CHRISTMAS CAROL
Exercises at Palama Cha
pei Last Night.
Interesting Program Rendered by
Sabbath School
Pupils.

Palama Chapel was a scene of merri-
tertainment for the children. Not a
seat in the place was vacant, and there
was such a demand for a view of the
exercises that the windows, doors and,
in fact, every available place, was oc-
cupied. There were at least three
hundred people present.
The little chapel was very prettily
decorated. Guarding the windows and
doors were waving palm leaves and
ferns of various kinds, while suspended
from the center was a large Hawaiian
flag looped in the middle.
The front part was devoted to the
stage where the exercises of the even
ing were presented to the audience.
This was in turn appropriately dec
GRATED. On the wall in letters of gold,
and surrounded by fern leaves were
the words Christ, the King"
Following was the excellent program

After the singing of the last anthem
several of the Kamehameha boys came
in with large trays of ice cream and
cake, which were not lost sight of by
anyone, the children not excepted.
The curtains of the stage were then
thrown back, and the Christmas tree
in the left hand corner, laden with its
strings of popcorn and lighted with
tapers was disclosed.
Then came the merry whispering and
chatting, one with the other, and all
the formality of the audience, inter
ested in the exercises of the evening
melted away.
The success of the Christmas enter
tainment at Palama Chapel was really
remarkable, for the little mission has
only been doing work since June. 1t
showed, however, what a field there is
for the work that it is doing. The
children of the locality who have been
gathered in gradually, and with great
willingness on their part, too, have
been made to feel that they were want
ed, and that their home was right
there; have been afforded teachings
along the proper lines for the develop
ments of their characters, and have
been shown what advantages exist for
them. All this has had its effect, and
last nights entertainment was just a
result of what has been done.
To Rev. J. NJ. Lewis and his able
corps of working assistants must needs
be due the thanks of every one in Pa
lama, and, in fact, in the city of Ho-
nolulu, for the grand work they are
accomplishing. 7

THE HOUSEHOLD.
THE SLENDER SLEEVE.
There is Lot of Style in the Slimness
of IT,

There is Lot of Style in the SIimness
of 1t.
There are hosts of new and dainty
adjuncts to both street and house
and house toilets for the beautifica-
ton of woman.
In sleeves there is an endless
variety of styles, all of which are
more or less bewitchingly lovely
and quite easily copied by one
whose fingers are clever.
The body Of all new sleeves is
snug at least, and generally quite
tight, with more or less wrinkles
extending from the elbow to the
shoulder decoration.
Occasionally we see an entirely
plain, tight sleeve, but they are
ugly and unbecoming; it will be a
matter of education with us before
we grow sufficiently accustomed to
them to like them. A draped
sleeve is chic, if we'll handled. A
pretty one, belonging to a stunning
gown of tobacco brown hOmespun,
has the wrinkled sleeve reaching to
the shoulder, over which is draped
a full breadth of deep toned brown
velvet, caught up into a snug knot
at the shoulder, with the ends fall
ing in soft jabot at the inner side
of the arm. This velvet drapery
is faced with turquoise blue taffeta,
which shows in dainty glimpses.
The wrist is finished in a deep
point, and has stiff plaitings of
creamy net standing out at either
side.
Another odd, smart sleeve, seen
on gown of black crepon, has a
snug body, falling over the hand in
a full flare, edged with triple
frill of black mousseline de sole.
At the top are two pointed tabs of
the crepon, stiffened and edged
with frills of the mousseline de sole.
AS to the matter of collars and
neck adornments, there are some
especially Patching things.
A ruche, composed of huge rose
pink crepe peoples attached to a
broad rose pink taffeta ribbon to
fasten in a full bow in the front, is
chic and dainty.

Hominy deserves more of a re
cognition among housekeepers than
has been granted it. 1t would
receive more had it not been so
often served but partially cooked
and imperfectly seasoned. 1t re
quires good deal of cooking,
especially the coarse hominy. The
finer kinds cook more quickly, but
easily become scorched. Either
kind should be soaked over night,
the water poured off in the morning
and fresh, cold water added. 1t
should be allowed to absorb all this
water instead Of being dipped from
it, as is often done.
Salt should be added as soon as
it is half done, for it is very I'M
palatable unless the salt is well
boiled into it. When cooked plain
it may be seasoned with pepper
and butter and a teaspoonful or two
of rich cream, with a sauce of
sweetened cream favored with nut
meg.
Cold hominy is very good for
serving a second time by cutting in
slices and frying it brown in pork
fat. 1t is also good made into cakes,
with little butter, an egg and
flour, and fried in hot butter.
To make hominy croquettes take
cupful of cold boiled hominy and
a teaspoonful each of sugar and
butter. Stir the mixture until it is
smooth paste, adding little milk
if necessary, and lastly add a well
beaten egg. Mix it with powdered
cracker crumbs, into which has
been stirred a teaspoOnful of baking
powder, and roll it into balls. Dip
each ball into beaten egg, then in
cracker crumbs and fry in hot fat
like doughnuts.
HOminy pudding is one Of the
most delicious of preparations if
carefully made. Put a oupful of
boiled hominy through a oqlandeF
while it is warm. Then add to it
two cups of milk, two teaspoOnfuls
of butter, two of white sugar, a
little salt and three eggs-the yolks
and whites beaten separately. Do
moi add the whites until the last
thing, after the other ingredients
have been beaten thoroughly to-
gether. Bake it in a buttered pud-
ding dish until it is firm and nicely
Drowned. Serve it with any sweet
Sauoa. i may also be served as q
vegetable without sauce.

String ties have almost pushed
the four in hand from the field; the
newest ones are a triie shorter and
perhaps quarter Of ali inch mar
rover.
Ascots and puffs are again re-
vived. A good way to tie an Ascot
is to tie it in a regular bow and
then pull the loops through and
fasten it with a scarf pin.
Brown shaggy mixtures and
plaids still continue to be the
heighth of fashion for material for
suits, but following in the wake OF
the craze for green this summer
this years stuff has a green thread
through it instead of the red one
used last season.
This seasons colored shirts fol
men are the most remarkable shown
yet. Some look exactly like wal
paper, others are in huge green and
red Tartan plaids, and still others
in the Persian effects. They are
not quiet to say the least, and
therefore, will not be chosen by the
more conservative dressers.
Fancy vests, especially those o
black, with small figure or dot O
color, are worn by some men; but
as it is only the thin end of the
wedge so far it remains to be seer
whether it will be driven home
AS they are so much in vogue
abroad, they, perhaps, will b'
adopted; but one drawback is thai
tailors hold them at such a high
figure as yet.
Men realize the fact that the
derby is the most geRtlemanly- look
ing hat. The attempt to make the
soft hat universally worn has been
a failure, and while the "Dr. JIM
hat, a broad brimmed soft black
felt, was much worn for cycling
this summer, and the gray one with
black band and telescope Crown is
worn by some very young men, as
a whole the derby is the best style
to have.

Useful Recipes,

SUGAR CANDY.-SiX cupfuls of
white sugar, one cup Of vinegar,
one cupful of water, one tablespoon
full of butter added last, one tea
spoonful of soda dissolved in hot
water. Boil until it hardens slightly
on the spoon.
SHoO FLY CAKE.-Line three pie
dishes with pie crust, then take
one cup of molasses, one cup of
boiling water and a teaspoon of
soda; pour this mixture in the pie
dishes; take four cups Of flour, one
cup of sugar, three fourths of a cup
of lard and cinnamon; rub this to-
gether into crumbs and put into
the mixture in the pie dishes, then
bake in a quick oven.
SWEET POTATO CREAMED.-Boil
the potatoes. When cool enough
peel and cut in half lengthwise,
then cut each half in three long
pieces. Place on a tin in a hot
oven, sprinkle with salt and put
two spoonfuls Of butter in the pan;
when they have been in a few
minutes pour over them a cupful
of sweet cream. When it is hot
pour the creamed potatoes into a
vegetable dish and serve.
SMILED EGGs.-Boil one dozen
eggs hard, cut same lengthwise in
halves, slicing a bit off the bottom
to make them stand. Extract the
yolks, rub to a smooth paste with
a little butter, melted, cayenne
pepper, a little mustard and a dash
of vinegar. Fill the followed
whites with this paste. Chop
crosses, season with pepper, salt,
vinegar and sugar. Spread same
about two inches thick on platter
and lay the eggs thereon in rotation.
Can use lettuce or cabbage instead
of crosses.
LEMON MERINGUE PUDDING
One quart of milk, two cups of
bread crumbs, four eggs, one hall
cup of butter, one cup of white
sugar, one large lemon, juice and
half the rind grated. Soak the
bread in the milk, add the beaten
yolks with the butter and sugar
rubbed to cream, also the lemon;
bake in buttered dish until firm
and slightly brown, then cover with
a meringue, made of the whites Of
the eggs beaten to a stiff froth and
three tablespoonful of powdered
sugar and q little lemon juice; set
in the oven and brown slightly, to
be eaten cold. An orange pudding
can be made the same way.

if your husband dies. L want a
financial system that will enable
your husband to leave to you more
than an insurance policy.
You tell me that you want q
financial system that will make
your policy as large as possible
when your husband dies. / tell
you that l want a policy of finance
that will enable you to enjoy the
life of your husband and not make
your enjoyment dependent upon
his death.
Now, as to the savings banks de-
posits. The men who deposit money
in savings banks usually deposit it
until they can find place to invest
it. AS a rule, the people who have
money deposited in savings banks
have more property outside of the
banks than they have money in the
banks, and the only way dollar
can fall in value is when property
is rising in value; and if a mans
property rises more than his depos-
its fall, he is gamer instead of a
loser. That is one way to look at it.
Another is this A savings bank
can only pay its depositors when its
assets ale collectible. Under the
gold standard, if you compel the
savings banks toforeclose mortgages
and take the farms and attempt to
turn these assets into money, you
will find that as the gold standard
progresses the savings banks will
become less and less secure, and in
stead of getting back your deposits
you will get nothing at all. because
the banks will not be able to collect
on their assets.

Altgeld's Peroration.
WILLIAM j. BRYAN
Chicago, Oct. %.

John p. Altgeld in closing his
great speech at New York said
My fellow citizens, if you do not
believe in the policy advocated by
these men, if you are not in favor
of converting this Republic into an
oligarchy, if you believe that this
country should at least be in part
governed by the men who toll, and
not solely and alone governed by
the men who devour the fruit that
others toll for, then rise in your
manhood, stand out in the sun, and
before the Almighty declare, as did
the fathers over hundred years
ago, that we are not only a free but
that we are an independent people.
Declare that the time has not yet
come when this country must be
made financial dependency upon
England, that the experiment of
twenty odd years of having the
worlds business done on a single
gold standard has been a failure,
that it has covered the earth with
misery and distress, and that it
must be brought to an end. Stand
up and declare that this country
must return to that standard Of
prices which had been the worlds
standard through all the centuries
that have passed; that standard
under which the foundations of this
Republic were laid, under which
we grew great and mighty and be
came the most powerful people of
the earth; that standard under
which everything that is great,
grand and glorious in the world to-
day was created; that standard upon
which this wonderful civilization of
the nineteenth century rests.
Declare yourselves to be in favor
of that policy under which the
minis shall again be opened to
both of the metals, so that there
will be an end of this destructive
fall in prices; so that prudent men
will again feel that it is safe to go
into business or embark in new en-
terprises. Declare in favor of an
American policy, which will result
in instantly inducing intelligent
and enterprising men to open up
new fields of industry, which will
at once create a demand for all
kinds of labor, all kinds Of skill
and for all kinds of talents. Our
fathers made a declaration of indie
pendence, and there followed cen
fury of the grandest development
ever known upon the earth. Ifyou
believe in the institutions of the
fathers and in perpetuating them,
then go to the polls on the 3rd OF
November and make a new declara
ton, and there will follow another
century which. in grandeur and
glory, and in achievement and the
blessings to be showered upon man
kind, will surpass the century that

A STANDING INVITATION

Women suffering from any form of fe-
male weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk of her
private illness to a woman; thus has
been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume of ex-
perience which she has to draw from it
is more than possible that she has
gained the very knowledge that will
help your case. She asks nothing in
return except your good will, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Surely
any woman, rich or poor, is very fool
ish if she does not take advantage of
this generous offer of assistance.

confided to competent hands. But
often the tender little bodies are
