of the roof gardens 50 frequently that she
decided to Investigate. The garden scheme
itself impressed her favorably, but its en-
vironment was a tiifle too boisterous: so
she decided TO Improve upon it and have
one to suit herself.
At the rear of her house large wing
has been added, Which extends nearly
through the block and reaches to the
third story. On two sides it is inclosed by
the walls OF adjoining buildings, but the
other two sides are unobstructed, and
give fair play for all the Zephyrs that may
be lowering in the neighborhood 1t was
upon the roof Of the wing that { he future
manager decided to build her roof garden.
Work was begun on it without delay.
First doorway was cut through from 4
sIeeping-room, which faced upon 1t. The
door was concealed behind a light por-
tierc of bamboo, a tiny lantern was swung
from the easement, and the approach to
the garden was complete.
Next q railing was built around the
two exposed sides, and light canvas
awning in red and white stripes stretched
from tile roof OF the adjoining house and
supported by .baInboo poles at the cor
ners. A japanese mating Of Oriental
pattern was used TO hide the tin roof, and
over 1t were scattered rich rugs from the
drawing room below.
The ratings We're hidden behind rows
OF palms and plants, and in and around
them We're swung as many quaint old
lanterns as could be found in a search
through Chinatown. Underneath the wn-
ing, suspended from wire strings, more
Chinese lanterns and fairy lamps were
hung, and under them were swung hau-
mocks, draped with Bagdad rugs; in the
cool, secluGed corners We're placed steamer
chairs, covered with rare stuff that the
roof garden manager had picked up abroad.
The other furniture consisted OF ban boo
diyans, where the guests might laziiy flop
down and congratulate themselves that
they were there.

serve either as tea tables or for pipes and

suit is natural expression. Learn the
author" they say, land you can then in
terpret MIN: study life around you and
you win comprehend emotion, quicken the
Imagination and you can touch your audi

One of the leaders of this movement and
one OF the best eXponents OF this natural
method is Mr S. Fl. Clark, of the University
Of Chicago. He holds the highest standards
for the selection of literature and the
highest aims for its Interpretation. In his
public readings he shows that the artistic
reader Is the actor away from all acCesso-
lies or costume and scenery, depending en- :
tireiy upon his voice, ndividIal Imagination
and personal magnetism to produce illu-
sions and effects upon the minds and emo
tions OF his audience His great axiom is:
III the thought is right the expression will
be right and conversely, 'If the expression
Is wrong the Thought has been wrong -
Into his work and the methods that he and
the other exp5nents of the new teaching
advocate many intellectual qualities and
much technical training are involved. 4

gence is first required as q basis As the
good reader must be an interpreter OF the
author he must have q certain amount OF
critical perception; must understand the
exact shade and meaning OF every word;
must have clear, elegant and distinguish
dpronunciation, and must develop his mu

rhythm in prose and poetry. Again he must
pay attention to the posture of the body
and stand before his audience with quiet
ease, grace and self-command

AT CENTRAL UNION CHURCH.
Review of Past Two Years and
Outline of Future Work.

Rev. Douglas p. Brine has been
pastor of the Central Union Church
just two years this week. Yesterday
morning he preached an anniversary
sermon, taking for his text John 20:21
Jesus therefore said again, peace
even so send 1 you" The sermon did
not specify what work had been ac-
complished during Mr.. Birnie's pastor
ate here, other than from a statistical
point of view, when it was necessary
to state the amount of money spent
during the past two years, TO enumer-
ate the gifts to the church or to give
the number of new members. 1t was
not the preachers purpose to separ-
ate the spiritual existence of the
Church into periods.
Mr. Brine interpreted the scriptural
idea of the Church TO mean body of
men and women, united and under
commission to do and to be certain
things. They are bound together by a
covenant and a confession of faith.
Although often there are many diff
ferent opinions and views held, yet
these do not operate TO divide the in
terests, as the members all have one
common faith and believe in the one
Father and head of the Church. 1t is
for this reason that the covenant OF
the Central Union Church is very
short and exacts but few specific dut-
les. The details of the spiritual life and
duty are to be decided by the indi-
vidual consciences of the members OF
the Church.
Mr.. Birnie said that the Central
Union Church could best be called ar
Independent Evangelical Church. II
has no formal connection with any de-
nomination. It's field is the Hawai-
ian Islands. In his review of the
past two years Mr.. Birnie said that 12S
new members had been added. The
gifts to the Church were spontaneous
Some of them were a surprise: the
new lots adjoining the Church and the
Palama Chapel, for instance. Only 81
per cent of the income has been spent
for self-maintenance. The remaining
30 per cent has been spent outside the
Church This does not include the
gifts of the members to the Hawaiian
Board, the Y. NJ. c. A, or the Kinder
garten.
The work of the future was outlined
I by Mr. Brine. He dwelt at some
length upon what could be accomp
lished along the lines of parish work
of preaching, of teaching and of wor

who confines most of his efforts to the
limits of Chinatown. Either the Chi
naman did not understand that he had
been arrested or he was slow in COM
plying with the commands of the Of
ficer, a practice which many have al
ready INDUCED in. However. it is a
fact that the man was assisted into
the street most forcibly by the aid of
his queue. Whether this was for the
sake of convenience or otherwise has
not been ascertained by the public,
but should be by the authorities.

CHANGES TONIGHT.
Additional Attractions at the Bris.
toll Horse Show.

The matinee performance at the Pa
vilion on Saturday was tremendous
success. The hall was more crowded
even than on the first night, and the
children were delighted with the en-
tertainment. The hall was fairly well
filled during the evening.
Professor Bristol has completed ar
rangements whereby a troupe of I'm
perial Japanese acrobats and jugglers
will appear in conjunction with the
educated horses The acrobatic per-
Torrance will be given between the
acts. The Hawaiian Quintette Club
will furnish music at each perform
ance.
AS an additional inducement, and
in order that every one will have an
opportunity to see this aggregation,
the prices have been reduced to 20
and so cents, the higher price for the
reserved seats. There will be grand
parade today, in which Professor Bris-
toll will drive his celebrated pure white
Arabian horse Eagle" without reins
or bride.

OF every merchant to please his GUS

The plated spoons and
forks made by the Holmes
& Edwards Silver Company,
cannot be distinguished from
solid silver, except in weight.
The patterns are identical
with the solid goods, and the
bowls and handles are rein
forced with sterling silver,
SO that those parts of the
spoons which come in con-
tact with the table are well
protected and will last as
long as solid ware. Every
piece sold by us is guaran-
teed by the manufacturers,
by this certificate:
''We guarantee these goods in ordinary
family service TO wear Twenty-Five Years,
and in hotels from Ten to Fifteen Years.
We also agree to accept as half payment,
such goods as show wear during next five
years after the term of guarantee, if o'her-
wise in good order F"
In buying these inlaid
goods you practically have
the use of them for thirty
years at half what you origi-
nally pay for them. No other
manufacturers give such a
guarantee: no other manu-
faCturer can afford tC.
We believe we have the
largest stock of cutlery in
Honolulu, and it is from the

substitute for ivory handles
and the effect is very pretty.
Bone handles turn yellow,

smoking Meat without Fir..

IL may sound absurd to make state
ment about smoking meat without q fire"
for IL is a well known saying that where
there is smoke there must be fire." The
advance Of science, however, has made
this idea obsolete, and today with the use
of Krausers' Liquid Extract of Smoke il is
possible to quickly, economically and sue
cessfully smoke meat without a fire. This
liquid extract is made by distilling the
smoke from hickory wood and is absolutes
ly harmless. In fact, meat smoked by this
method has genuine smoke flavor, re-
mains moist and soft, and is not infested
with insects. Every objection of the old
method is overcome, every trouble ended
and the unsightly and dangerous smoke
house is thing Of the past. Krausers'
Liquid Extract of Smoke long ago passed
the age of experiment, and thousands are
using it today with profit and satisfaction.
BY writing +. Krauser a. Bro, Milton, Pa,
those who are interested can secure free of
charge instructive printed matter about
methods Of curing and smoking all kinds
of meats.

No wonder women weep. The wonder Is
that they are not oftener in tears for all they
have to bear and suffer and the saddest
thing about il is how little their sufferings
are understood. Even the doctor, nine
times in ten says "Oh, a little nervous
ness, that's all - or neuralgia" or "insom-
MIA" or dyspepsia" If he suspects the
real cause he insists upon examinations and
local treatment,-abou the very worst thing
possible to nervous, overweight woman.
There is no need of these repugnant
methods. Any woman may insure health
