The dressing table is large with brass plates, and handles to the drawers, and on the top is a strip of seashell pink linen, with drawn thread work and em- broidery. The bedspread is of the same material and worked with a large mono gram in the center.
 Tho writing table is very wide and strong, with good-sized shelf for photo- graphs and various treasures the blotter being covered with the same pink linen and embroidered monogram. The wash stand has green, tiles and seashell pink ware. The curtains are pink, lined with pale green, and on the window is pretty settee, with rush seat and pink and green silk cushions. The chairs are chiefly of the same kind, with two of wicker work. All of them are painted green, and have loose pink and green cushions Fresh mat ting covers the floor, and a few rugs are spread about, the prevailing color being green. Favorite pictures are hung on the walls and open spaces not included in the wood work. Round the head piece of the bed runs the following quaint motto:

 Ten to the world allot, and all to Heaven"

 When Kaiulani saw that she could not get her throne, she did what a woman would naturally do-she chose the next best thing. A native prince, the wealthi- est on the island and one who had been educated in England when <she was there, has long sought her hand, and Kaiulani, weeping for the throne, turned to him for consolation. They will live in Hawaii, and will be supported partly by the immense income of the prince scocoanut estate and partly by the pension which Kaiulani re- ceives for life. This pension will stop should she ever raise an army to take the throne by force.
