THREE Of the APPLICATIONS

About a fortnight ago an advertiser
who used the signature 20. X" had

accomplish a matrimonial alliance be-
fore the end of the year. 20. X" init
mated that he would like to hear from
any young lady who wished a husband
with good general qualifications and
an income of 500 month

The signature 10 this is the correct
name of the man, an Advertiser re-
porter satisfying himself of the fact be-
fore the response was procured. The
name is well known throughout the
Islands. 20. X" has the income OF
500 a month. but IL there is legal
necessity for his marriage before jan
uary /, 1899, 1t is not known. Under
the restraining influence OF a strong
minded mother-in-law he might make
the right woman good husband. He
is man OF perhaps forty, is tribe
peculiar in his manner, is not bad look
ing, is a neat dresser. His brother,
who died lately in San Francisco, was
at one time a prominent man in the
old Honolulu Rifles, was captain OF a
company. 20. X" lives very quietly
in this city. During the past three or
four years he has made several trips
between Honolulu and San Francisco.
20. X" was not entirely courteous
to one young lady with whom he cor
responded. The trysting place was TO
be on Richards street, on the Executive
building walk. The young lady prom
enaded there for half an hour or more
but 20. X" did not appear. Perhaps
he was engrossed that evening in open
ing more letters.

One of the foreign, magazines, says the
New York Sun, announces a series of arti-
cles upon the Failures of Women" The
subject is to be treated in nine papers de-
voted respectively to failures in literature,
music, medicine, science, politics. fashions
cookery painting and sculpture; and, II
the first onslaught, which has already ap-
peared is an indication of the severity
that is to follow, poor woman will not be
left with even a withered twig of laurel.
The prospectus is very depressing. One
might be persuaded to admit that woman

ture. music, medicine, science politics.
sculpture and painting; but when one
learns that even in fashions and cookery
she has been a fiat failure, one is tempted
to believe THAI she is flaw in an other
wise clever scheme of creation, and is pre-
pared TO hear that even as a wife and
mother she hasn't been q success.
II takes the writer only two columns to
annihilate wOman's claim TO any lofty
niche in literature. He bows indifferently
to Sappho, in passing, and mentions casu-
ally that Jane Austen and George Eliot did
some passable work. but declares firmly
that so far as great creative literature is
concerned woman is a fiat failure.
The average woman may not resent be-
ing barred from the fine arts, but when

Dress may have very little to do with
women's clubs, says the New York Times
but it is a matter of enough Importance to
make a very great difference sometimes in
securing office A New York woman who
may be a candidate for president of the
General Federation of Women's Clubs won
the high position which she now holds to
a great extent by reason of her dress and
general appearance. Her election was
strongly contested, and there was much
feeling and talk in advance But when the
time of the election came the New York
woman was so well dressed, she looked so
much of a lady and carried herself so well,
while the opposing candidate was dressed
in a manner so noticeably careless that
women who attended the convention pre-
pared to vote for her changed their minds
at the eleventh hour and voted for the
woman of the good gowns and well-groom-
ed appearance. They tell a story of this
same New York woman which about caps
the climax of anything ever told about
gowns and is particularly interesting in
connection with clubs, where it is the in
tellect which is supposed to be cultivated.
IL was at the Philadelphia convention, so
the story goes, and there was no particu-
lar object to be gained, but the New York
woman did not wish 10 be outdone by any
one in the appropriateness of her cos
tunes for any hour of the day, so she took
her maid along and ten times in one day
she changed her gown and ten different
gowns she wore.

There is a certain young man in the
Greater New York, says the New York
Times, whose feminine relatives feel call
ed upon occasionally to tell him that he
is not all-wise, and that, though he may
feel quite competent to direct the world,
his sisters cousins and aunts included,
they have a different opinion.
The other day the young man had an
experience which. if it did not injure his
faith in himself, so far annoyed him that
he came very near losing his temper. The
friendly home critics had been reiterat-
ing their opinions of the young mans
overconfdence in himself, and the re-
marks were still fresh in his mind when
he met a friend and fell into conversa-
ton with him. The young man here ex.
pressed some of his well-founded opin-
ions. and the friend as they parted was
moved to eXclaim: "Oh, you know too
much"
This did not make much impression and.
continuing his way, the young man again
fell into ton, this time with a
stranger in the street car, and again his
opponent i'm the conversational duet SEEM
ed 20 detect a failing, remarking: "Oh.
you are too sood; you know it all"
This was a little personal, and the young
man felt some annoyance, but the recol-
lection of it had slipped from his mind
when, a few minutes later as he was
waiting TO take another car he saw near
him a "penny-in-the-slot machine" for
telling fortunes. To pass away the time
as he waited he dropped in penny and
watched carelessly to see the fortune-tell-
ing sentence which would appear. But
when it came he muttered something I'M

esis still pursued him, for there he read.

One thousand dollars for flag pin, says
the Philadelphia Times, made entirely of
jewels That is what one woman has
paid for her expression of patriotism since
the beginning of the war.
81 am so sorry for their poverty" said
a sympathetic woman once, speaking of a
family in dire need.
"E1ow many dollars are you sorry?" ask
ed a practical friend.
Putting patriotism in matter of dollars
and cents-though this is the more selfish
way in which it is done-the women of
Philadelphia are showing signs of great
patriotism.
There has been a marvellous increase in
the use of symbols for decoration within
the last few years. The practice has
amounted to a fad and upon the slightest
excuse small articles of wearing apparel
and jewelry are brought out, in expensive
and cheap goods, and the public buys them
in great quantities. Perhaps the souvenir
spoon began IL. The demand for spoons
was so great that ordinary designs gave
out, and since then, though the spoon fad
IS said to have died a natural death, there
is always a spoon for every important
event and some one must buy them. There
certainly never was prettier or more in
teresting fad. A souvenir spoon may break
the ice at the most icy festivity And now
that patriotism is the order of the day,
the American flag is the order Of the day.
IL may be questionable taste 10 have the
flag in the bowl of ones spoons, but the
flag has served for worse purposes
The flag pin appeals very generally to all
people Of all classes Quantities of the pins
with the flag buttons are sold in cheap
designs. but perhaps people have no idea
how much money is invested in valuable
articles of this kind.
The wearing Of the flag in this form is
