Humpty Dumpty, once undone they
could not be put together again.
The first correct answer was received
from Idzui, Japanese girl on Nuuanu
street, and within few minutes Com
missioner Marsden sent his. He was
spoken to last night regarding the So
luton. While feeling that the girl
should have the car ride, he believes
he is entitled to it, because he solved it
and was on his way to the Office with it
when he met colony of lady birds,
which engaged his attention while the
girl went under the wire. Mr.. Marsden
has been satisfied, however, and the day
the electric car line starts he will han

The convention of school
teachers will close next
week and then there will be
an exit to the other islands.
During their stay here the
teachers have learned some
thing outside the four walls
of the High School. They
have read our ADVERTISE
mentS and learned where to
go when fine quality goods,
at cheap goods prices are
wanted. When they go
back to their homes on the
other islands, they will take
with them a years supply Of
dry goods, because the saw
ing will pay them to lay in a
stock.

FOR COOKING RICE.

MY family will not eat rice" said
one housekeeper to another, as they
were comparing menus the other day.
| Il wish they would, but there is no use
J in offering it to them any more
| my family do not take very kindly
| to boiled rice said the other, except
| with fricasse chicken, but 1 ring the
changes on other rice dishes much to
their liking. The plain cold rice pud-
ding, with few raisins, is made every
Saturday during the hot weather, and
is one of our most popular dishes at
Sunday night tea, which meal it invari-
ably graces. Rice cups, which are plain

turned out after a couple of hours or
longer they would not eat per Sc, but
served with strawberry sauce, or with
raspberries poured around each and
with whipped cream it is a much es-
teemed desert. A rice charlotte is an
other idealized dish of the cereal that
insures it a warm reception. This is
made with two tablespoonfuls of rice
boiled in a quart of milk in double
boiler, the whites of three eggs added
after it is taken from the stove, the
mixture then poured in a mold that has
been lined with lady fingers. 1t is

Il have found that a family has to be
managed. and if little pains be taken
they can be managed without their sus-

are not very fond they will eat at lun-
cheOn, which seems to be their hun
griest meal-a note 1 pass on for the

The Grecian waist is coming, accord

Have you ever made study of sigma
lures? 1 do not mean merely the names
which you should scrutinize with the
detective eyebrows of a cashier, but the
whole ending of a letter, which you
should look at as a genial tourist would
inspect epitaphs or historical relics
Have you ever done that, 1 say? It's
quite worth while, 1 assure you. At
first you would observe the curt extreme
of business, indicating little time or de-
sire for more than Yours, or Yours
Truly, or, in important letters, Yours
Respectfully. These expressions merely
serve as buffers between the letter and
the name, which would otherwise come
suddenly upon the reader with a con-
siderable shock.

A real letter is wider revelation of
human life, it seems to me, that even
acquaintance, unless it be intimate. The
writer of real letters dashes off what
he feels at the moment, with no attempt
at fine writing or close thinking, and
the feeling is likely to be more genuine
than in finished prose. What a group
of letter writer's the world has for US
Madame de Sevigne, Scott, Byron, Shell
ley, Macauley, Mrs. Carlyle, Matthew
Arnold and Fitzgerald may be put at the
head of the list. What charming
glimpses we have of Thackeray in his
letters. and of Phillips Brooks in his
correspondence. A simplicity prevails
in all of these letters that refreshes us,
a directness that we sometimes miss
in more ambitious writing, and an eph-
emeral quality that suggests the odor
of dried rose-leaves. SIBYL.

Above all my other dislikes is my
aversion for the man or woman who
subscribes himself thus: Il am, Sir,
yours, etc" What more insulting, con-
descending, irritating, insinuating ex-
preston can you imagine? Yours, ETC.!
1t implies that the writer cannot take
the trouble to select a fitting word to
end his sheet. 1t breathes to me of scorn
and snobbishness and hostility. Yours,
etc. It's exasperating. [ sometimes see
a certain English journal that contains
much excellent matter, but 1 am irri-
tated beyond measure by the whole pa
per simply because of the fiippant sig
natures, which read, every last one of
them, Il am, Sir, yours, etc" For my

Between this extreme and the gush-
ing adjectives and adverbs of young Ia
dies in their intimate correspondence
there is a long and delicately shaded
list of expressions. Each of these
phrases comes up to be used as fitness
demands it. A fitting signature is bit
of lf-satisfaction-it is delicate COM
pIiment to our peculiar temperament
or condition, and the whole letter leaves
with you delightful impression if the
ending is personal and characteristic.
Some people never take the trouble to
break to us gently the news of the ap-
preaching end of letter. The end is
abruptly proclaimed when we get there
by a meaningless Yours Truly, that
might be applied to anybody and every
body.

For the benefit of over-conscientious
souls who fear to betray undue warmth
in their closing remarks, let me say that
the easy-going Yours Sincerely is good,
but implies some need of propping up
your genuineness. Yours Cordially is
somewhat patronizing. Yours Lovingly
presupposes intimacy and affection, but
Yours Affectionately is quite safe; it
merely indicates the disposition of the
writer, not her feeling for the recipi-
ent of the letter. 1 once had a letter
from Florence Oakum, who, in her de-
sire not to mislead me by professions
of friendship she did not feel, wrote
somewhat vaguely, 81 am ever Florence
Oakum." l have often wondered what
cynic might say if she were to become
Mrs. Beecham.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
ChiIdren's School Outfits.

The subject of school clothes for
children is one that every mother
finds it necessary to struggle with
much more frequently than she
would prefer could she have her
own way about it. 1t is one of the
astonishing things in life how
rapidly the youngsters grow, and
how soon the garments provided
for them become useless. In making
up children's clothes, it is a com
paratively easy matter, if one takes
sufficient thought, to so arrange
them that they can be enlarged
and let down against the time of
need. This is particularly so with
girls clothes. Boys are less diff
cult to manage, but even they may
be thus provided for against the
coming season, if the house mother
has the proper faculty of planning
her garments to the best advantage.
The present style of dress for little
girls, with yoke and full sleeves, is
extremely convenient in view of
future engagements. The yoke
and cuffs are usually made of con-
trasting fabric, and these may he
renewed with larger ones, which
settles the question of size in the
most satisfactory manner. Skirts
may always be let down; indeed, it
is poor economy to make ordinary
dresses for school girls without
provision for extra length.
Alllittle girls should wearaprons,
and these are now made in such
pretty styles that they are becoming
and add much to the prettiness of
school costume. Dimity, percale,
linen lawn and other similar fabrics
are appropriate for better aprons,
while Bingham, and print are use
full for ordinary wear.

A Paradise for Housekeepers.

Americans, with characteristic
modesty, are prone to think they can
give points on every subject under
the sun, to every nation under the
sun; but there are some subjects
about which they can advantage
ously take points from their anti
podal friends "the Americans of
the East" as the japanese have
been facetiouSly called. For in
stance, in housekeeping. To be
sure, in the japanese household
there are numerous servants; but
such servants! "Life in Japa-
nese Bungalow" published in the
May number of Demorest's Maya
zine, gives an account of an Ameri-
can woman's housekeeping ex-
perience in Japan which makes
the reader wish that the system

could not be cornered without de-

If gold had been demonetized in
stead of silver the gold in dollar
would be worth less than fifty cents.
If gold were not used as money at
