CHAPTER XXI.
When George Wentworth h received this
message he read it several times over
before its full meaning dawned upon
him. Then he paced up and down his
room ard gave way to his feelings. His
best friends, who had been privileged
TO hear Georges vocabulary when he
was rather angry. admitted that the
young man had n flucncy of expression
whicn was very much more terse than
proper. When the real significance of
the dispatch became apparent TO him.
George outdid himself in this particular
line. Then he realized that, however
consolatory such language is to a very
angry man, it does little good in any
practical way. He paced silently up and
down the room, wondering what he
could do, and the more he wondered
the less light he saw through the fog.
He put on his hat and went into the
other room.

You are right" said George. "Of

w. w. DIMOND.

We have been sitting on
the ragged edge of a damp
cloud for the past tWOWeekS,
contemplating the result in
the event of the non-arriVal
of the S. @. Wilder, with our
cut glass ware and other ar
tiCleS which we had selected
for the holiday trade. Yes
terday the tension on our
nervous system relaxed; the
Wilder arrived and twenty
four hours after this goes
into print, we will have a
display of fine goods on our
counters, such as never was
seen here before.
The additional space re-
quired has been obtained by
doubling up on our show
counters, making new ones
and changing around some
of the old ones on the second
floor. We're ready for busi-
ness and the number of sales
of holiday goods we have
made during the past three
weeks constants us to be-
lieve that the business is
ready for us.
By the Wilder we have all
kinds of things suitable for
Christmas gifts. Many of
them are in cut glass, and
they comprise: SaucerS, Salac
Rose Bowls, Pickle
Jars, Butter Tubs and Plates,
Ice Cream Trays, DecanterS,
Lemonade Sets, Individual
Oils, Tumblers, Individual
Buffers, CreamerS, Smelling
Salts and half a hundred
other things.
Then there are Chatting
Dishes in more than a dozen
styles. Literary, Hall and
Piano Lamps, Crepe Paper
and Silk Shades and
Onyx Tables.

teHtion until the end The subject was
the Best Food for the Best Bodies.
The lecturer stated that the body was
being constantly renewed, and its meth
cd of repair was by the food taken into
it. Food supplied the waste material,
the heat and strength Of the body. The
question of scientific food was being
largely considered in Europe and
America. and cooking schools were to
be found in nearly every city. Regu-
laTity with regard 10 eating was most
essential TO health
The process of digestion was de-
scribed as witnessed upon an Hungar-
ian woman patient in Prof. Bilrotte's
clinic in Vienna. Hurried meals were
strongly condemned. DR.. Ryder said
that the Buddhists, Mexicans and
Brahmins were vegetarians, and she
had no hesitancy in saying that the
people in this warm climate would
have better health if they would de-
crease materially the amount of meat
eaten. Many persons suffered from not
taking a sufficient amount of moisture
into the system. She advocated a drink
made from grape juice as we'll as other
fruits.
At the close of the lecture a number
of written questions that had been
handed in by members of the audience
were read and answered. one of these
being: rs DR.. Ryder Theosophist, as

season tickets amounted to about ST.
000-something unprecedented, l am
told, for Honolulu-and gratifying to
me. When 1 first came here l thought
if l could get a guarantee of one-half
the $1,000, which our expenses would
amount to, that we would be willing to
assume the other half. We expect
ed to lose money, you understand, but
we wanted to come out whole, if pos
sible.
you know the result of the engage
ment. We have had crowded houses
at every performance, and twice played
to standing room only, and we stopped
selling seats in the gallery when 1.-The
Ensign was produced, at z o'clock.
Our receipts that night were the larg-
est ever played to since the company
was organized over a year ago.
What effect do l think the engage
ment will have? Why, l believe there
will be no trouble now to extend our
season five weeks in the year and pro-
duce plays in Honolulu. l believe, al
so, that companies coming West, or
those stopping in San Francisco en-
route to Australia, will be willing to
come down on the local steamer and
wait over for the through boat, and
give performances in the interval. Our
success with the Frawley Company has
been so satisfactory that l have no
doubt other managers will be persuad-
ed to bring down companies. The re-
suit of our engagement cOnvinceS me
that Honolulu is a good show town.
The only proofs we will offer other
companies will be our receipts for roy
alties we will pay to the owners of the
plays we have produced, and these
will amount to about $500. There's no
going behind those returns, for we will
not pay percentage on more than our
receipts. No, we are not obliged by
law to pay these royalties, but our
firm is an honorable one, and we do
not care to make money on the brains
of other people, and not pay them for
it, simply because the copyright law
does not include the territory in which
we play.
cit is my intention to bring Corinne
and her company of SO people here next
May. They can play here while waiting
for the through steamer, and they will
produce all the light operas. I think,
too. I can get John Drew and Maude
Adams to come down before they sep
arate. Everybody knows what these
companies are and the people here can
rely upon seeing good performances.
am quite sure our success here will
have a great influence on other COM
panies-the Frawleys, of course, have
a reputation which extends from New
York to San Francisco, and on our re-
turn to the Coast managers will be
anxious to know what we have done
OF course, they know what DAILY did
when he was here, but DAILY is not
FrawIey, and our receipts for royal
ties paid will be all that is necessary
to convince them Of the possibilities
of Honolulu as a show town. The
members of our company have enjoyed
their trip immensely, and are 10th to
leave. They have seen all the sights,
and everything is to them new and
novel. We will come again next year,
and play about the same length en-
gagement that we played this time"

GOOD SHOW TOWN
Melville Marx ofthe FraW.
1eys' Says of Honolulu.
Expected They Would Lose Money
But Business Has
Been Good.

When we were asked to come down
here" said Melville Marks of the Fraw
ley management, I'VE canvassed the
matter on the basis of losing $1,000.
My firm talked the matter over with
Mr.. Frawley, and it was with this I'M
Outstanding that we came down.
Thanks to the newspapers in Ho-
noIulu there was ample notice Of the
performances to be given by our com
pany, and the first day of the sale Of
