that time she has been obtaining the high
est education which England could give
her as we'll as enjoying the best of social
advantages
The princess will soon reach her twenty
second year Sho is n typical Hawaiian
beauty-tall, graceful and of fino figure,
showing her Kanakn blood only in her
olive skin and her big, dark eyes Her
father is tho Hon. A. S. Clcghorn, gen
tlcman of British birth, but long resi-
dent of the Sandwich Islands and a man
of great wealth. Her mother was the
Princess Miriam Likclike, Il sister of the
lnto King Kalakaun, who rcigncd for II
years, and also of ox-Queen Liliuokalani,
whose brief rule WINS cut short in 1898
Mrs. Clcghorn died when her daughter
was but II years old, and two yonrs later
the princess went to England In charge of
Mrs. L. K. Walker, the wife of tho British
consul. Then she became u member of tho
family of tho Hon. Il. H. Dnyis, an d
friend Of hor father and man of large
wealth and high social standing Only
once since thon has she visited the United
States, and that was in 1S93 when she
calno over to protest against the Harrison
treaty Of annexation. About all she did
then was to issue through the medium of
tho newspapers pathetic and eloquent
"e"iiise VIC stcp WHICH
would cause her people to loso their ma.
tionality.
According to tho old Kanakn law, the
Princess Kaiulani is the next in limo of
succession after Liliuokalani, for by both
mnternal md pGternal descent she is con-
nectod with tho Kamehnmehas, who for
66 years were tho ruling family in Hawaii.
Undor tho present conditions, however.
sho can DO officially recognized merely as
Miss Cleg born, just as Liliuokalani now
appears on Unolo Sam visitors book as
Mrs. Dominis.
Just what this romantic young princess
Will do when she eventually arrives in her
islnnd homo and how sho will DO received
by the native Hawaiians, who have been
told that thoy will soon become oitizons of
tho United States, can only be conjoctured.
1t Is an entertaining situation ut any rate.
