OF more Importance than the elegance of

one in bad temper should be allowed, is

Some people inherit. or pick up in inter
teresting ways, old mahogany or cherry
furniture for their dining rooms In effect
these woods are far and away richer than
oak and the lighter cOlored woods, about
which there is a too-shIny newness. Black
walnut Is to be restored TO full favor. and
very soon, justly enough. In this room
should be the largest fireplace the .s0lse
boasts. with broad, natural wood man
tel. high backed wooden settle should
be by this fireplace; the settle carved, pre-
sumably, by the hostess or her artistic
daughter.
Then there should be a quaint corner
cupboard homemade and hand-caryed
preferably for the bits of old, old china
and cabinet for your cut glass and choic-
est modern china. On a very narrow shelf
or moulding, just above the wainscoting
edged with a narrow grill work of wood,
the salad set, dessert service or the col
lection of Delft may be arranged, with the
same satisfaction as the cotter's Wife ar
ranges her bits of pottery on her plate
rack-and with the same security like
wise, the grill work preventing the china
from tObogganing to the floor.
This same idea, by the way, have seen
carried out with good effect in the library
of a woman indisputably artistic. There
was a length of the molding or shelving
betweeni two windows, a longer one from
one side Of the fireplace angle 10 the cor
nez' of the room. ani another in another
corner On these narrow holdings were
arranged, with excellent taste a collection
OF Indian pottery, a few rare books and
prints, and one or two small paintings
pictures in which there was infinite detail,
the beauty OF which would have been lost
had the paintings been hung.

Miss Sarah Farmer, from Maine, was
one of the most beautiful of the women
present. Tall, of commanding presence,
having a face where beauty of feature
blends with the beauty of expression;
gowned always in soft gray and white.
Miss Farmer is the very personifcation of
womanliness. She was one of the originat-
ors of the idea which eliminated in that
remarkable congress of religions at the
worlds fair. And each summer since then,
under the trees near her home, there has
gathered a smaller number who in the
same spirit have discussed the things of

Her English accent lends a quaint force to
her earnestness and matches well with the
healthy glow that Northern England has
painted upon her cheeks.

a variety of interests and of taleut-aud
yet bound tightly together by the small
white ribbon they each and all wear, these
women form a powerful sisterhood. Rep
resenting the Scandinavian work was Miss
Kate Lunden, a sensible, practical little
woman who spoke rapidly and earnestly.
From England came Miss Mary Phillips,
woman of Independent fortune, a quaint

INDICATOR Of OPIUM
COLLECTOR GENERAL DESCRIBES
THE THERMOMETER.
Smugglers Still Bothersome-Mr. Cas-
tie on Nacation-Asiatic Colonies
of the Islands.
(San Francisco Chronicle.)

Among the guests at the Occidental
is j. b. Castle, Collector-General of
Customs at Honolulu. He arrived from
the islands on the steamer China on
Sunday, and he expects to spend some
time in this country for the benefit OF
his health. He has filled his present
position for three and half years
without vacation, and he intends
now to enjoy IA respite from his lab
ors.
II think | am in need of some win
ter weather." he said yesterday, and
| shall erdeavor to find t in the Rock
les or the Selkirks.'
Mr.. Castle says that in spite of all
precautions and care, his office still
has to contend with opium smugglers.
Whenever opium is cheap in the is
lands he knows that considerable
smuggling is going on, and whenever
the price of the drug advances he
knows there is a lull i'm the SNUG
Cling business. The status of the mar
ket, he said, is generally the best
means of determining how much
smuggling is going on.
Collector Castle says the Japanese
and Chinese population of the Islands
is not increasing at the rate generally
supposed. There were 1900 more ar
rivals than departures of japanese
during the past year, and the Chinese
population is still under 10000.
