ciety.
In all some two hundred attended the
reception and ball and OF all the fair
daughters of California, none could out
shine the Rose of Hilo.
Miss Loke has received already offers
from theatrical managers by telegraph
and in person and several song writers
have asked permission to dedicate songs
TO her She has refused them all. One
San Francisco paper says. Doubtless
the refined manners and fluent speech
and Americanisms of Miss Rose will be
a great surprise to the gentle Kansans,
who are all expecting a young Kanaka
savage. The queen from the Hawaiian
Archipelago will be both a revelation
and an object lesson"
The attention and praise that Miss
Ioke has received has in no wise turned
her head. Although she is tail, stately
and beautiful, she is most aniabIe and
IN the gayest of spirits. She is intense
" interested in everything and to re-
ceive one of her winsome smiles for any
attention. no matter how small, makes
the recipient feel fully repaid She is
impartial as a queen should be and
smiles on all alike. The officers and
men of the goth Kansas prepared
special review for her at the Preside
Thursday afternoon but Miss Loke was
for a few hours confined to her room
with nervous headache and was un-
able to attend.
