FRIVOLLING WITH CURIOS
The Friday Morning Club Revels in a
Display Of Strange Things
Dozen Short Papers by Different Members
Explain the Interesting Objects
Shown

Yesterday was curio day at the Friday
Morning club. Curios were everywhere.
Some of them we've unique, some very
rare and some sui generis. Mrs. M. Bur-
ton Williamson. Mrs. Frank Virgins and
Miss Casey had charge OF the day; they
used the curios as part of their decora-
tion. and the consequence was that lnuia,
the Vale of Cashmere, the Hawaiian is
lands, Samoa, Marshall isla nds and other
more or less remote countries were repre-
sented whichever way one looked.
There were draperies. and spears, and
fish hooks, tables covered with all kin ds
of curious things, and one of the finest
specimens there was priceless Spanish
veil 100 years old, belonging to Mrs. Cen
eral Houghton. About dozen very
short papers were read describing the
specimens. as follows: Mrs. Thompson.
on the Hawaiian; Miss Cornelius Cole.
Alaskan; Mrs. L. Swain. American In
dian.
Mrs. Charles Dwight Willard exhibited
a rare old book OF sermons written by
one of her ancestors, and Mrs. Mary h.
Bowman produced lost book OF the
Bible.
Mrs. Jessie Waterman spoke on colonial
curios. Mrs. Joy, en- curious woods.
winch Sne illustrated with u caDlueJ Haue
of thousands of bits. Miss Fette gave a
little chat on peasant jewelry over 200
years old.
Mrs. J. A. Osgood's contributions were
a very old American flag and other fami
ly relics. Mrs. Frank Virgins paper dealt
with the subject in general. although she
dwelt somewhat on the valuable curios to
be found in Southern California and the
islands of the Pacific near at hand.
Miss Casey explained the interest at
tachlng to the Spanish veil and other
curios sent by Mrs. Houghton, and
spoke in detail of bobbin lace made early
IN the century.
1t was most interesting morning,
the assem- bly, room was crowded as usual,
and the odd and unusual things about
lent an air of unwonted animation and
frivolity to the scone.

CHIEFLY FOR ECONOMY.
THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.
An Interesting Announcement for Oul
Readers.

We have secured for the exclusive use
OF the Record-Union a series of arti-
cles on the Sandwich Islands by the dis
tinguished historian and novelist, John
| K Musick. These articles are being
prepared by the author on the spot. He
is now at Honolulu, and will visit each
of the islands of the Hawaiian group.
| They will have the peculiar living
freshness that can only be given to such
when written at the place on the very
days the writer beholdS them. They
will be a series of descriptive and his
tcrical articles, or letters about that
country. Mr. Musick will furnish us,
| therefore articles rich in descriptive
scenery, filled with authentic history
and facts, and lightened by incidents of
travel and adventure, making them
more fascinating than a novel.
No portion of the world is to-day at
tracing more attention than the Sand
wich Islands; and yet, much as they
are talked about and much as they
have been mixed in American politics
for the last forty years, the masses of
readers know but little of the social life
and customs of the islanders, and could
not tell off-hand whether they lived in
modern houses, in huts, wigwams or
caves.
1t will be the object of these letters
not only to briefly sketch the past and
present of the Hawaiian Islands. but
to carry the reader directly into the
private life of the people who inhabit
them; their past and present Govern
ment, the overthrow of monarchy and
the setting up of a republic will be
narrated from a non-political stand
point. In this respect they will have a
peculiar interest, because in the COM
ing Presidential contest the question of
annexation VIII be agitated. These
letters will contain hundreds of items
of great interest, all told in a highly
entertaining, instructive and unbiased
manner. In short, we have rich treat
for our readers for the entire winter.
Get your neighbors and friends else
where to subscribe for the Record
Union. The articles atSne will be
worth much more than the subscription
price of this paper. Then always re-
member these letters are exclusives; no
other paper in this vicinity can furnish
them They are for the Record Union
and Weekly Union.
