GRAND RECEPTION.
rendered by the Residents of Honolulu

rendered by the Residents of Honolulu
to Admiral Kimberly and staff.
The reception rendered by the resi-
dents of Honolulu at the Hawaiian Hote
Friday evening to Admiral Kimberly
and staff, was in every way grand sue
cess. The spacious grounds resplenden
with lights cleaning amid settings O
green foliage were like scene of fairy
enchantment, while rows of Japanese
lanterns on the verandas seemed to wage
successful war against the surrounding
night. The Railways of the hotel were
carpeted for the occasion and the most
lavish display OF potted plants and ferns
impaired to them an aspect of tropical
luxuriance. The doorways and entrance
were draped with American and Hawa-
ian flags. Tasteful groupings of plants,
artistic drapings OF flags and beautiful
festooning OF green in the bail room, left
nothing to the suggestion of the most
critical fancy in the way of embellish-
ment. On the Eva wall large 'K'
wrought in flowers of yellow and white
against background OF dense green at
tracted the attention of the entering
guests. A carpeted dais at the Mauka
end of the room was reserved for His
Majesty, while the hero of the occasion
occupied seat under the floral initial
before mentioned.
About s 80 the guests commenced to
arrive, and the Hawaiian Band from its
pavilion discoursed inspiring and enliv-
ening strains of music.
The gallant Admiral and staff attended
by Mesdames w. G. Irwin, Jno. S. Nc
Grew and w. F. Allen received the
guests, and soon the ball room was a
kaleidoscope of dashing uniforms and
brilliant toilets.
About 9 o'clock their Majesties the
King and Queen attended by His Ma
jesty's Acting Chamberlain j. W. Rob-
ertson and His Majesty's staff arrived.
At this instant the lights of the ball
room went out amid great glee and
laughter with no hint as to the where
abouts of Moses. At 10 o'clock dancing
commenced.
Among those present were their
Majesties the King and Queen, Adj
miral Kimberly and staff, the cap
tains and officers of the war vessels in
port, the consular corps, ministers resi-
dent and attaches of the different nations
represented here and all the prominent
residents of Honolulu.
Dancing was kept up with great spirit
and zest. A generous collation. in the
room adjoining the ball room refreshed
the participants. The affair was in
every sense a success, and reflects credit
on all its promoters and particularly
upon the committees having the matter
in charge.
The following ladies and gentlemen
composed the committees of arrange
ments:

Female Help in Hawaii.

A New Zealand correspondent asks us
as follows regarding female service in
Honolulu: 'Is there any demand for gem
eral female servants or nurses; and, if so,
about what salary and what is the most
likely season to find employment" We
can only say that female domestic SER
wants have not been a success in Homo
lulu. partly owing to cheap Asiatic
help and partly because Of shortcom-
ings developed by white women
who have been tried. We could not ad-
wise anyone to come from New Zealand
10 take the chances here for domestic
employment; although, occasionally,
nurses and women for light house-work
are required. There is no particular
season.

The PoIynesian Woman.

The Polynesian woman is on the
whole fairly we'll treated. In the
uncivilized islands the woman is re-
garded as unworthy. She is not per-
mitted to eat her food with the males,
but must eat it in hut by herself.
A woman was even a term of re-
proach among most of the Polynes-
ians-at best they were termed
"noa," or common. Yet for all that
woman could attain to an honor
able position in the nation. The girl
among the higher classes was usu-
ally betrothed in infancy. AS she
grew up a railed-in platform high
enough to prevent her getting out,
or anyone getting in, was erected for
her in her parents house. Every
thing was done for her, and when
she went out for a walk she was al
ways accompanied by one of her
parents; SO that she had no chance
of being alone until she was mar
ried. This precaution was very need
full, for although the women after
marriage become true and faithful
wives, yet up to that time the utmost
license was allowed between the sexes
in some of the islands. The marriage
customs varied considerably from
the simple ceremony of throwing
piece of native cloth over the bride
by her lover, as IN the Sandwich
Islands, to the impressive ceremony
in Tahitian temple in the presence
of the skulls of the bride and bride
groom's ancestors, and which was
followed by great feast, with
dances, pantomine exhibitions, and
other amusements.-E Elk.

ing but strong will and persever-
ance will enable those addicted to it
to do the last. Rubbing the tips of
the fingers with aloes, extract of quas !.
STA, asafetida, or some other disa-
greeable substance, is commonly
adopted to remove the habit in chill

The finger-nails of Americans are
likely to be dry and break easily.
Vaseline rubbed on the nail after
washing the hands will do a world
of good to the nails. Manicures first
battle the hand a long time in hot
water, then with scissors and knives
clean and cut the nails, remove the
skin above the onyx;
next they polish the skin with buck
skin and fine powder, and finally
wash the hand again in hot water
with soap. After drying, the nails
are polished with a fine brush and
are rubbed with a rosy unguent to
give them shell pink.
