A FEMALE ASTR0L0GER.
SHE SAYS THE EX-QUEEN is
RELIGIOUS.
A Certificate Of Character From an I'm.
expected Source German Studies Of
Fallen Majesty.

Not long ago one of the royalist
organs said that Honolulu had female
white kahuna and minated, that, as
she worked the horoscopes # the anti
royalist people, the least said about the
"Queen's" kahunas the better for con-
sistency. Inquiry developed the fact
that the womans name is Wolff and
that she dresses hair for the "Queen"
and the public, and makes an extra
dollar as a fortune teller, teacher OF
languages to the eXSovere'gn,
and draper of the human form di-
vine. Miss Wolff lives on Beretania
street opposite the rear Of the hotel
she is a good looking blonde and
speaks like a person who has seen a
great deal of the world. Amusingly
enough instead Of being Provisional
serceror as the astute organ of the
busted monarchy would have the public
infer, she turns out to be one of Lllul
oakalanl's most intimate friends and
companions and staunch defender of
her eX-Majesty from all forms of crit.
csm and attack.
When the STAR reporter called upon
Miss Wolf, he found her angry.
There are spies continually parad-
ing before my house," said she, "and
| know l am the object OF suspicion.
If people come to see me, trust it is
.ay own business; and, as to fortune
telling, why, of course | do that, and |
trust have not been less successful
than the average But as for the
Queen asking for my advice, oItside
of my lessons to her in German, it is
simply absurd. see the Queen every
day sometimes twice day-and on
evenings | read to her when she is
wearied and tired so she cannot sleep.
"FAh, Miss Wolff the Queen has
said to me, if you only knew how |
am worried over these continued attacks
of the press on my character as a re-
ligicus woman. How is it that there are
many who still persist in sending me
kahunas in spite of my denials that
believe in themP Yes continued the
fortune.tcller, "the Queen is a truly
religious woman. She does not 90 to
church; no, indeed, there are too many
hypccrites there who have besmirched
her character and betrayed her conf
dence, but at home she INDUCES in
daily secret prayer and is firm be-
lever in a religion of the most ortho.
dox sort"
"But haven't you told her fortune
once ?" queried the reporter
"The Queen does not believe in it,
l tell you; she does not believe in it"
"But people say you do"

paper claimed some time ago, fluent
speaker, yet she can converse wonder.
fully WE'LL considering the short time
she has been studying. Some say"
and the fortune teller ratified on, "that
she has some connection with the
daily Holomua. That's another wrong
story, and she suffers greatly in mind
from this accusation. She told me
lately that she was still Queen, that she
had never abdicated, and that she
knew she would be replaced by Mr..
Blount.
Say, Miss Wolff" broke in the re.
porter seeing that she. was getting
away from the subject, "Isn't it ode
that the ex Queen, if she wanted to gel
away from the native kahunas and re-
tire to secret prayer, should have forth
with hired a white fortune teiler?"
That ended the interview, as Mis-;
Wolff intimated sharply that she hac
business elsewhere.
