HE GAVE A SUGGESTION.

Rev. Father Frear, former resident
of the Islands spoke at Central Union
yesterday morning. He referred to
the remarkable growth and advance
ment in Hawaii and attributed this
largely to the work done by the mis-
sionary boards. The speaker stated
that these same boards were now la
boring under heavy expenses and he
would suggest that they be given all
the assistance possible by the people
of Hawaii who are interested in the
advancement of Christendom.

Reliable.

Saturday evening, January 20, a
party of eight left the city for trip
around the Islands on bicycles. The
list was made up of some of the lead
ing wheels represented here, among
them '97 Overland Special, which is
handled here by the HONOLULU b.
CYCLE COMPANY. The Overland was
the Only Wheel in the Lot which
made the round trip without trouble
of any kind. OVERLANDS are the
kind Of wheels that take you Away
from home and Bring You Back Again.
BY the last Australia we received a
few samples of the '9s OVERLANDS.
They are as much superior to the '97
product as daylight is superior to
darkness, and are without exception
the most beautiful models, and the
highest grade wheels ever shown here
for anything near the rice which we
shall sell them-$65. We defy all CON-
petition, even at much higher fig
ure.

Hawaiian
Electric
Company.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the incan-
descent electric light. Safe: nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
nv children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you wall.
We have complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

GRACE QF THE LITTLE ONES
THEY PRESENT \ VERY CLEVER
ENTERTAINMENT.
Mrs. Gunn's Dancing Class at Indepen-
dence Park Pavilion-Parents Proud
of Their Children.

The little exhibition made by Mrs.
Hugh Gums dancing classes on Sat
urday night was indeed treat to ma
ny an old heart. To see the little ones
tptoeing and showing their pretty and
unconscious graces was as n drop of
water to thirsty wayfarer on the
worlds highway. 1t was youth in the
very best of its period. There was
freshness. lack of self consciousness,
innate coquetry, without its unpleas
antness of after years. The affair was
a success from the start to finish and
Mrs. Gum and those who assisted her
deserve great credit for their efforts.
For after all dancing is one of the arts,
though our ball rooms have somewhat
vulgariIed what was the poetry of mo-
ton Il century or so age.
Independence hall was filed with
the best society people. The enter
tainment opened with a fancy drill by
the entire class Of nearly eighty little
ones. Then came the butterfly dance
by the little ladies, led by Doris Hay
wood. The cachuca was very pretty.
and was participated in by Marjorie
Freeth, Irene Fisher, Clara Ena. Clara
Williams, Ella Wright, Florence Lyons
Ada Rhodes and Linda Schaefer.
The Lancers and Danish dance
came next. Then Oliver Lansing very
gracefully skipped the Sailors Horn
pipe in most graceful manner. He
was dressed in a white sailor suit and
was obliged to go through the dance a
second time before the audience would
be satisfied. The tambourine dance
was participated in by Ada Rhodes.
Mary Freeth. Irene Fisher, Clara Will
liams, Edith Williams, Florence Lyons
and Beatrice Castle. After this came
a dance called the Lovers Quarrel. by
Ada Rhodes and Oliver Lansing. Both
lad and lassie were exceptionally good
in their parts.
The exhibition was concluded with
IA minuet. Twelve couples took part
Nearly all were daintily dressed in
French costumes of the time of LOUIS
NV. There were some in costumes
of other times.
Undoubtedly the presentation of the
Ililliputian minuet was the attraction
of the evening. The children were al
most faultless in the execution of the
numbers. Miss Zoe Atkinson is enti-
| tied to a great deal of praise for the
grace and skill in which the minuet
was presented, for it was she who had
trained the little ones.
The couples taking part in this
number were:

Among the Cub Women.

The Homer club convened for the sec
ond half of the years work at the art
room of the library on Jan. ). The first
topic on the programme was a charac-
ter sketch of Rosa Bonheur" Mrs.
Hammond successfully portraying the
same, with an account of the famous
artists works and pen pictures illus
trating the same. One of the most de-
1ightful talks given on any subject dur
ing the club year was by Mrs. Buzzo,
her topic being up and Down Many
Famous Streets" The descriptions of
Broadway. Piccadlly. Nevsky Pros
pekt and Unter den Linden, with many
Others, were SO real that the members of
the club We're carried to interesting
buildings and historical scenes with
vivid reality as the narrator proceeded
to draw her word pictures. The last
subject, The Women of the White
House. was prepared by Mrs. Lamson,
who is not only versatile writer, but
charming reader and a rare treat is
enjoyed in listening to any paper Mrs
Iamson presents.
If the new year closes as auspiciously
for the Woman's club as it has opened,
the members will feel that their efforts
have not been in vain, either in COM
passing the momentary pleasures of
their literary afternoons or in accom-
plishing the more enduring results that
the future holds in store for earnest
work l1nanimity of spirit. good fell
loWship and reciprocity form the un-
written law that governs the club, ana
the members live up TO their standard
10 a refreshing degree. The year book
has been completed, and although it
appears late upon the scene it will serve
10 recall pleasant memories of past
meetings, as we'll as to indicate to the
club its future responsibilities
At the meeting on Wednesday Mrs
Powell reviewed Rudyard Kiplng's
Captains Courageous" outlining with
n comprehending touch the transforma-
tion that took place in the character of
the boy, Harvey. The writer also gave
a careful criticism of kipling's writ
ings. Not only was praise bestowed
where it is undeniably deserved. but
weak points also We're impartially held
up to view. There was a short discus
sion of this paper. after which Mrs
Colyar read a paper en- the Origin of
Short Stories and Their Place in Lit
erature." Short stories. in the form of
tradition, fables. etc, We're shown To be
coeXlstent with literature itself. bur.
after a discriminating consideration of
their place in literature, the writer of
the paper silllfuily transferred To the
club the burden of the question by ask
ing. Which requires greater genius TO
produce-the novel otherwise the long
story or the short story" This evoked
the expression Of variety of opinions
from those present. The roll call for
quotations from Kiping was also an in
iefesting feature of the afternoon. Al
the next meeting DIR. Harris will read
2 paper on The Deciduous Teeth" and
Mrs. Symuns VIII review "Butte's Build
Ing, Plumbing and Sewerage Laws"
