KAP|OLAN| PROJECT DEAD
SENATE COMMITTEE REPORTS on
IT THIS MORNING.
Both Bills on the Subject Considered
and the Recommendation Made that
They Lie on the Table.

The kapiolani beach lot project is
probably killed for this session of the
Legislature. The special Senate COM
mittee to which both bills on the
subject were referred reported today
recommending that they be laid on
the table. Both bills were introduced
early in the session. One provides
that the lessees of the beach lots may
acquire fee simple title to their lots.
The other provides that at the eXpi-
ration of the leases they shall become
a part of Kapiolani park, so as to give
the public access to the sea. The com
mittee says:
Your committee fully appreciate
the desirability of a sea beach adjoin-
ing the'park, where the general pub
lie can enjoy the sea air and sea bath
ing. On the other hand we endorse
and heartily approve of the policy of
the present government to encourage
people to build up attractive homes.
and it seems a little hard to say to
those who have lived on these lots for
years, and who expect to make them
homes for twenty-five years to come,
that they cannot have the privilege of
acquiring fee simple title to them.
The sea beach in front of the lots
is very much broken up with lodges
of coral that run out into the water,
and this portion of the Waikiki beach
is, for that reason, poor for bathing
purposes.
"The other portions of the beach at
Waikiki, however, which we believe
might be obtained by the park COM
mission, that are comparatively free
from coral, furnish good bathing and
would be much more valuable addi-
tions to the park than the beach in
front of the lots in question.
"Your committee feel that an effort
should be made at once to secure for
the park these more desirable portions
of the beach, and that an opportunity
be given the park commissioners to
do so. IF this can be accomplished the
lessees of the park house lots might be
allowed to obtain fee simple title TO
their houses.
''For reasons given above your COM
mittee would advise that no action be
taken on either bill this session, but
that both bills be laid on the table"

GANG PLANK FELL.

One of the gang planks of the S. S.
Zealandia slipped from its fastenings
people were surging aboard and off
the ship, and the deck and docks
were crowded A woman was on the
plank going ashore at the time, and
received bad shaking up. 1t seem
ed almost miraculous that the plank
was not crowded when it fell. Had
it been the accident would have been
very serious. The woman who was in
jured was assisted by friends.

JAMIE WILDER HEARD FROM.

Jamie Wilder has again been heard
from, this time from Ponape, where
he spent Christmas. In letter writ

and thence proceeding by a trading

to return home soon, tired of his wan
wanderings in Japan and among the
South Sea Islands. The latest letter
was brought from Ponape by the mis-

PAID HER OWN WAY
Woman Went to Europe Six Times in
Twelve Years

A pluCky American woman who be-
gan to support herself at Is, says the
Philadelphia Times, has shown how a
poor school teacher can see Europe to
the best advantage in twelve years.
Earning q small salary in a public
school, she has taken private pupils and
lived frugally and has been able to go
to Europe every other year for two
months holiday.
Her first journey was made to Eng
land and Scotland. and was enjoyed so
keenly that she planned another one
and saved money for it during the next
two years. The second tour was through
France, Belgium and Holland, and in
order to travel comfortably she learned
French during her leisure hours.
Returning to her school work she be-
gan to study German. and at the end of
two years was ready for a journey up
the Rhine and to Vienna, and thence
through Dresden and Berlin to Bremen.
With renewed ardor she plunged into
the study of Italian, and at the end of
two years she started for Rome. She
made the round of the Italian cities, and
spent a fortnight in Switzerland. Two
years afterward she was in Spain, and
was able to speak the language.
During the last year she made her
sixth journey to Europe, travelling
through Denmark, Norway and Sweden
to Russia, and spending a fortnight in
Moscow. She carried with her fair
knowledge of Swedish, and not only
knew the Russian alphabet so as to read
the street signs, but could make her own
bargains with drosky drivers and go
about without guide.
In the course of twelve years she has
made six journeys to Europe and learned
to speak six modern languages, and she
has supported herself entirely by her
earnings as a school teacher, and has
paid every penny of her travelling ex-
penses. Starting with a painstaking
study of the language of the country
which she was to. visit, and also prepar-
ing herself by course of reading, she
has made the best possible use of her
time abroad.
The refard for all this energy and
perseverance has come in her thirtieth
year. Her knowledge of foreign langu-
ages has fitted her for broader work as
teacher and she has left the public
schools to take position as instructor
in French, German and italian in
high school for young women.
There may be higher aims than those
ordinarily involved in foreign travel, but
the persistency of this American girl in
carrying out her plans is worthy of
praise. 1t is a great gain in any human
life, if it is governed by definite pur-
pose and keeps that purpose steadily
in mind.

PARIS, Feb. 1.-(Special Correspond

a dozen tragedies, or, in other words,
wrote them, and then. being possessed
with the idea that l was a budding
young genius, for whose talents Brit
tany afforded too little scope, I packed
my valise and started for Paris.
Here, fortunately for me, I met a
friend in the elder Dumas. I wrote a
play in collaboration with Dumas fills,
which attracted little notice, composed
I'm Dram dams les Aris,' which at
tracted some attention, and then
achieved my first great success with
my 'Cinq Semaines en- Ballon.'
"The success of this production intox-
icated me. 1 expected to become a new
Balzac within a week, and had it not
been for the paternal advice of my pub

story. Thus the Tour of the World in
Eighty Days was suggested while 1 was
studying one of Cooks tourist adver-
tisements. When the idea had once
been born it was an easy thing for the
story to develop. l had to study the
characteristics and geography of the
countries through which l took my voy-
ayers, and construct the story around
them. So it is with many of the ideas
that come to me. They are suggested by
some little simple thing like that 1 have
referred to, and as l think about them
more and more they gradually take such
| shape in my mind as enables me to COM
pose the outline of my story. Then go
to work and build it up, little by little,
until the complete literary structure is
erected.
"Such ideas as those that I select for
most of my books are not obtained by
| travelling They come to me when
need them. Mind, do not intend to say
anything against the stories that arr
written by men who travel many miles
to accumulate the data, and spend days
and weeks in getting the local coloring
to their liking. This is not my way. My
books are written in my home, and the
ideas get their being there, too.
81 am still writing and feel so well, and
enjoy my quiet life so much, that see
no reason why I should not expect to
continue writing for many years to
| come"
And the writer of this can bear wit
ness to the fact that Jules Verne has all
the appearances of man who will de-
light the public with his thrilling vol
umes for long time yet, despite the fact
that he is nearing the limit allotted to
mans life.

that boasted very little flare.
ELABORATE WAISTS

ELABORATE WAISTS
The corsage was of white satin covered
full with pale gray tulle that was en-
brodered with petunia chenille dots.
Across the bust line there was a strip
of pale gray passementerie that was
heavily incrusted with spangles. A
broad petunia velvet ribbon commenced
at the left shoulder seam and continued
down into the velvet girdle. The line
was continued down to the bottom of
the skirt so as to give princess effect.
Three butterfly bows of the velvet
trimmed the velvet strip on the skirt,
and another bow trimmed the bodice at
the left side where the passamenterle
and velvet joined. The sleeves were
draped high, of the pale gray ottoman.
The big black velvet hat that was worn
with this gown was set on band of pale
yellow roses.
In gloves to be worn with these dressy
gowns there is a wider range for choice
than usual. With the deep violets L
notice number of pale lavender kids,
and with gray gowns are worn gray
gloves so pale that the tint is hardly dis
cernible. These two shades share the
popularity Of white glace kids.
