81 can help you a little, aud you
can help me-" she said, and little
later sent her secretary for an Eng
lish song, Her Likeness" 1t was a
flowery song, full Of imagery, at the
end Ossian-like.
will you please sing this for
me2" she asked the young girl, and
listened with delight as she complied.
"Our music is one sound-a low
monotone with quaver now and
Them" Liliuokalani said after the
song, "like this" and touching her
autoharp family she sang with soft,
mournful intonation a few notes.
The American music, as lacking in
distinctive school and national spirit
was then discussed, and the Hawai-
ian music, as exemplifed by the
Hawaiian band which was in the
West last summer, characteristic,
full OF feeling, with strong under
current OF sadness and vein OF ex-
quisite tenderness. Lullabies were
spoken Of.
"We have never had lullaby, no
cradle song, ever" said Liliuokalani.
"Will your majesty be so kind as
to sing your own song, Aloha Oe,'"
the young girl asked.
The ex-Queen bowed and said:
"Aloha means greeting, farewell,
and it also is love"
Accompanied on the guitar by her
Hawaiian secretary and by herself
on the autoharp, she began her in
spring song, and before the end
Mr.. Palmer and the Hawaiians
present were also singing.
The unconventionality, the friend
illness, the dignifed reserve Of Liliu-
okalani are striking, and in her
presence the question, Is it justice
or injustice that has been melted
her? presents itself.

Liliuokalani became utterly lost in
