IN WALL WORK PUSHED

SOUTH AMBOY, Aug. 16 - The
Northumberland improvements I'M
der way for the past several months
are gradually coming to a head. Two
steam shovels have been at work
the past two weeks. and the work is
being rushed at a good rate Of speed.
Forms for the concrete walls are
being placed at this time. The work of
paving the roadway from the state
bridge to Stevens avenue, through
the Hole will be commenced within
a short time. Residents in the vi
cinity of the Hole are of the opin-
ion that the cutting down of an ex-
~ceptionally large rec in the vicinity
of the north approach to the Hole,
would add much to the appearance
of this section of the city. Several
weeks ago, contractors removed a
IKE tree ne.r Bridge street, result
Ing in a much neater appearance in
that section.

PRINCESS KALANIkNAOLE
PENSIONED BY HAWAII

I HONOLULU. T. H.. April 8. -
Princess Elizabeth Kalanianaole,
widow Of the late Prince Kuhio, who
was Hawaiia's representative in the
Federal Congress for twenty years,
will be paid pension of $500
monthly for life by the Territory of
Hawaii, under the terms of bill
now before the legislature which
has already met with the approval
of the lower house. The plea was
made that the sum was due the
princess. not only because of the
distinguished services rendered on
behalf of the Hawaiian people by
her husband, but-because of her
own royal blood.
Considerable opposition to the bill
was voiced in the House, several
members attacking the sum as be-
ing too high, but 1t was finally
passed when 1t was pointed out in
debate that less than that would not
be fitting to vote for one who was
formerly a member of royalty.

The gown, hat and parasol are

to match.
This costume can be worn only
in the early morning or late after
noon, when the sun is low in the
sky. At those times the parasol
can be carried at an angle just rak-
ish enough to afford protection from
the sun. but still at just the right
slant to allow the pet parrot to
perch contentedly on the handle
For midday strolls. when the sun
is burning hot, a white poodle is

For early evening promenades

jewelry matching a brown chow
