,
he said: "I believe that Sam
johnson would be most desir-
able candidate for mayor. I be-
lieve that he would prove a most
valuable officer.'
In connection with the sugges-
tion that Colonel johnson might
be induced to consider a nomina-
tion, J. p. Cooke stated that John
son was the sort of man he
would like to support this fall.

INTERNAL REVENUE
HAS RECORD YEAR

The biggest year in the history of
the internal revenue department in Ha-
waii will be recorded when the books
in the Office of Collector Cottrill are
closed June 80. The total that nine or
ten years ago was considered large at
forty or forty-two thousand dollars win
this year read around $250,000.
Collector Cottrill is not hazarding
guesses as to the amount, but is en-
phatic in his opinion that it will beat
anything heretofore. The increase has
been all down the line, from corpora
tion to liquor taxes, an increase in all
businesses meaning an increase in
Uncle Sans revenue, new business
meaning new items on Uncle Sam IS
books and everybody's prosperity in
general contributing to the prosperity
of our Uncle Samuel.
