letter: Mrs. Langtry is a most remarkab lie wo-

Is hst as q Boston cracker, very ugly arms, abnor-
mally big hands and feet, wickedly slender and
legs, a very shamble of a walk, a vio-

A lady now visiting Honolulu says that the C hief
fault in mankind is that we are prone, when study

more for the good, our own lives would be happier
and the world generally would seem brighter to
us.
