OF course, we expect to have
some gossip over this tea table, for
are we not all sad gossips, we of
Honolulu =? Kate Field has said
so. Moreover, she has proclaimed
it,,abroad. But, just between our
selves, we knew it before she came
here, didn't we =? And we have
many a time condemned tin
others.
But you rarely gossip, of course
And [? Why, | can't talk about
Honolulu people. We are pretty
much all one family anyway, and
we show our love in our curiosity |
Seriously, when a certain engage
ment eliminates in a wedding
ring, / shall be related to half of
Honolulu.
However, / do not admit that all
personals" are malicious or even
Objectionable. A spirit of kind
ness will discern wheat from tares
in news-mongering crops.
Here are my four rules for Cos
sips
/. Be absolutely sure you are
right before you go ahead.
2. Be sure your news will harm
no ones reputation, not even your
own, before you go ahead.
3. Be sure that your thought is
entirely for the welfare of the COM
munity in passing on any bad
"they says" and don't go ahead.
4. If you are in tram car talk
about Turkey, or the moon, or even
the United States; never about a
resident of Hawaii nei.
Now I will play the harmless
tattler, but shall go far away for
my subjects.
Women are we'll talked about;
suppose we gossip about some of
them whose ears are tingling even
now.
In England there is a woman
auctioneer, twenty-three years old,
who for seven years has been sue
oessful with the hammer. Her
name does not signify. Brum-
magem was the theater in which |
she made her debut. Now she
travels about the country and does
not display any light-under-the-
bushel modesty. Not she, and so
she succeeds in that profession.
Near Shamokin are four buxom
sisters who might be pardoned for
wearing bloomers-if they did wear
them They are miners, these four
girls, and the oldest is but twenty.
But they are of German descent,
and conservatively feminine in
clothing, if robustly mannish in
occupation. So they wear short
skirts when they operate a coal
mine under their fathers direction.
What few small children can be
spared from the mine, help the
mother of this family, who runs the
farm at homeD Our four strap
ping young women are shapely and
pretty. They are veritable Amazons
in fighting to wrest a fortune from
old Mother Earth.
A certain other young woman of
twenty-three has a fortune in COWS
and horses in Monterey county,
California. Furthermore she is as
valiant vaquero as any man
could be. She is not only daring
rider, a shrewd business-woman
and a skilful all-around ranch
man, but she is also a charming
young woman, accomplished as
well as gifted.
AS child she had no use for the
side-saddle, and since those early
days has rarely ridden with one.
Before the arrival of the divided
skirt, she invented a short full
skirt, perfectly plain in front, that
was graceful for both walking and
riding, clever girl!
The western states in our neigh
boring republic are in an evolu-
tionary stage, thence to emerge a
paradise of new women. Already
