Unlike all other young women in

Captain Writings Happy Home.
Miss Henrietta All Fong, who mar
rled Captain Whiting, q. S. n, and
nov at Manila ii command OF the
M%onadnock, is considered the most
charming in the family. She is a
pretty brunette, and is the only book
reader among the girls. While all the
guls have had 81 much attention from
naval officers, it was nevertheless q
nine days wonder in Honolulu and
San francisco when the announcement
Went out that grave, dignided and
arlstocratlc Commander Whiting was
to wed Miss ALI Fong. 10 be sure,
she Vas very bright and pretty and
would adorn any home, and-and she
had an absolutely sure dowry Of $780,
900, aud may get more. But then
there is the persistent thought that
possibly CID Papa All Fong aud his
queue aud his cIattering wooden shoes
may come out of China one day Oh a
visit to his daughters. Then, too, one
cannot suppress the wonder whether
auy of Mamma All Fong's Kauaka

generations. Tie naval officers, even
those who had repeatedly been guests
at tho ALI Fong mansion, shook their

themselves.
But tue marriage. which took place
in May, 1884,, has proved n perfect
union. Captain Whiting and his wife
have a beautiful home among tue
c%ocoanut trees of Honolulu, and their
devotion to each other is only married
by their common devotion to their
three-year-old girl. Mrs. Whiting is
one of the most beautifully gowned
woman among the naval circles any
where.
