Hawaii Our Natural Outpost of Defense.

Hawaii Our Natural Outpost of Defense.
With Great Britain once in pos
session of the Sandwich Islands, the
key of the North Pacific will never be
ours, except as the prize of a successful
war. That great territory gets
what it can, and keeps what it gets,
However obtained, territory that is
useful to England commercially or
strategically is never philanthropi-
cally relinquished. In Hawaii the
story of Gibraltar would be repeated
at our expense. For a century, for
two centuries perhaps, we would
look across the water from our
Western coast to this British strong
hold, as Spain looks from San
Rogue to Gibraltar. Shall there be
established with our acquiescence
another Bermuda in the Pacific, to
match the Bermuda of the Atlantic
and to complete the hostile Gordon
around this republic?
To England, Hawaii would be an
immensely valuable link IN the cham
that binds her empire. The islands
are the first and most important
station between the western terminus
of her great military railroad, the
Canadian Pacific, and both Aus
tralia and India. To us, Hawaii is
the natural outpost in the Pacific of
America S system of national defense,
the safeguard of Americas western
commerce in the twentieth century,
the station of our warships, and the
refuge of our merchant marine. Will
England hesitate if she gets the
chance? Not an instant. But shall
she have the opportunity which cir
cumstance, for once in close accord
with natural right, national policy
and manifest destiny, brings first
to us?- New York Sun,

Mate Leroy Declares That Woman Should
Use Artificial Aids of Various Kinds to
Enhance Her Beauty and Thus Get Male
Admiration Under Fictitious Conditions.

1t has long been question as to whether
It IL right or wrong for ladies to use paint
or powder, to dye their hair or make their
eyebrows darker than nature intended
them, and the question is IA far from being
definitely settled now AZ ever before; hut,
pending the full decision. full benefit ia
taken of the doubt.
In these days it does not mean that a
woman is without the pale of good society
who makes up" her face Just as she would
put on her evening attire She realizes
that she needs little more color and adds
adeft touch. That makes her eyes look hol-
low-she must put II little cosmetic around
them and on her eyebrows That renders
it necessary to apply something that shall
make the skin appear whittier, and also
something is needed to blend in with the
color on the cheeks so that the dividing
line will not be visible, and so she puts on
powder IL she is sensible cream if she
IL reckless, and that makes the lips appear
red enough in contrast. No one who I'M
derstands herself puts rouge on her lips.
The rest passes, but that does not, and only
cakes and leaves little pink spots over the
natural color
A little rouge, II little cosmetic and a lit
tie powder are all proper and suitable ad-
juncts to II full dress evening costume, and
no one thinks of decrying it. But the true
lady draws the line, and that closely, about
appearing in church or in the street with
any artificial coloring on her face.
At ball or other social gathering women
are expected to look their very hest, and
men 20 expecting us "A right that all the
women present shall he pretty, and it seems
to me right that any woman should for her
